When the ferries sometimes stick to a schedule, that will work.

When we have newbie guests flying into St. Thomas, we have them arrange a pick-up at the airport with Kevin Campbell and let him get them where they need to be.

Day visitors are allowed to use the pool at Scrub Island?

For a "resort fee" I believe.

When it comes to Taxis and St. Thomas - Kevin Campbell is a RockStar at arriving and departing STT. He is very knowledgeable with all things local. Punctual, honest, and always has a hilarious story in his back pocket.

Correct on the resort fee...or a well placed under the counter slide. Also they have a card that they give you. if you loose the card they will charge you 25$.
