Prince Taxi & Tours St.Thomas Airport transfer to Redhook Ferry
Catching the ferry starts before the dock. Prince Taxi and Tours offers a private airport transfer from St. Thomas airport to the St. John’s Ferry Service terminal in Red Hook, with a driver holding your name sign outside the airport. I like the direct airport pickup and the fact that the ride is private for your group, not shared with strangers. I also like the clear group price of $180 for up to six people. The main drawback is value: for one or two people, that flat fee can feel high for a ride listed at about 45 minutes.
Communication is meant to be simple. The company says it already has your contact information and will stay in touch, while the driver arrives with a sign showing your name. Prince Amir has also been praised for punctual pickups, clean vehicles, and quick service. Still, you should remember that this is a transfer, not an island sightseeing tour, so the main benefit is getting to Red Hook with less fuss.

From St. Thomas airport to the Red Hook ferry
This service is built around one important travel problem: arriving in St. Thomas and making your way to the ferry terminal without having to sort out a ride on the spot. Your pickup begins at the airport, and the destination is the St. John’s Ferry Service terminal at the Urman Victor Fredericks Marine Terminal in Red Hook.
The listed journey takes about 45 minutes. That is an estimate, not a guarantee, so I would use it as a planning guide rather than a promise of an exact arrival time. Your ferry departure time still deserves careful attention, since the transfer service does not include the ferry itself.
The route has a practical purpose. Red Hook is the departure point named for the St. John’s Ferry Service, and the transfer is designed to put you at that terminal. There are no listed sightseeing stops, scenic detours, or guided commentary. If you want an island tour, downtown stops, or extra rides, you would need to arrange those separately with the company.
That simple format can be a strength. After a flight, I would rather have one clear destination and a driver who knows to look for my name than negotiate a ride while handling bags and watching the clock. The ride also avoids the uncertainty of finding a vehicle at the airport on your own.

Finding your driver outside the airport
![]()
The meeting plan is one of the most useful details here. The driver is supposed to wait outside the airport with a sign showing your name. That gives you a visible marker in a busy arrival area and removes much of the guesswork that can come with a first airport pickup.
The company says it will have your contact information and communicate with you directly. Keep your phone available after landing so you can receive messages or calls. I would also make sure the number used for booking can work in the US Virgin Islands, since the pickup depends on easy contact.
Prince Amir’s service is especially relevant here. He has been praised for being on time and for meeting a party at the airport with names displayed on a sign. That small touch matters more than it may seem. A driver who can identify you quickly helps you move from baggage claim to the vehicle without a long search.
The information does not specify an exact meeting zone, terminal door, waiting time, or procedure for delayed flights. For that reason, I would confirm the pickup instructions before departure and provide your flight details if the booking process allows it. Those are sensible precautions whenever airport timing is involved, even with a private service.
What the 45-minute ride means for your plans
![]()
A listed duration of about 45 minutes is useful when you plan your ferry connection. It gives you a basic time frame from the airport to Red Hook, but you should leave room for factors not covered in the service description. The exact ride time can vary, and the information provided does not promise a fixed arrival time.
I would avoid booking a ferry connection so tight that a small delay causes trouble. The transfer operator controls the vehicle, but you control the ferry reservation, and those are separate parts of the journey. A little extra time at Red Hook is far less stressful than watching a ferry depart while you are still on the road.
The destination is specific: St. John’s Ferry Service at the Urman Victor Fredericks Marine Terminal, 85G2+F4P, Route 32, Red Hook, St. Thomas 00802. Having the full terminal name and address is helpful because Red Hook is a working ferry area with more than one possible point of interest.
This is also why the service makes sense for people carrying luggage or moving on to St. John. You are not asking a driver to improvise a sightseeing route. You are paying for a direct handoff between two important parts of your trip.
Vehicle comfort and the private-group setup
![]()
The included vehicle is air-conditioned. In St. Thomas, that is not a minor detail, especially after a flight or when you have luggage with you. The information does not identify a specific vehicle model, but the service describes its cars as luxurious, and Prince Amir has received praise for clean vehicles and impressive cars.
It is wise to keep expectations grounded. The exact vehicle is not guaranteed in the details provided, and there is no stated luggage limit. If you are carrying unusually large bags, sports gear, or equipment, ask about space before you book. For ordinary airport luggage, the group size limit is the key point to consider.
Only your group participates in the ride. That private format gives you more control than a shared shuttle. You do not need to wait for unrelated airport pickups or hotel drop-offs, and you can keep the trip focused on reaching the ferry terminal.
The capacity is up to six people per group. That makes this service particularly attractive for families, wedding parties, and friends arriving together. It also removes the need to split into multiple vehicles, assuming your luggage fits comfortably.
For a solo passenger, the same private setup may be less appealing financially. The price does not appear to drop with a smaller party, so the cost per person rises sharply when only one or two people ride.

Is $180 a good value?
![]()
The price is $180 per group of up to six people. The easiest way to judge it is by group size:
- One person: $180 per person
- Two people: $90 per person
- Three people: $60 per person
- Four people: $45 per person
- Five people: $36 per person
- Six people: $30 per person
For six people, the price looks much more reasonable because you are dividing one private vehicle among the whole party. For a couple, it becomes a convenience purchase rather than a bargain. You are paying for a reserved airport pickup, private transportation, air conditioning, and a driver who is expected to meet you by name.
I like that the cost is presented per group instead of leaving you to guess how many seats or bags affect the final bill. Still, the provided information does not say whether tolls, ferry tickets, gratuity, or extra stops are included. Alcoholic beverages are specifically excluded, though that should not matter for a direct airport transfer.
The best value comes when your group wants a private ride and has a ferry to catch. If you are alone and focused only on the lowest price, you may want to compare other transport choices before committing. The service earns its price through convenience and coordination, not through a long list of included activities.
Service quality from Prince Amir
![]()
Prince Amir is the named driver connected with the strongest praise in the supplied comments. The recurring themes are punctuality, honesty, clean vehicles, and quick service. One person used him repeatedly for rides during a honeymoon, which suggests the experience extended beyond one airport pickup.
Another account describes an airport-to-resort ride where Amir arrived on time with a sign showing the names of the party. That detail lines up with the stated pickup plan for this Red Hook transfer. It gives you a useful expectation: look for a sign outside the airport rather than assuming the driver will recognize you from your luggage.
Prince Taxi and Tours also provides more than airport transportation. The comments refer to rides downtown and an island tour, but those services should not be confused with this booking. The Red Hook experience is a point-to-point transfer. If you want to add an island tour or another ride, ask the company about separate arrangements rather than assuming they are part of the $180 price.
The available rating record is small, with three reviews and a five-star overall rating. That is encouraging, but it is not a large enough sample to predict every pickup. I would treat the praise as a useful sign of service style, while still confirming your details and keeping your phone ready.
Who should book this transfer?
![]()
I would consider this service a good fit for:
- A group of up to six people arriving at St. Thomas airport together
- Families who want a private vehicle instead of coordinating several rides
- Couples who place a high value on a named airport pickup
- Anyone connecting from the airport to the Red Hook ferry terminal
- People who prefer air conditioning and a prearranged ride after a flight
- Groups carrying enough luggage that a simple, direct transfer is useful
The service may be less appealing if you are traveling alone and only want the cheapest possible ride. It may also not suit you if you expect sightseeing, a guide, or multiple stops, since none of those features are included in the stated airport-to-ferry service.
Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. The information also says most people can participate. Those details make the transfer broadly accessible, though the vehicle’s exact accessibility features are not specified. If you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or special loading help, ask before booking.
Booking and cancellation details
![]()
Confirmation is received at the time of booking, and the ticket is mobile, so you can keep the booking on your phone rather than carry a printed voucher. Pickup is offered from the airport, with communication handled using the contact information supplied during booking.
Free cancellation applies when you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. That earns you a full refund. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes made within that same period are not accepted.
The cut-off follows local time in St. Thomas. I would check the start time carefully, especially if your flight schedule changes. If you need to adjust the booking, do it early rather than waiting until the day of arrival.

Should you book Prince Taxi and Tours?
I would book this transfer if you are arriving at St. Thomas airport with a group and need a clean, private ride to the Red Hook ferry. The named airport pickup, direct destination, air-conditioned vehicle, and reports of punctual service from Prince Amir address the main worries of this connection.
The value improves greatly with four to six people. For one or two people, the $180 charge is harder to justify unless you place a high value on privacy and advance planning. Confirm your pickup details, keep your phone available, and allow extra time before your ferry.
Book it for a straightforward airport-to-dock transfer. Do not book it expecting an island tour, a guide, or a full day of sightseeing.
