The Ports Authority noted that Per request from International Ferry Operators, the international ferry passenger schedule between the Virgin Islands and the US Virgin Islands has been adjusted for the period starting November 1, 2021, up until January 31, 2022, due to increased bookings.

“There will be an additional daily international round-trip service, thus increasing it to three daily round-trip ferry services for this period. The maximum capacity will remain at 65 passengers per trip,” BVIPA noted.

The Ports Authority also noted that Ferry passengers arriving and departing the Virgin Islands must reserve a ticket with the scheduled ferry operator through their booking portal.

The new international ferry passenger schedule is as follows:
