We are arriving STT at 4:10 on an AA flight from Miami. We will have checked luggage. It is a heavy cruise ship day on STT. We would prefer to be on STJ before 6 to get the jeep. Which is our best ferry option? Will we be able to catch the Redhook at 5 pm? Does the 5:30 CA arrive at about the same time as the Redhook 6:00? I guess my best bet is to contact the Jeep rental and have them deliver the keys to the Caribbean Villas. That way I can start to relax once we are on the plane.

I really, really doubt you will make the 5pm ferry from Red Hook - we just had friends arrive with carry on luggage only on the USAir flight that arrives at 4:10pm and they had a private taxi and still missed the 5pm by about 3 mins due to cruise ship traffic and road construction 🙁

The 5:30pm CA ferry will arrive at approx 6pm (anywhere from 6pm to 6:10pm) as it is now a fast ferry 🙂 The 6pm Red Hook will arrive at 6:20pm.

Make arrangements for your keys to be picked up and all is well 🙂

Thanks Pia, even if there was a chance to make it I think that I could use one less worry on our way to island time.

I will be arriving in St. thomas on Nov. 27th and will be staying for a few days. I plan to visit Water Island while I am there. Is it possible to rent a golf cart for transportation while on the island?

Felicia, I responded to your other post and the answer is the same. It is unlikely you will be able to rent transporation on Water Island. Wear comfortable shoes. And, it is likely someone may give you a ride along the way.
