Ok I made up the part about Free Beer but figured nobody wanted to see another "ferry question" Last year we let the Moorings take care of our ferry & taxi reservations and this year it is my turn to plan our trip. I was told for the six of us that I could have the Moorings book the ferry/taxi for $100 per person roundtrip. First week of June we land in St. Thomas at 1:40 (we hope) and I have already contacted Kevin (Thank y'all for the tip on him). I'm not sure if landing at that time makes a difference on if we should leave from C.A. or Red Hook for the fastest departure? Guess the question is would y'all just take the easy route and let them handle our reservations or should I book the ferry and grab a taxi when we arrive in road town. Thanks a bunch!

Kevin will know precisely which ferries are running, whether they are on time, and based on your arrival whether you can make the earlier RTTF out of CA, the next ferry out of Red Hook or the later RTTF out of CA. Therefore, don't buy your ferry tickets in advance, because you won't know which ferry you will be taking. You can count on Kevin to get you to Road Town in the shortest possible time. We expect to follow this plan on May 29 for Delta's 1:40 pm arrival out of ATL. It worked great last June.

Hi It’s good to know that someone was able to get in touch with Kevin - in our case not so much. We e-mailed him at kevintaxi101@yahoo.com on the 13th and have yet to get a reply. Unfortunately, we are dinosaurs who don’t have a cell phone, so I guess we are stuck with the guys with the vans. Anyways, it’s wheels up next Tuesday the 19th, getting into St. Thomas at 2:45 on American. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get to the 3:30 Smiths or the 4:15 RTFF. We’ve got to get to the ITGO office in Road Town for a vehicle before Ethlyn closes up shop at 5:00.

However, if you don't have a cell phone, how do you plan on letting him know if your flight is delayed? He's wasted a lot of time on people who simply don't show and don't have the courtesy to let him know.

As another option on STT I would consider using Stanley from Love Cab. He provides the same outstanding service as Kevin. 340 775 5951. On Tortola Frank Ferrol is also a good name to keep in your hip pocket. 284 543 1114 Both are simply great and can be a big help with lost bags and other issues that come up. G
