Planning Your Travel to the VIRGIN ISLANDS
For a charter starting in Tortola, the most convenient option is to arrive in Tortola (Beef Island Airport – code EIS) via San Juan, Puerto Rico. The second choice - which usually requires a little more travel time, but is less expensive - is to arrive in St. Thomas (Cyril E King Airport - code STT) and take a ferry to Tortola.
Please note that if your group has more then 6 people in it then you will have to start and end your charter in Tortola.
The ferry ride is 45 minutes and costs $45-$50 round-trip per person. The ferries run several times daily from approximately 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, starting in Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook, St. Thomas and landing in West End or Road town, Tortola. Advance ferry reservations are not necessary. In order to take the ferry the same day as your flight, you should arrive in St. Thomas before 3:00 pm. In case your only flight option is to arrive later than 3:00 pm, we suggest making hotel reservations in St. Thomas and taking a ferry the following morning to Tortola. If you are planning on leaving the same day that your charter ends we suggest a flight time of 2PM or after. Another option is that you can fly into St Thomas and out of Tortola or visa versa.
It is not possible to take a ferry from Tortola to St. Thomas for an early morning flight leaving from St. Thomas.
The ferries operating between St. Thomas and Tortola are Tortola Fast Ferry, Smith's Ferry and Native Son Ferry. For a charter starting in St. Thomas you would simply arrive in St. Thomas (Cyril E King Airport - code STT.)
