USVI-On-Line

So I am trying to figure out the most cost efficient way for the 6 of us to get from STT to STJ...

So do we take a private taxi to CA & then the ferry to STJ, or do we take a private taxi to RH & a private water taxi to STJ???

We didn't keep all of our costs from out last trip to compare. I know the taxi is cheaper to CA, but the ferry is more, & that the taxi is more to RH but the ferry is cheaper.

I guess the real ?? is, is it more cost efficient/less of a hassle to do the private transportation when you have 6 people sharing???

I beleive we paid $60.00 for the taxi from RH to the airport last time.

Thanks

PS, needed to see my ticker, it has been way to long

I'd suggest the private taxi all the way to Red Hook and then a water taxi over.

Private taxi for 6 people = $90 (No waiting, no stops, no extra charge for luggage)

Water Taxi is $130 (No waiting, no stops, no extra charge for luggage, you can have a beer on the way!)

I wouldn't recommend the CA pick-up. I think your time/cost savings are greater just going to Red Hook.

P.S. I took the water taxi rates from www.dolphinshuttle.com

We recently did just what verve said. With just the two of us we have always done the public taxi/ferry route. We had 6 of us last time (other forumites)to share the cost and I thought it worked out great. It was a little more expensive, but the convenience was worth it. We used Dolphin and they were professional and reliable.

For our group (5 or 6 people each year), I think we ended up paying a $6-7 per person extra going private. We have done this for three years and will be doing it again in Feb.
