Water Taxi Options
Water Taxi's are usually the fastest and more expensive way to get between St Thomas and Tortola.
Water taxi service in the Virgin Islands is THE way to travel between the islands to get to your charter. They handle the check in and out through customs and immigration. A little more expensive than the public ferry but keep in mind, they save you a taxi ride form the ferry terminal as they deliver you directly to us at the dock or out on anchor.
A quick google search of water taxis will bring up A LOT of options, here are two options that our guests have used in the past that we have had great experiences with.
Island Time Water Taxi
Island Time has a fleet of boats that service the USVI and BVI. They are also based at Nanny Cay Marina.
SeaHorse Water Taxi
SeaHorse includes the taxi from the airport to the water taxi making your travel day seamless.
