点评:We did a catamaran charter in the BVIs this summer. We decided to start the trip several days early on the island of St. John. The issue we faced was getting from St. John (USVI) to the marina on Tortola (BVI)… while there are ferrys running everywhere through the VIs, there are no direct ferry’s from S. John to Tortola… go figure. The only viable option (we thought) was taking a ferry back to St. Thomas, and then catching another ferry from there to Tortola… a 1/2 day wasted, and we still needed to get through customs/immigration on Tortola, then a cab to the marina. Enter Seahorse Water Taxi!
I’ll say up front it’s pricey… but, a boat picked us up at a dock on St. John, took us to the customs/immigration office in Soper’s Hole on Tortola, then directly to the marina, where we were dropped off on the dock next to our charter boat. We didn’t even get out of the boat at Soper’s Hole, the captain took our passports and was in and out in 5 minutes. What could have taken 6-7 hours (with ferry transfers, etc.) took 1-1/2 hours instead. We were able to spend an extra 1/2 day on St. John! Seahorse Water Taxi was the perfect solution! They coordinate land-based transfers as well. Looking back, great price for such an excellent service! Highly recommend Seahorse!
翻译:今年夏天,我们在英属维尔京群岛租了一艘双体船。我们决定提前几天从圣约翰岛出发。我们面临的问题是如何从圣约翰岛(美属维尔京群岛)前往托尔托拉岛(英属维尔京群岛)的码头……虽然英属维尔京群岛到处都有渡轮,但没有从圣约翰岛直达托尔托拉岛的渡轮……想想看。唯一可行的选择(我们认为)是乘渡轮返回圣托马斯,然后从那里再乘渡轮前往托尔托拉岛……浪费了半天时间,我们还需要在托尔托拉岛办理海关/移民手续,然后乘出租车前往码头。海马水上出租车来了!
先说一句,价格确实有点贵……不过,船在圣约翰岛的一个码头接我们,先把我们送到托尔托拉岛索珀洞的海关/移民局,然后直接送到码头,我们被送到了我们租船旁边的码头。我们甚至都没在索珀洞下船,船长拿着我们的护照,五分钟就搞定了。本来要花6-7个小时(加上渡轮等交通工具)的行程,现在只花了一个半小时。这样我们就可以在圣约翰岛多待半天了!Seahorse Water Taxi 真是个完美的解决方案!他们也负责协调陆上交通。回想起来,这么优质的服务,价格却这么实惠!强烈推荐 Seahorse!
