PRIVATE CHARTERS FOR GROUPS

Is it your first time landing at San Juan airport? Here are some tips that will help you:
Ferrys
Several ferry companies operate out of Charlotte Amalie; these offer rides to Tortola a few times each day, but rides to Virgin Gorda directly are only offered two days a week.
Visitors coming through St. Thomas airport must take a taxi to the dock in Charlotte Amalie.
Many people favor this route over others because the ride on the ferry is relaxing for them! The ferry ride provides a seal-level view of St. Thomas, St. John, and many other islands in the Virgin Islands chain.
If you are planning on taking a ferry to or from the BVI, ALWAYS double-check the schedule of the ferry provider you are traveling with. Make sure the route and departure times do not conflict with your flight arrival times.
VI and BVI Water Taxis
Another way for travelers to get to Virgin Gorda via St. Thomas is a water taxi. Water taxis are fast and convenient.
Several VI and BVI water taxi providers offer services to people going from STT to BVI – including Virgin Gorda. Water taxis can be lifesavers, in case you miss a ferry. VI, BVI water taxis are quite a bit more comfortable and offer a far less stressful commute than ferries, but come with a higher price tag per passenger.
