taxis and ferries st. john
 

Can anyone tell me the cost of a taxi (i understand it's per person) from the airport to red hook? the cost of the taxi from the airport to char. am. also time it takes to get from airport to each and the length of the ferry ride a the other end? we land in stt at 12:30 and hope to have our rental car by 3.... but 4 is okay! just trying to pin down some of the little details of our november trip.... thanx in advance

If I recall correctly, it was about $25-$30 from the airport to Red Hook and took about 25-30 min. From the airport to the ferry dock at CA only takes about 5-10 minutes and costs $8-10. The ferry from Red Hook to STJ was about 20 min. If you're checking bags, allow 15-30 minutes to pick them up, and allow about 10 minutes for the taxi drivers to get a group together, unless you want to pay a premium for travelling without other passengers. They have a system down pat, but they don't like to travel with partially loaded vans. I'm sure that barring unforeseen circumstances, getting your car (at Cruz Bay?) at 3:00 is doable - and 4 is certainly doable!

Thanx!!

Seasweetie is probably right but the official rate from the airport to Red Hook is $15.00 for one person or $11.00 per person for more than one & they tend to make you share the taxi. I think they also charge for bags but I don't know how much. There should be a sign at the airport with the rates.

You should look at Dynamic Tours- a private taxi service which is $50 pp round trip and no cost for luggage. They will even stop at stores along the way. I think they only go to red hook-which runs every hour until midnight. CA only runs abou 4 to 5 times daily i think.
