How to take the Ferry From St. Thomas to Water Island
🌸 Step 1: Choose a departure time. Visit the Ferry Schedule for more information, ticket prices and schedule.
✨ Step 2: Get to Crown Bay Marina. Arrive at least 10 minutes before departure. You are likely heading to the Water Island ferry from the airport, cruise ship dock or your hotel. You can take a taxi, rent a car, or use public transportation. If you are on a cruise ship and docked at the Crown Bay Cruise Ship dock, then you can walk to the Crown Bay Marina to catch the ferry - it’s about a 10 minute walk through the cruise area’s shops and then through the Marina. If you are driving yourself, there are several parking lots at the Marina - most are designated for customers of the shops and restaurant and have time limits; some are for boat owners. The very first lot on the right hand side, when you enter, is typically designated for general use. If in doubt, look at the parking lot signs.
☀️ Step 3: Waiting Area: At Crown Bay Marina, look for Tickles Restaurant; the ferry to Water Island docks right in front of the restaurant. There is no terminal. You can stand next to the ferry boat until the captain indicates it’s time to board. If you are early, you can grab a drink at the restaurant and sit in their outdoor chairs near the ferry until boarding time.
🌴 Step 4: Board and purchase ticket. The captain indicates when it’s time to board; you purchase your ticket from the captain once on board. You can buy one way or round trip. Credit cards are not accepted; cash only.
Step 5: Enjoy the short ride, it’s just 10 minutes. Arrival is at Phillip’s Landing on Water Island. If you are visiting for the day, you are likely headed to Honeymoon Beach, which is a short walk from the ferry dock. If you are staying on Water Island, the representative from your vacation rental will meet you at the ferry. Sometimes there is a small shuttle from one of the vacation rentals that will give people a ride to their destination for a small charge. You can also rent a golf cart and explore on your own.

Liked the tips like renting the golf cart at the dock, we're going in a week and it's that sort of information that really helps. Looks like you had fun, wonder what happened at Honey Moon Beach ;)

[@MIWTM]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes the Golf cart makes it so easy to explore. Someone drowned, an elderly person. 😔

Those circle concrete bases were for gun turrets. The fort was not finished. Nice video. We have a house on the east end Sprat Bay private side.
