Thank you for the information. We arrive at 230 at STT. How large are these ferries and how many people are on them? They're big but take a look at the various webpages for the ferries and you'll see pictures to give you a good idea.

Kevin Campbell is Taxi operator in STT. We always text him # people, flight #, arrival time and where we are going (ie Ferry to BVI). We never purchase ferry tickets ahead of time as then you are mostly locked into that ferry company. Upon arrival, Kevin meets us at baggage and we are out the door quickly with our group.. no waiting for taxi to fill up. If timing is close, Kevin may call the ferry to let them know we are enroute. Many times we are able to catch an earlier than predicted ferry.
Obviously must consider costs from home to destination. For many, this is STT/ferry/ground taxi. But check prices, as EIS may be better. Sometimes via San Juan with overnight hotel allows you to get there earlier, with less costs, and by leaving a day earlier(That 18-20 hr flight may fit with overnight hotel, with no stress regarding connection).
For some, getting to destination includes getting on charter boat in STT and sailing to BVI(which is destination for most). If waters are calm, like the past several days, this may be good. If winds are 25-30, then most newbies are going to be apprehensive)

I know this is not popular on this site, but we always pre-arrange our transfers. We us Marjorie Smith with Island Magic. magicplace@hotmail.com It saves, to us, a significant amount of money. We book round trip. Transfer from STT to ferry, ferry to and from Road Town, (TMM provides ride to and from there) and then from ferry to STT or for us whatever hotel we stay at for the night. If we arrive early we get on the first ferry, and if we are a little late, we get the next one. On the way back we have several times to catch a ferry. This service is $94 per person. Does not include $10 exit fee from USVI or $20 exit fee from BVI. Maybe we have been lucky, but so far so good. Enjoy
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.
