Love City Car Ferries, Inc. is revamping the way it communicates with the general public. In the past, we posted on several social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google My Business, etc. In addition, we've posted to our company's blog. However, as a small company  with limited staff and no social media specialist, it becomes difficult to keep up with comments across multiple platforms.  Thus, in order to focus on other matters and still communicate with the general public, we have decided to limit our communication to the blog and Google My Business. So, to hear about us, subscribe to our blog and visit us online where we will post schedule changes, sales etc.

Also, beginning May 1st, 2022, all Vic Sea Miles Club customers will be given access to a private membership site where they will be first to know about matters pertaining to Love City Car Ferries, Inc. Thus, we will be able to prioritize their concerns.

Effective April 23, 2022 Love City's FaceBook and Instagram will be deleted.

In our last blog post, we spoke about the fact that Love City Car Ferries, Inc cares for its community: read more here. But today, we would like to specifically highlight our loyalty program, Vic Sea Miles Club. If you ride with us, you get perks. More importantly, if prices change, our loyal customers may not be affected at the same rate. In simple terms, when others pay more, you pay less. 

To become a Vic Sea Miles Club Member, simply complete the online form. We will send your loyalty card number via email and your physical card by mail. Once you have the number, reference it to the cashier every time you ride. If you complete 6 rides in one quarter, you will automatically receive a free ride or bonus money. At the end of the year, you may also receive gift certificates. Finally, you will be entered into our customer of the year contest, with perks such as free rides for an entire month. Don't miss out on these opportunities. Join the Vic Sea Miles Club Loyalty Program today!

September 22, 2021 is the 1st day of fall. As the seasons change, we think of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, times to slow down and focus on our loved ones. In the Caribbean, while we may not have intense changes in the seasons, we do experience cooler days and decrease day light, as we welcome the holidays.

Love City Car Ferries, Inc works tirelessly to offer service with a smile to our community. But besides that, for this upcoming season of caring, we would like to share with you 5 ways that we care for our community:

1. We honor our seniors by providing discounted rides.
2. We provide free rides to individuals who need health related treatments on St. Thomas, for which the service is not available on St. John, such as dialysis and cancer treatments.
3. We provide discounted rides to members of the clergy who reside on St. John.
4. We offer a loyalty program and give free rides and or loyalty perks.
5. We donate to  nonprofit organizations and philanthropic events.

​
We believe that a community is stronger based on the health of individual families, the camaraderie of citizens, the accountability of government and the generosity of businesses. Thus, we will continue to do what we can in the business arena. It doesn't mean our answer will always be yes, but it does mean that community first is one of our guiding principles, as we continue to operate with "a heart for the people."

Despite the challenges of 2020, we are thankful for the opportunity to serve you each and every day! May you enjoy the holidays and embrace the spirit of gratitude. 

Sea turtles are majestic creatures that sometimes live for centuries. Despite their longevity, the Caribbean sea turtle population has suffered greatly. Their size has decreased 99% and are in danger of being completely eradicated from the area.

The next generation should not have to learn what these  creatures  looked like just from pictures. We all want to leave a world for them where they may be able to  experience going to the beach at night during nesting season, and observing the baby turtles scramble to the sea after being hatched.
​
Here is how you can help according to nps.gov:

• Become a Sea Turtle Beach Patrol Volunteer.
• Never touch or chase them! By touching, chasing or riding them, visitors disturb their eating, resting and even nesting habits.
• Don't litter. Remember some turtles mistake balloons, and plastic for food.
• Don't leave deep ruts, holes or tracks in the beach. The baby sea turtles get stuck in them when they hatch attempt to reach the sea.
• Prevent light from shinning on beaches.
• Do not drive on beaches. You risk crushing eggs.
• Never disturb feeding or nesting turtles.
• Never buy or sell sea turtle products.

Did You Know?... 

1. Trunk Bay, in St. John, VI, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, got it's name from the Leatherback turtle because according to local lore, "the backs of the leatherbacks  look like  a steamer trunk floating";
2. Our most common turtles are the green, the hawksbill, and the leatherback;
3. An adult hawksbill can weigh up to 1,200 pounds;
4. Males never leave the ocean; only the females come ashore for nesting;
5. They travel long distances for foraging and nesting; some have been known to travel more than 1,200 miles.
