Water Taxi from Tortola to Virgin Gorda

Hi, I'm back with another question. Has anyone hired a water taxi after 8pm from Tortola to another island? We are too late for the ferries. If so, what is the cost? Thanks, Owa

Owa dear

Did you say "water Taxi" ? Make sure you have your DH at hand to help you aboard !

I know you'll be fine with any mode of transport...I just still hyperventilate at the mention of "water taxi"

I'm not sure where you finally decided to go, Owa-- but remember that some of the resorts will pick you up in Tortola no matter how late in the evening. We "private" ferried over to Little Dix at around 11:00 last time; plane was very late and LD was great. (You've been to Peter I if I'm remembering correctly, so you know abt the private ferries....)

Marion, you gave me a laugh! We will start our flying day at 5am and arrive to Tortola at 8pm. I will probably need more than my husband's help.

Are you impressing all the physical therapists with your agility and skills? Owa

Try Dohms Water Taxi; they've picked me up at Red Hook once @10PM going to St. John. I've also used them between the BVI's a few times (although never at night)

Google them-you'll find their website.

I stayed at Biras Creek on Virgin Gorda 8 years ago, if my memory is correct it took some time to get there from Tortola. I would rent a room for one night near the port in Tortola. You don't know what the weather might be like and how late your plane could be. Just a suggestion.
