Arriving from St. Thomas
Experience unmatched convenience with the Road Town Fast Ferry, offering a direct route from downtown Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, to the vibrant capital of Road Town, Tortola. Unlike other ferries that arrive at West End—requiring a 15-minute, $15 cab ride to reach the island’s center—this service delivers you straight into the action, saving both time and money.
Heading back to St. Thomas? The Road Town Fast Ferry bypasses the usual detour to St. John, which lacks a customs office and often adds up to 45 minutes to your trip. Instead, enjoy a swift journey directly into Charlotte Amalie, where U.S. Customs is located right at the dock, making re-entry as smooth as your departure.
Plus, arriving in Charlotte Amalie places you closer to the island’s top destinations, ensuring that your Caribbean escape begins and ends in the heart of it all.
