Ferry to JVD
Ferry to JVD
I have taken the ferry to JVD once and that was years ago. I know its not recommended to buy round trip ferry tickets for RH to CB. Is it ok to buy round trip tickets for CB to JVD? Or only buy one ways? Thanks for any info.
Re: Ferry to JVD
Hey bchbum82! I think we were on that JVD ferry ride with you! 2009?
Our tickets then were round trip. I do not recall hearing that one way to JVD is better or advised.
Have a fun time!

We have always done RT to Jost. Heard the BVI customs fee went up, so mybe a rate increase?

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I don't remember Iprof if you were with us or not. I remember it was my wife and I and 2 other couples. I remember the 6 of us decided to walk instead of taxi to White Bay and we kept waving on the taxis that would stop and ask if we wanted a ride. Ya that was one of the worst decisions in my life. HaHa.

Re: Ferry to JVD
We took the inter-island ferry from CB to JVD less than 2 weeks ago, you pay a total of 75.00 departing CB and a departure tax on JVD of 15.00 returning! This caught us off guard, I think if you have a group of people going over, for a few more bucks you can charter a private boat and go where ever you want for the day...
Re: Ferry to JVD
Is that departure tax $15pp? In the past, when we have taken the ferry, that was included in the fare.

Re: Ferry to JVD
The BVI website states that its $5/pp if your a boat passenger. I wonder how they're getting away charging $15?
Re: Ferry to JVD
I have gone to Jost on a private boat and the customs fees were MUCH less! I was surprised.(No, I am not crazy, I sat in the customs office until the employee got back from her break or whatever) And, I don't mean a private charter or ferry. Island owners. But, still interesting to know if the ferry fees will go up more or if that will be a charge when leaving Jost...
