BVIs - ferry schedule arrival times
 
Hi everyone,

I see several websites that give the departure times / destinations of the various ferry companies in the Virgin Islands. What I never see is the ARRIVAL times, or lengths of time in route. Can anyone tell me where I might find this information?

In particular I'm looking for the length of time in route between:
- Tortola and Virgin Gorda
- Tortola and Jost Van Dyke

We will be first time visitors to the VIs in June and I'm trying to plan our days accordingly.

Thanks.

I can't help you with the VG portion, but Tortola is very close to Jost Van Dyke. If you leave from West End, I think it would be about 15ish minutes. The views are so pretty, it goes really fast.

Tortola to Virgin Gorda is about 20-25 minutes.

Perfect ScubaMom. We're trying to figure out if we should stay on Tortola or Virgin Gorda to go scuba diving with an operator (Dive BVI) located on VG.

The Tortola to Virgin Gorda ferry time will help us decide.

Been diving with Dive BVI since 1992! Good outfit!

Definitely stay on Virgin Gorda where Dive BVI has two operations -one at the Yacht Harbor near Spanish Town and the other at Leverick Bay. No matter where you stay on Virgin Gorda, one or the other isn't far away.
