Ferry or water taxi? A charter broker breaks down the two main options for crossing from St Thomas, USVI to the BVI — with real pricing, logistics, and insider tips. 🚢 FERRY (~$100 return per person) • The most common option — 3-4 companies rotate different days • Three main crossings: morning, midday & afternoon • Picks up from Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas • Drops off in Road Town or West End, Tortola • A bit complicated with multiple operators and schedules 🚤 WATER TAXI (~$800 + $50–60/person BVI clearance fees, one way) • Premium but worth it — hop on board, get a fresh drink • Cruise straight across at speed, way faster than the ferry • They go through customs daily so clearance is smooth and easy • Drop you directly at your charter yacht — no waiting around • More expensive but definitely faster and easier 📖 Full guide — Start in St Thomas or BVI? https://mybvicharter.com/bvi-yacht-charter-start-usvi-or-bvi/ 🔍 Search BVI Charter Yachts: https://mybvicharter.com/bvi-crewed-yacht-charter-search/ 🌴 Plan Your BVI Yacht Charter: https://mybvicharter.com/ ⚓ DMA Yachting — Charter Experts Since 2005: https://dmayachting.com/ https://mybvicharter.com/ https://mygreekcharter.com/ https://mycroatiacharter.com/ https://bahamasmotoryachts.com/ https://mymallorcacharter.com/ https://mycorsicacharter.com/ https://myturkishcharter.com/ https://charterguru.com/

This is a super cool and comfortable day cruiser. There are 615 hours on the Volvo Penta 8.1Gxi 496ci 425hp duoprop engine package which has just had a recent service with us this spring and is running great. The interior is in great shape with snap out carpets, and a full canvas enclosure so you can be boating in all the weather. There’s a 4 speaker stereo with subwoofer, plus 2 tower speakers and a Bluetooth stereo. There’s a fridge freezer and sink above deck and a microwave below. Also comes with a BBQ which mounts on the swim platform. There is a good battery system with 2 x 6V house batteries which run an inverter, and 2 x 12V starting batteries for the motor. The head is a Vacuflush system which means there’s no pumping to flush the toilet and it uses very little water which increases your capacity in the tank. There’s a DVD / TV setup below deck, and the V berth is a nice size and in hardly used condition. Comes on the tandem axle trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes. Moorage space at Shuswap Marina is still available for the 2026 season! Drop by @shuswapmarina today to check it out! This is a consignment sale, no trades, thanks!

Few liveaboards run trips to Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago — and even fewer do it in the style of The Phinisi. Step aboard our traditional Indonesian vessel as she sails one of Southeast Asia's last great frontier diving destinations: 800+ remote islands, untouched reefs, and dive sites most divers will never tick off their list. This is what makes Mergui different. No crowds. No queues at the mooring lines. Just manta's at Black Rock, schooling barracuda at Shark Cave, and the kind of pristine hard coral cover that's becoming harder to find anywhere in the region. Topside, you'll visit the Moken sea-gypsies, anchor in empty bays, and watch epic sunsets from the deck with a cold drink in hand. This is diving's final frontier... 🌐 Trip details & availability: https://thejunk.com/liveaboard-diving-in-myanmar/ 📧 Enquiries: info@thejunk.com 📸 Follow the journey: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheJunkLiveaboards Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/The.Junk.Thailand Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejunk_liveaboards/
