HOW TO GET TO ST. JOHN
Taxi, Ferry & Car Barge Transportation
Upon arriving in St. Thomas, you will either be taking a taxi or your rental car to the ferry terminal. See directions below for both options.
**We do not recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time as plans can change and there are no refunds or exchanges.
Instructions: Taxi to ferry terminal (passenger ferry)
Taxis are located outside of the baggage claim area. Let a taxi driver know which ferry terminal you're leaving from. Taxis are cash only, so be sure to bring plenty of cash with you as "cash is king" in the islands. Click here to view taxi rates so you know how much cash to bring.
There are 2 passenger ferry terminals: Red Hook (30 min. drive) and Crown Bay (10 min. drive.) Most people end up taking the Red Hook ferry because they leave every hour and Crown Bay has very limited ferry service. Based on your flight arrival time, you can determine which ferry is best for you.
The port in St. John where you'll be arriving is called, Cruz Bay.

Instructions: St. Thomas airport to car barge
If you're renting a car in St. Thomas, follow the directions your car rental company advises for your rental car pickup.
Once you have your rental car, head to the car barge, located in Red Hook (30 min. drive).
- Car barge is cash only. A representative will collect the money when you're actually on the boat.
- Only buy a one way ticket as you may not be on the same barge going back to St. Thomas.
- Car barges fill up quickly! Make sure to be at the barge 30 min before the boat departs.
- You will be backing onto the barge, so make sure a confident driver is in the driver's seat.
