First, I would like to share that I really appreciate this forum and all of the great advice and sage experience people provide. It has been 8 years since our last charter. We will be arriving in July with a group of 7 people. I have used the Ferry from CA to RT on my previous trips, but read about many people recommending water taxis for only a little more cost.

I have received quotes from a couple water taxi companies and the price per person all in cost is $225-270. This includes airport taxi transfer STT to Red Hook. The ferry prices seem much lower at $60 per person plus the fee. I am a little unclear regarding ferry baggage fees. RTFF lists 3 bags per person for a fee of $10 and each bag after 3 is $10. Aquatic Rentals lists baggage fee of $10 per bag.

The economics of taking the ferry for one person with a couple bags appears to be about $90 vs the water taxi fee of roughly $250.

Please let me know if I am missing something in the comparison.

Also, it would be helpful if someone could confirm ferry baggage fees for me.

Thank you all for your help.
