transport from STX to STT??

Basically, people do not comute between St Thomas and St Croix. It's too darn far. When people need to go to a meeting, etc. they usually take the seaplane.

How far is too darn far? I think its only a 40 mile jaunt. How much does a sea plane cost?

That 40 miles by ferry takes at least 90 minutes and a lot of fuel, and often costs you your lunch. . The seaplane is about $100 RT.

The ferry runs $90 RT and around 90 minutes. You can get the sea plane (18 minutes) from about $140 up t0 $180 RT. Commercial rate is about $135 RT

"Only" 40 miles...of open ocean. I haven't been on the ferry, but legend has it they pass out the barf bags up front...

I heard its "A little rough" 🙂

Or you could always swim..... 🙂

It is very rough, so if you get seasick early you definitely will need the barf bag they pass out as soon as they leave the docks.

The Seaplane has been running a $119 RT special, certain times and days, booked online. Also, on weekends and off season, they have offered a $55 one way walk -up rate. But, you take a chance or no seat if you don't make a reservation. We have had particularly rough seas recently, so the ferry would be very uncomfortable, plus it doesn't always run on schedule. The only reason I would ever take the ferry is if I were transporting something too bulky for the seaplane.

LOL, I've taken the ferry but I don't get sea sick so it wasn't a problem for me. Saying that, I prefer the sea plane because the trip is much shorter. I did meet a man once from STX that said he commuted to STT. He worked the Boy Scouts.
