Where this comes from
Ferry and barge times and fares are copied from the Virgin Islands Port Authority ferry and cargo schedule page and its posted off-season notice. The schedule was transcribed on Sun, Oct 11, and those web pages were last checked on Sun, Oct 11; this is not operator confirmation. Source page does not state a revision date. The off-season notice runs through October 31, 2026. Any later return to the regular timetable is labeled as an assumed transition. Tides are NOAA predictions. Weather and alerts are from the National Weather Service. Sunrise and sunset are calculated. Tell us about a mistake.
