I was a little nervous about making the ferry to STJ considering our flight arrives at 3:00pm. Now I am very nervous because our flight is now scheduled to land at 3:50pm.

We are arriving on Tuesday 7/26. We are renting a car at the airport. We are bringing some food with us so we don't plan on stopping on STT. I see the last ferry leave at 7:00pm.

Is there anyone with experience that could let me know how long it takes from landing at the airport, to getting your car, to arriving at the ferry in Red Hook? Will we make it?

Thanks for your assistance. Now with my trip getting closer I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.

If you land on time, you will be out of the airport and on the road by 4:30, if you have someone look for the bags, while someone else gets the car. Then it will take about half an hour to Red Hook, so you should be abloe to make at least two of the car ferries over,no problem. And, in the off chance that you don't make it, you could always park the car and take the people ferry over till midnight. Then just grab a cab to your hotel and then grab one back to the ferry in the a.m. to get the car.

Have fun!

Is there a car ferry in Charlotte that takes you over to St. John?

I assume you are staying at a villa since you are bringing food, but will the agency have someone to meet you that late? I believe most post a limit of 6 PM.
