The travel-day problem
Getting from St. Thomas to Tortola shouldn’t eat your first vacation day.
- First you find a taxi at the STT airport, then ride across the island to the ferry dock
- The public ferry runs on its own schedule. If your flight lands late, you’re waiting for the next one, or stuck overnight
- Wrangling every bag on and off a crowded ferry, then getting a taxi from the terminal to your charter base
- Standing in the BVI customs line with a ferry full of passengers ahead of you
There’s a better way
