Departing St. Thomas on the Road Town Fast Ferry I was charged $35 for the one way fare to Tortola, plus $10 as the "new USVI departure tax" (I believe this was invoked about a year or so ago). Needless to say, a day trip from Tortola to St. Thomas has become very pricey ($35 one way from Tortola, plus $15 departure tax - as I am a resident - it is $20 departure tax for visitors), then $35 one way from St. Thomas plus $10 departure tax means it's $95 round trip for me, $100 for visitors. I never buy round trip since I want to be able to take the next ferry leaving and the three ferry companies no longer honor each other's tickets. Very disappointing!
