Will be staying on st croix for a week at the end of March, wanted to know if there is a ferry that will take us to the other islands?

I have taken the seaplane from Christiansted to Charlotte Amalie then the ferry to St John .A bit scary but a unique experience nonetheless.I believe there is also a hydrofoil to take you to St Thomas but I don't know for sure...

Thank you Kate. Is it pricey to take the seaplane?

Also, how do you get around on St. Croix? We will be in a villa on the east of the island, do taxis or buses frequent that area, or does it make sense to rent a car for the week?

Karen

Yes, there is a ferry that is now and will be running for the next 6 months between STT and STX. I believe the fare is around $75 r/t for non-residents. There are also plans to expand that ferry service to include more runs between STT and PR and other islands. There is also Seaborne Air and other small puddle jumper flights between STT and STX. Ferrys are also avaiable and run between STT and St. John and many of the BVI's.

I think the seaplane was about $100 r/t per person but that was 4 yrs ago.The seaplane desk/hut is right on the harbour boardwalk you can't miss it.
I also had a villa on the east end and you must have a car.I rarely if ever saw any kind of public transportation but there are cabs galore but I think it is worth the money for the rental car so you can explore the entire island..Have a great trip..Unlike a lot of people on this board I really liked St. Croix..
Don't miss a day trip to Buck Island..so beautiful..

The Salacia(virginislandsfastferry.com) has retrned and is travelling the route between STX And STT daily. This has caused the Seaborne Shuttle once again, to lower their rates to $82.50RT for midday travel. It's wonderfull what competition does for pricing!
