The travel-day problem
Getting from St. Thomas to St. John shouldn’t be the hardest part of your trip.
- First you find a taxi at the STT airport, then ride across the island to the Red Hook ferry dock
- The St. John ferry runs on its schedule, not your flight’s. Just miss one and you wait for the next
- Wrangling every bag on and off the ferry with a tired group in tow
- Landing in Cruz Bay and then hunting for a safari taxi or your rental car
There’s a better way
STT airport to St. John, privately.
Your SeaHorse driver meets you at STT, helps with your bags, and brings you to our private boat in Red Hook. Grab a cold beer, water, or soda for the ride across to Cruz Bay. We can line up your car rental, a safari taxi to Peter Bay or Coral Bay, or your resort pickup, so your ride is waiting on the dock.
We watch your flight. If it’s late, we adjust. You’ll know exactly who’s meeting you and where, before you ever leave home.
