Does anyone know of a Catamaran excursion that leaves from Crown Bay? We will be on the Ruby in April and can only find ones that leave from Red Hook. OR could you suggest a cheaper way to get to Red Hook than the 10 - 12$ cab ride. There are 6 of us so it can get costly. thanks
Are you married to the idea of a catamaran? With 6 people, you could basically have a sailboat all to yourselves!
There are boats that will pick up in Crown Bay -- I doubt any of them will travel to ST John - [unless they are power vessels] - the distance from downtown STT to STJ is quite a sail - and generally upwind and often rough - most of the vessels working out of Charlotte Amalie and Crown Bay go to Buck Island - Turtle Cove or maybe as far as Great St James. -- That is why most people go to Red Hook to take a sail to STJ - it is much closer!
With 6 people you could probably rent a car and park it in Red Hook for the day for a lot less than -------- 6 X $12 there and the same back.
Sea Chateau is a catamaran based out of Crown Bay. They will take you to St John, or to the BVI's for that matter. From what I've seen it's a very clean operation, and the owners are very nice people. Have heard all good things about them.

Thanks for the replies. I will check a few things out.
Heavenly Days is another catamaran that picks up at the Crown Bay dock and goes to St. John. Here is their website: http://www.bolongobay.com/heavenlydays.htm.
