St. John Ferry
"Between the dark lakes where the dark rivers flow
There is no ferry waiting on the shore of rock
And no man holding a long oar,
Ready to take your last coin.
This is the real earth and the real water it contains."
William Collins
But unmatched with Mr Collins' expression, you will find beautifully decorated catamarans or ferries at St. Thomas port to take to the smallest of United States Virgin Islands, St. John.
St. John Ferry services prove beneficial for both travelers and those who use it as a mean of transportation. Sightseeing around this isle is also magnificent by a ferry boat. Besides, the boats keep in it preparations in order to provide you a bit refreshment during your sail.
There is no airport on St. John, so visitors to the island have to find alternative modes of transportation to get there. This should not be too difficult, however, as travel between the Virgin Islands is popular and St. John ferry services run frequently. From St. Thomas take a taxi to either Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook, both of which offer St. John ferry crossings several times a day.
From Charlotte Amalie a St. John ferry ride will take about 45 minutes and cost US$7; there are six St. John ferry crossings from Charlotte Amalie. St. John ferry services from Red Hook are shorter at 20 minutes and cost US$3 per person - they are also more frequent, with a St. John ferry making the trip every hour on the hour between 8 a.m. and midnight.
Enjoy the blue skies and blue waters while you travel to your destination. Besides, a ferry ride can also be termed most romantic for the newly wed couples who have come to enjoy their honeymoon on this island.
