Great news for those traveling to Jost Van Dyke! Inter Island Boat Services has announced the resumption of their St. Thomas to JVD ferry service. They reported on their Facebook page, “You asked for it and we listened. On Friday March 15, 2019, trips to Jost Van Dyke will resume out of Red Hook, St. Thomas with a stop in Cruz Bay, St. John.”
According to the post, scheduled trips to JVD will be only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the following times:
Departing Red Hook, St. Thomas @ 7:30 am and Departing Cruz Bay, St. John @ 8 am
Departing Red Hook, St. Thomas @ 2:45 pm and Departing Cruz Bay, St. John @ 3:15 pm

In addition, Inter Island Boat Services also offers ferry service between Red Hook, St. Thomas and Road Town, Tortola.
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.
