Getting from Red Hook to Nanny Cay by water taxi
Book your water taxi from Red Hook, USVI to Nanny Cay, BVI. Nanny Cay on Tortola’s south coast is a busy marina and a common starting point for yacht charters. There is no ferry to Nanny Cay, so a private water taxi is the simple way to get there from St Thomas: your group, your schedule, and a drop-off at the dock or your boat.
What to expect on the crossing
Your water taxi is a private boat for your group only. You board in Red Hook, cross to the BVI and stop at a Tortola port of entry to clear customs and immigration, then continue along the coast to Nanny Cay. There is no ferry timetable to work around and no waiting for another ferry’s passengers. We operate with a number of providers and match you based on your route and number of passengers, including a BVI-based boat for the leg after customs.
Immigration and arrival at Nanny Cay
Fast immigration clearance. Low-stress entry to the BVI. Nanny Cay is not a port of entry, so your boat clears BVI Customs and Immigration at a Tortola port of entry first. USVI water taxis are not allowed to continue past the point of entry, so the last leg is with a BVI-based water taxi. Bring a valid passport for everyone and complete the BVI online Immigration and Customs form (ED card) before you travel. Government entry and departure fees are not included. See our BVI immigration & customs guide.
Pickup points and timing
Pickup is in Red Hook on the east end of St Thomas; from the St Thomas airport (STT) you reach Red Hook by land taxi. Add your flight arrival time and your charter check-in time to your quote request, along with any other relevant information or requests, and we’ll plan the trip so you arrive at Nanny Cay ready to board.
