• St. Thomas/St. John - Car Barge

  St. Thomas - St. John Car Barge

  Car Barges operate between St. Thomas (Red Hook) and St. John (Enighed Pond). Drivers and passengers ride with the vehicle. Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure, more if traveling during peak time, see tip below.

  August 2018: Allow plenty of time to catch the car barge if traveling during peak morning and late afternoon runs. Due to an increase demand by large work trucks, and the availability of only one car barge, the wait time has become inconsistent. A Monday afternoon 2pm barge from St. John to St. Thomas might have no wait; a mid-morning 10am barge might not have a line of cars, but it might fill up with work trucks; and the Friday late afternoon barges from St. Thomas to St. John might have a line of cars waiting for 2+ hours to board.
