We were there a couple weeks ago and they decided the 5:30 ferry would be a 5:00 ferry that Sunday so we missed it by like 10 minutes... :evil:
Luckily, there was a 5:30 running out of RH that day so our cabbie busted his butt to get us over there in time to catch it, and I was on the phone with the ferry at RH a couple times while we were en route just to make sure they would wait for us...
Have a plan B and put both the CA and RH ferry numbers in your celly in case you need to give them a call..
We tried to call and verify ferry times earlier that am and couldn't get anyone to answer..
Just wanted to give you a heads up, as it caused us alot of stress because we were headed to Tortola and did not want to have to spend the night on STT~


Are you saying this schedule is not really followed?
Leaving Red Hook, St. Thomas
6:30 am, 7:30 am then hourly from 8:00 am to Midnight
We arrive this Sunday at 4:40. I have no problem waiting, but some of you make it sound like that's the last boat?! It does run until midnight right?
I think the poster was referring to the CA 5:30 ferry. Maybe they meant to say 6pm ferry when referring to RH? But I have heard the ferry times can be funky.

I think you have gotten a lot of good advice.

We will be staying at Grande Bay for our next trip to St. John. Please post a trip review when you get back! I would love to hear your tips!
