We all know that the BVI is not the easiest place to get to. Flying into San Juan and then to Beef Island can be expensive. Flights into St. Thomas can be more economical, but many arrive too late for the last ferry. And we’re only talking getting to Tortola. Try getting to Virgin Gorda or Jost Van Dyke – now that’s a challenge!
What Can I Do?
Fortunately, there is a solution. Water taxis will pick you up at baggage claim at the St. Thomas Airport, take you to their boat and deliver you from the USVI directly to your final destination in the BVI. They typically provide door-to-door service, whether it is a resort, a villa or a charter boat. Water taxis are ideal for transportation to those hard to get to islands. They can provide service to just about any location in the BVI including:
How Do I Clear Customs After Hours?
Water taxi services can accommodate guests landing as late as 7 pm into STT and get them cleared after-hours into the BVI.
Who Can I Contact?
For your next BVI vacation check out one of these water taxi services and eliminate the hassle of getting to the BVI:
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.
