  St. John has hundreds of boat moorings but not one airport. For most travelers, getting to and from St. John ends and begins at the St. Thomas airport (STT). From the STT airport, it is a taxi ride to the Charlotte Amalie waterfront ($7.00 for one passenger, $6.00 if more than one + $2 per bag) or Red Hook ($14 for one passenger, $10 if more than one + $2 per bag).
The ferries between Red Hook and Cruz Bay, St. John leave Red Hook 6:30 am and 7:30 am and then hourly 8 am to midnight. The ferries leave Cruz Bay hourly 6 am to 11 pm. The ferry between Red Hook and Cruz Bay is a 15 to 20 minute ride and is $5 one way, children under 12, $2, luggage larger than carry-on, $3 a bag. If you miss the ferry at Red Hook (they generally are punctual), just walk around the corner to your left - lots of places to get snacks, meals, or shop for food in time for the next ferry.
 The ferries between Charlotte Amalie and Cruz Bay take 45 minutes and are $10 one way, $3.50 for children, luggage larger than carry-on, $3 a bag. They leave Charlotte Amalie at 9, 11 am, 3, 4, & 5:30 pm. They leave Cruz Bay at 7:15, 9:15, 11:15 am, 1:15, 2:15, 3:30 pm.
Please note that the rates quoted are the published rates as of December 2007 and subject to change.
We encourage Maho and Harmony guests to seek out Mr. Frett who owns and runs a taxi shuttle (an open but covered safari style truck) between Cruz Bay and Maho Bay/Harmony. He meets the 9 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, 5 pm, 7 pm and the 9 pm ferries from Red Hook. This is his in-season schedule; during other times of the year it would be worth checking the front desk (340/776-6240). He charges $7 one person, one way - luggage extra. He does not meet the Charlotte Amalie ferry but, if you wish to wait for Mr. Frett, there are lots of shops, stores and restaurants in Cruz Bay.
 If you miss Mr. Frett, any one of dozens of taxis will take you to Maho/Harmony from Cruz Bay. They will charge you more, $13 for one person one way, $9 per person if there are 2 or more people in the cab.
For Concordia, you should rent a car as it is very difficult to function at Concordia without one. You will want a car to get to stores, restaurants and even the beach. The St. John car rental agencies below are privately owned and, based on recent guest experience, are recommended. For the most part, the agencies are within a short walking distance from the ferry, but if you provide the agencies with your arrival information, many rental agencies will pick you up at the ferry dock.
