    Why take the boat?

    By road

    Public ferry: a few fixed departures/day

    The St Thomas–Tortola public ferry runs only a handful of times a day, fills up in season, and means an immigration queue with no door service. Miss it and you wait hours.

    By sea

    45 min

    A private crossing leaves when you do, direct from Red Hook to Road Town or your villa dock. 45 minutes, customs handled on arrival, no ferry line.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    About 45 minutes from Red Hook to Road Town in normal conditions.

    Yes — this is an international crossing from the US Virgin Islands into the British Virgin Islands. Customs and immigration are cleared on arrival in the BVI.

    Road Town, West End (Soper's Hole), or your hotel/villa dock. We confirm the exact point at booking.

    From €690 for a private transfer (whole boat, up to ~5–8 guests), all-in: captain, fuel, insurance and port fees. Customs and immigration fees (around $65 entry / $45 exit per person, cash) are paid separately at the dock. Confirmed at quotation.

    Yes — we run onward legs across the BVI (Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada) as part of the same private charter.

    Red Hook is about 30 minutes by land taxi from the airport; we track your landing time and hold the boat. Meeting point is American Yacht Harbor — your captain confirms the slip by WhatsApp.

    West End (Soper's Hole) is the closest port of entry to the USVI; Road Town works better for east-island villas. You clear customs at the port of arrival, then we can continue to your villa or marina dock.
