AA just screwed up out flight from SEA-EIS, but a really nice supervisor re routed us to STT, getting in @1:50pm and keeping our first class upgrades. Anyone have experience with Air Sunshine STT-EIS. My hubby is not fond of the ferry service and quality of the equipment they have. (Speedy's exception). Thinking of just flying over to EIS.

How far out are you? If within a week, Cape Air tends to lower the price to EIS to $100/ticket. That would be a preferred option, in my book.

We are July 23. No hurry to ticket it, just looking at options. Thanks for the heads up on CapeAir.

According to their website the Cape Air STT-EIS is a seasonal flight, and not operating during our timeframe. Too bad, will continue to look at other options.
Anyone have any input on the Tortola Fast Ferry? Looks like we would be on that one.

Tortola Fast Ferry = Smith's = Bomba Charger. Your husband will jump overboard <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/titanic.gif" alt="" />
If anything, take the Road Town Fast Ferry, which has the same kind of Cats as Speedy's.

Bite the bullet Rita and take the ferry..they do seem to have become more reliable especially Native Son running their big, fast Express boat..Smith's is running the Bomba Charger still of course..

Just take the next boat leaving... which always seems to be the Bomba Charger... LOL... always my fate! last time I remember trying to fight it... even had pre-purchased tickets on Speedy's... I said... ah... I see our boat is late no problem we will get a drink upstairs... no sir
your boat is right there... no it's not... that's the charger... yes sir, speedy's boat is in the US... we have the duct tape seat by the leaky ac window unit dripping and blowing hot air all ready for you sir!!!
Everytime! It is how I know I'm not dreaming and really on my way to paradise!

That thing was old in 1984 when I first rode it. To be fair, it has always gotten me where I wanted to go.
