​Employees of Love City Car Ferries, Inc are, for the most part, on board the vessel. Our employees wear blue shirts. Individuals on the dock are agents of Virgin Islands Port Authority. They are the ones who line you up as you wait for the vessels; they are also the ones in the toll booth. We can not control their process nor their procedures. Please keep this in mind as you consider whether or not we have provided good service; as we are noticing negative feedback based on their actions that has nothing to do with us.

Just a friendly reminder that Love City Car Ferries, Inc via the M/V Capt Vic's is operating its full Virgin Islands Port Authority approved schedule. We use our social media platforms to post any changes due to mechanical issues etc. and to keep you informed about what is going on with us. Unless changes are posted one can assume we are operating this schedule. To stay up to date about what we are doing, follow us on FaceBook, Twitter (@VICarFerry) and Instagram (VICarFerry.

Wishing you and your loved ones all the blessings of Christmas and the holiday season and peace and prosperity for the New Year.

Love City Car Ferries, Inc.

Those old fashioned telephone booths don't exist anymore, at least not in the Virgin Islands. But after the hurricanes, we sure wish they were on every street corner. Thank God for cell phone towers, even though they were on and off most days.

Well the dark ages are soon over; I know, I exaggerate. But the point I am making is that Love City Car Ferries, Inc office phone is functional again! Hip Hip Hooray!!!! Call us if you need us and even if you just want to say hi. If we don't answer, leave a message and we'll be happy to get back with you. 340-779-4000

Love City Car Ferries, Inc. thanks all customers, vendors, and supporters for partnering with us for the last 20 years.

St. John is a small beautiful island located in the Caribbean Sea. It is part of the United States Virgin Islands. When visiting St. John, you will arrive by passenger/car ferry. Below are some pics of the Enighed Pond port where the car ferries dock. However, once you offload where are you? Additional pics represented below will help you figure some of this out. Have fun on St. John and thanks for visiting this page.

• The US Virgin Islands are 1,650 miles from New York and 600 miles from Miami; many arrive to America's Paradise via cruise ships. Usually, cruise ship visitors don't have the time to visit the island of St. John. As such visitors to St. John usually get to the US Virgin Islands by air. For those visiting the US Virgin Islands by air with the intention of getting to St. John, here are some tidbits you ought to know:

1. US Virgin Islands has 2 major airports, Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas and the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix,
2. If visiting St. John use the Cyril E. King Airport (STT),
3. St. John, Virgin Islands has no airports,
4. Airlines with direct domestic flights to and from major continental American cities are: Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Spirit Airlines, American Airlines, and Jet Blue,
5. To get to St. John from St. Thomas you can use private charter boat, passenger ferry or car ferry,
6. You have to go through Customs and Immigration when returning to the continental USA,
7. If you are a US Citizen, no passports are required to get to the US Virgin Islands from the continental USA.

Love City Car Ferries, Inc. offers 7 round trip car ferry rides to the island of St. John. You can book online. We require 3 days advance booking for all reservations. For directions from the Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas to the Red Hook Docks, see here; but also do your research. Reservation tickets are not transferable on the first leg of the trip, so be sure to board either the M/V Capt Vic or the M/V Island Vic only. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns. See you on board:)
PS. The uniformed personnel on the docks are usually employed by the Virgin Islands Port Authority or its agents. Car ferry services are paid on board the vessel only.

This has been an eventful year in the car ferry industry in the United States Virgin Islands. We have had and continue to have our trials. Nevertheless, we are thankful and grateful to you our customers, vendors, and patrons.

When you come on board the M/V Capt Vic or the M/V Island Vic, you will first park your vehicle. Then we ask that you seek out the cashier, before exiting the vehicle, in order to pay for the service you are about to receive. You do not, however, have to stay in your vehicle during the duration of the car ferry ride. Both vessels have a lounge where you can sit and relax. The M/V Island Vic's passenger seating is larger than the M/V Capt Vic's. Either way the choice is yours.

There is so much to see as you traverse Pillsbury Sound, the waterway that separates St. Thomas and St. John. In addition to observing the beautiful turquoise Caribbean waters you might just spot a dolphin and other beautiful sea creatures. Also, the birds are always flying about the vessel and are a great back drop to photographs, not to mention the sunsets and sunrises are picturesque. In addition, pay attention to the smaller cays such as Lovango, Congo, Mingo, Grassy and Thatch Cays which are to the north. While on the south you can find Great and Little St. James, Dog Island and Dog Rocks. Where else can you find such natural beauty? So, while you are free to stay in your car, you are also free to exit it and enjoy the scenery.

Disclaimer: For your own safety we ask that you follow the directives of the crew and the directions of any posted signage.

Yesterday was hectic for everyone, with M/V Capt. Vic having to go through its regularly scheduled annual United States Coast Guard Inspection. As a result, the vessel was down for most of the day. However we worked closely with the Coast Guard and thankfully the vessel is in full service today.

We understand that without the M/V Capt Vic, the congestion, especially in Red Hook was horrendous. Today is going to be different because both the M/V Capt Vic and the M/V Island Vic are operational and will be able to handle the flow of traffic.

Thanks for your understanding and see you on board.

At times it can be confusing when trying to find the departure terminal for car ferries going to St. John from Red Hook, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. These satellite images can help. Take a closer look before you begin your adventure to Red Hook.
The following are noteworthy:
1. Passenger and car ferry departures are both in Red Hook.
2. Passengers leave from the Urman Victor Fredericks Marine Facility
3. Big landmarks in Red Hook that are helpful in finding the car ferry dock are the American Yacht Harbor and the pond. Red Hook Road runs by both of these landmarks.
4. Red Hook Road is route 32.
5. If you are coming from Smith Bay you will pass the pond on your left and the car ferry entrance will be your first left after the pond.

This being said, just use your intuition, and any devices such as maps, etc. Also don't be afraid to ask questions. Once you are in Red Hook, it is almost impossible to miss the departure terminals to St. John. We look forward to seeing you on board.

One of the most frequently asked question is whether or not passengers have to stay in their vehicle once they have boarded Love City Car Ferries' vessels for a ride between St. Thomas and St. John. The simple answer is no. Once on board, you are free to exit your vehicles and walk around.

We would caution you, however, to keep safety in mind. Prior to departure, other vehicles are still boarding. So if you have small children it is imperative that you pay attention to their whereabouts and treat the deck of the car ferry as you would any other thoroughfare where cars are in motion. When the vessel has departed cars are no longer in motion but at the same time the vessel is, so still be careful. Pay attention to all signs because there are places on board that passengers are not allowed.

Love City Car Ferries' M/V Island Vic has a lounge area where you can sit back and enjoy the sea breeze and the views. Our other vessel the M/V Capt Vic has a small seating area around the house, on the second level. So use your sea legs, especially if the waves are rough, meaning walk slowly and with a steady gate. Enjoy the ride and if you are the least bit hesitant you can always wait comfortably in your vehicle.

We receive many frantic calls from first time riders who are eager to board the vessel, but forgot to make a reservation. Many of you wonder “Do I have to make a reservation to ride the car ferry?” This leaves many of you confused as to whether or not you will still be able to get a ride on the boat. Reservations are recommended to lock in your spot and the captain will hold a place for you; but if you forget to make a reservation no fear because 90% of our customers do not make reservations and most people ride the boat first come first served.
