hey we're booking May 21 until June 2. 1/2 charter 1/2 land based here in the next couple of weeks. Are you leaving tortola the day after your boat charter? I see TMM is in Road Town there is a ferry that leaves from there to Charlotte A as well. I don't see a 9:15 ferry from WE to Charlotte A. I'm using this link and ferry schedule is there an updated one somewhere? I have used this schedule since 2010? http://www.bestofbvi.com/info/bviferry_tortola_sttCA.htmBut either way leaving from WE at 10:00 you will be fine. That's good to know about the refurbished rooms at WE it might save us some taxi fare when arriving in WE on the ferry. We used to always take a taxi to CGB and then another to Sea Cow Bay in the morning. That's where we have always used Barecat Charters. I like the atmosphere of the boats and colorful buildings in WE and after beaches for 10 days it seems it would be refreshing and boom your there. just realized that the fish n lime they are talking about used to be the Jolly Roger. I have stayed in those rooms before and unless you can see a picture of the "refurbished" rooms I would not stay there.

Manpot said: The rooms at "Fish N Lime" have been totally refurbished..as has the whole establishment. As good as it was when Lou was running it?

I think there is a 10am ferry to Charlotte A that arrives 10:45 out of west end that is run from Native Son. Hoping 10:45 leaves us enough time to get to airport for 1:20 flight on AA (given some of the comments previously about being there 3 hours ahead). We wanted to stay down at West end to go to CGB or even Long Bay. We did this last trip down and it was great to unwind the day before we had to fly.

Getting pretty close there now that AA says it is shutting down the counter and baggage acceptance 90 minutes before departure. On a Saturday or Sunday it will be very hard to get that done by 11:50.

I generally don't trust the 10am ferry to be reliable. For a 1:30 +/- flight, I'd be on the 7am, have a leisurely breakfast at the Pump Room, casual wander through Charlotte Amalie and then off to the airport. I'm no fan of being up to that early to catch the 7, but after having the 10 canceled on me and scrambling to find alternative, I find it well worthwhile.

Also, regarding the Fish 'n Lime rooms...just recognize that they are RIGHT THERE at the restaurant. So...if it's a hoppin' night, you too will be hoppin' awake. Just sayin'.
