St. John – St. Thomas Car Barge Schedules

Traveling between St. Thomas and St. John is possible with your car! A car ferry, or car barge, takes cars between St. Thomas and St. John! The driver and passengers ride along with the vehicle too. Three companies currently offer daily service between Enighed Pond, St. John and Red Hook, St. Thomas for vehicles.

A few things that are worth noting about the St. John Car Barge: First, a port fee is collected by the Virgin Islands government at a designated booth just before entering the car barge loading area in Red Hook, St. Thomas. It is $3 per car, small SUV, or motorcycle, and $4 per truck, van, or large SUV. This port fee is separate from the fare for taking the car barge.

Next, the fare for the car barge is paid once on the actual barge. Tickets can be purchased for a one-way trip, or a round-trip fare. Tickets are not interchangeable between the three car barge companies. If you purchase a round-trip ticket, it is only good for the barge that issued it.

Third, the Red Hook ferry location services both passenger ferries and car ferries, but there are two separate docking areas for each type of ferry, with separate well-marked entrances. Finally, its a good idea to arrive at least 45 minutes before the car barge departure time you hope to catch. Read more about taking the Car Barge
