The First Hour of Your Vacation Sets the Tone
You’ve just landed in St. Thomas (STT). The warm, humid air hits you—you’re officially in the Caribbean. But now, the second, more stressful part of your journey begins: getting to the British Virgin Islands.
For many, this involves a crowded land taxi, a frantic rush to the ferry terminal, long lines for tickets, and an even longer line for BVI customs, all while dragging heavy luggage. You’re racing against a rigid ferry schedule, and if your flight is delayed? You might be stuck for the night.
This is what “hurry up and wait” feels like.
Now, imagine this instead: You walk out of baggage claim and a friendly face is holding a sign with your name. Your bags are handled for you. You’re guided into a private, air-conditioned taxi. In minutes, you’re at the dock, stepping directly onto a sleek, comfortable powerboat. A cold drink is placed in your hand, your luggage is stowed securely, and you’re speeding across the turquoise water, directly to your villa, resort, or charter yacht.
This isn’t a fantasy. This is the Island Time Difference.
When you’re planning a BVI vacation, choosing a top-rated water taxi isn’t just a luxury—it’s the single best way to protect your most valuable asset: your time.
The “Hurry Up and Wait” Problem vs. The Island Time Solution
The public ferry is a functional service, but it’s built for mass transit, not for a seamless vacation experience. The entire process is a gamble of variables.
The Problem: Rigid schedules that don’t care if your flight is late.
The Problem: At least four different lines (land taxi, ferry ticket, ferry boarding, customs & immigration).
The Problem: Hauling your own luggage on and off boats and through terminals.
The Problem: A “one-size-fits-all” drop-off in Road Town or West End, leaving you to find another taxi.
Here’s why Island Time BVI is consistently rated as the top choice for travelers who know.
1. We Run on Your Schedule (Not Ours)
This is the most critical difference. Our service is Open Now, built around your travel plans.
Flight Delayed? No Problem. We monitor your flight status. Our drivers and captains will be waiting for you, whether you land at 1:00 PM or 9:00 PM. You will never be stranded in St. Thomas because you missed the “last boat.”
Ready to Go? So Are We. There’s no waiting for a boat to fill up or for a scheduled 5:00 PM departure. The moment you’re on board, we’re on our way.
2. The Seamless VIP Airport-to-Yacht Handoff
Our top-rated service begins the second you step out of the airport. We’ve eliminated every single pain point of the transfer.
Private Land Taxi: No shared, multi-stop vans. A private, clean, and comfortable land taxi is reserved just for you.
Luggage Handled: From the airport taxi to our boat, to your final BVI dock, our team handles your luggage.
Skip the Lines: The only “line” you’ll see is our captain waiting to welcome you aboard.
3. BVI Customs & Immigration… While You Relax
This is a game-changer. Instead of standing in a hot, crowded customs hall after a long journey, you get to relax.
With Island Time, you can clear BVI customs from the comfort of our boat. Our captain handles all the paperwork and processes your entry while you sit back with another cold drink. You’ll be the first ones cleared and on your way, while the ferry passengers are just beginning to queue up.
4. Travel in a Top-Rated, Luxury Fleet
Forget the crowded, bench-seat ferries. Our fleet of modern Axopar powerboats is the definition of comfort, safety, and style.
Comfort: Plush, forward-facing seating.
Dry & Safe: A smooth ride that keeps you and your luggage completely dry.
The Amenities: A cooler stocked with complimentary water, sodas, and our signature rum punch is waiting for you. Your vacation officially starts with us.
5. Simple, Guaranteed “Online Appointments”
We believe booking your transfer should be as relaxing as the ride itself. Our secure online appointments system makes it easy.
You can book your entire private transfer—from STT to your specific BVI destination—in just a few minutes on our website, weeks or even months in advance. You’ll receive an instant confirmation, and our team will be in touch to coordinate every detail. No stress, no “maybes”—just a guaranteed, locked-in plan.
Don’t Just Start Your Vacation. Elevate It.
The choice is simple. You can start your BVI trip stressed, tired, and racing a clock, or you can start it feeling like a VIP, with a rum punch in hand, watching the islands glide by.
Your vacation time is precious. Don’t waste the first and last hours of it in a line.
