Ferry Schedules
One of the biggest advantages of taking the ferry is the flexibility it provides. With multiple ferries departing daily, you can easily create your own itinerary and customize your trip to fit your preferences. This means you can spend as much or as little time on each island as you want, without worrying about adhering to a strict schedule.
Another benefit of taking the ferry is the opportunity to take in the stunning scenery of the Virgin Islands. As you sail between the islands, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and lush green hillsides. It’s truly an unforgettable way to experience the natural beauty of the region.
