Great news for visitors with flights arriving in Saint Thomas too late to make the 4:15 PM ferry from Charlotte Amalie or the 5:00 from Red Hook!
Starting on November 10, 2019 and continuing until the end of the year, Road Town Fast Ferry has added a 5:30 PM boat from Charlotte Amalie to Road Town. The new late ferry will operate on WEEKENDS only (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). BVI Customs and Immigration, which normally closes at 7 PM, will remain open until all passengers are cleared.
In addition, they have added a 12 noon ferry from Road Town to Charlotte Amalie also operating only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There are a number of flights into St. Thomas that arrive after 4 PM that visitors can now consider as an option for getting to the BVI. The new late ferry is only scheduled to run until December 31st. No plans have been announced for 2020.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
