There are taxi drivers just waiting to take you to the Red Hook ferry! The ride is about 20-30 minutes or so. For the past few years we have used the private land/water taxi. www.watertaxi-vi.com and they hook you up with Christopher's taxi and they are waiting on you at the airport to take you to a private dock. Taxi ride is still 20-30 minutes - water taxi - 10 minutes!! Hassle free and no waiting!

You will have plenty of time to take any of the airport taxis to Red Hook for the 4:00 ferry.

Yes you will make the 4pm Red Hook no problem taking the regular taxi and regular ferry so putting you on STJ by 4:20pm.
If you want to get there quicker, you will need to use a private water taxi and private taxi - for the taxi use Rachel and for 4 people she will charge $25.00 per person and for the private water taxi $125.00 (I believe) here is the link http://virginislandswatertaxi.com/Rates.html and by doing so you will be on STJ about 45 mins quicker but it will cost you about $150 more.

Which boat? If you are on a private boat or a charter, I would have them pick you up in Red Hook. It will save some time. You can be in Red Hook a little after three. Either way the ferry at four will put you in Cruz Bay at 4:20 to 4:30 range and you will have an hour to an hour and a half of daylight left.AlohaMates wrote:Thank you for your help and information.

Years ago, we used to get East end taxi at the airport. The way it sounds, we can just pick up our luggage at the airport and easily get a taxi to take us to Red Hook?? That sounds easy. Does anyone call ahead to East End taxi anymore? Thanks...

Always plenty of taxis waiting outside the baggage claim area to take you to Red Hook. They are not private taxis; you will be sharing with other folks and you may make a stop or two along the way to drop off other passengers. If you want a private taxi, there are several to choose from ~ and, make your arrangements with before your trip.phyl wrote:Years ago, we used to get East end taxi at the airport.
