I've been informed Smith's has changed their schedule slightly so I've updated the ferry schedule on bestofbvi.com .

Have to agree George, not worth the hassle of going downtown to find out nothing is running. Was talking to the owners of the Pump Room and they have been feeling the effects of the inconsistent ferries in their business.

We are coming into STT at 12:45pm on February the 9th and need to get to Road Town. Is a cab to Red Hook – Ferry to West end – cab to Road Town a good option?

There are four of us. I was just looking to get to RT as early as possible to enjoy some time at the hotel. The RT fast ferry looks like the least hassle- just looking for a sooner option. We are bareboating with TMM the next day.

if our flight arrive in St Thomas at 3:30pm on a Thursday, do we have enough time to catch the last ferry to Virgin Gorda?

Anything new on this one? If not, is the Native Son 5:00 the last from St Thomas to Tortola on a tuesday?

Just as an FYI, I've been trying to find ferries between USVI and BVI, and many, many of the times posted online are not running. Please make sure you call first to make sure the ferry is running. We based our flight to STT on the ferry schedules and are now having to get a private water taxi to Tortola to be to our charter company on time. Call first!

Ohhhhhhh yesss. How astute of you to notice. Most especially the Friday 14:30 stopping at Red Hook. It will stop there and about 30 people will board.. along with 500 cubic yards of toilet paper, Wheaties, tires, cases of drinks, massive bundles of styrofoam plates... and all that will be unloaded at West End Customs.. on top of all the bags of the other passengers. You haven't a prayer of finding your bags under that pile if you are able to blaze a path through it. It was a tedious and very long process after a very cramped ferry ride.
