In November, we took the ferry from the main pier in Charlotte Amalie to Cruz Bay and there were 4 passengers going and 3 returning. I think that the ride was maybe 30 minutes longer than the ferry from Red Hook. I did notice that there were a lot of workers returning on the the ferry to Red Hook and it was crowded. We stayed at Olga’s Fancy and it was a few minutes walk to the main dock. A plus was having drinks and a snack at the Petite Pump Room.
