Getting from Road Town to Red Hook by water taxi

Book your water taxi from Road Town, BVI to Red Hook, USVI. When your time in the BVI is over, a private water taxi takes your group back to St Thomas on your schedule, without fixed ferry times or waiting in line at the terminal. It suits families, groups and charter guests heading home or on to a flight out of St Thomas.

What to expect on the crossing

A water taxi carries only your group, so you leave Road Town when you are ready rather than when the ferry timetable says. Ferries can be cancelled or delayed, and a sailing can wait for another ferry’s passengers before it departs. With a water taxi you board in Road Town, clear out of the BVI and cross back to Red Hook on the east end of St Thomas. We operate with a number of providers and match you based on your route and number of passengers.

Leaving the BVI and arriving in the USVI

Fast immigration clearance on both sides. You clear BVI departure formalities in Road Town; the BVI online Immigration and Customs form (ED card) is required when leaving the BVI too. Arriving in the USVI, everyone on board reports to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), so bring a valid passport or other CBP-accepted travel document for each traveler. Government entry and departure fees are not included in our prices. See our BVI immigration & customs guide.
