St. John FAQ's

Everyone arrives on St John by ferry. There are three ferries from St Thomas to St John, Cruz Bay. The Red Hook ferry, Charlotte Amalie Ferry and the Crown Bay Ferry. Ferry schedules are subject to change. The Red Hook ferry is about a 45 minute taxi ride from the airport and a 20-30 minute ferry ride to St John. This ferry operates the most frequently and the seas tend to be calmer. The Crown Bay ferry is about a 5 minute taxi ride from the airport and a 45 minute ferry ride to St John.  The Charlotte Amalie ferry is about an 8 minute taxi ride from the airport and a 45 minute ferry ride to St. John.  The seas can be rougher on these two ferries.

Please always make sure your flight arrival and departure times work with the current ferry schedules. You can find the current ferry schedules on the VI Now website – www.vinow.com

One for drivers licenses, one for passports and one for Global Entry. During season this can save you hours in line. Everyone must have Global Entry to enter that line and there card on hand. We also strongly recommend TSA precheck as well as wait times in the winter can be longer then usual. We also offer private water taxis and transfers.
