Ferry Option
You can fly into St Thomas Airport in the USVI and connect to a ferry. Be sure to allow enough time in your itinerary for the taxi ride from the airport to the ferry. We suggest allowing two hours from the time you land to departure of the ferry. Flights arriving from outside the islands may not arrive in time to connect to the ferry within the same day.
The closest ferry dock to St Thomas is Soper's Hole on Tortola. From Soper's Hole, it is about a 15 minute cab ride to our boat at Conch Charters in Road Town. There are also direct ferries to Road Town in Tortola.
