I had to chime in. We visited STJ with our 4 yr. old son and had a nice time. We came back again when he was 6, last summer. It was fantastic! The memory of him learning to snorkel and using fins for the first time has kept me smiling through this rotten winter. One of the greatest moments of my lif...

Last Minute Budget Planning

We are 8 days from arrival and I am trying to pull a budget together so I can have enough cash on hand. I probably overplan but it is my nature. I can't wait to defy that nature and ease into island time. Could someone please tell me the cost for the people ferry to STJ from Red Hook and the cost fo...

Thanks! We are planning to do a sail with Capt. Phil. My son can't stop talking about being on a boat. Any suggestions for how early to book or a recommended day?

Car Ferry

Just booked for our 3rd visit in July. :lol: I can't tell you how excited we are. We stay on STT but use the car ferry to STJ several times. How many barges are running these days? Does anyone know the roundtrip fee?
