What Kego said....you would be doing well to make the 230, but not impossible. Ideally, go for the 230, if you miss there is a later one. Pre-covid this was pretty easy as you didn't have to buy ferry tickets in advance. I'm hoping they can get back to no-advance-purchase-needed mode....perhaps they already are now that the entry protocols have been lifted.
Anybody have any latest on whether you can buy ferry tickets walk-up/no-advance? If you do buy them in advance, miss your scheduled time, and it’s a different company doing the next one, do you just lose it?

Have done it with less time many times. There is usually a later ferry also. Have never been late in all these years coming into STT. Baggage comes off quickly and just head outside there will be ton of people looking to give you a ride. Just look for a van and you are set. Its a 15 minute ride to the ferry dock. Walk up to the window and ask for the next ferry. Pretty straight forward. Ferries tend to leave late anyways due to them bringing mail and packages over. Do yourself a favor and check in and go upstairs to the Petite Pump Room and grab a Pain Killer for the beautiful ride over to Road Town. Have a great vacation.

You probably could make it. But personally I hate starting my vacation stressing on getting to the ferry dock in time. I would go for the 5pm and enjoy the view and cold drinks upstairs at the Petite Room. Have a great vacation!

We always wait till we get there and purchase the next ferry leaving. I have never seen them sell out. Its all the same price so we wait till we get there just for this reason.
