Getting from Red Hook to Road Town by water taxi
Book your water taxi from Red Hook, USVI to Road Town, BVI. The Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands are made up entirely of islands, so the main way between them is by water, and most passengers take the ferry. A private water taxi gives your group the same crossing on your own schedule: no ticket lines, no timetable, and a custom drop-off in Road Town or anywhere else in the BVI.
What to expect on the crossing
Apart from the convenience of traveling whenever you need to, a water taxi is a private boat for your group only. Ferries run to a fixed timetable, cancellations and delays happen, and a sailing can wait for another ferry’s passengers before it leaves, so be sure to check ferry times the day before if you go that way. With a water taxi you meet your captain at the dock in Red Hook and head across to Road Harbour. We operate with a number of providers and match you based on your route and number of passengers.
