Dear Beloved Community,
     We hope that our note finds you well and practicing social distancing to the best of your capacity. We understand that COVID-19 is currently a pandemic that can threaten our health and infrastructure. As Virgin Islanders, we would like to do our best to “flatten the curve” and slow the spread of this virus in our area. We hope that you will join us in doing so. We will remain in operation insofar as the ports are open because we are well aware of the critical importance of car ferries in providing food, fuel, water, etc to residents of St. John. 
     The health of our community is dependent on our willingness to act in the interest of the whole. Therefore we are all tasked with the following:  

1. Our passenger lounge on the M/V Grand Vic is closed until further notice. Refreshments are still available for purchase, a crew member can assist you.
2. Access to the wheelhouse is strictly off limits to anyone except crew. 
3. Please remain in your vehicle while riding the vessel. We will not stop you from exiting your vehicle, but you assume the risk. 
4. If you are canceling a trip to the territory, call our office during business hours and/or send us an email. We are happy to process your refund and look forward to seeing you on any trips that you may take to STT/STJ in the future. 
5. Please follow our social media pages for updates. We may abridge our schedule in the near future. 

In love and solidarity always, 

The Love City Car Ferries Family

Airlines are slashing flights by 40-50% of their capacity. In addition, they are canceling currently scheduled flights. As a result, we are well aware that many of our reservation customers may be affected. Rest assured that Love City Car Ferries, Inc will provide full refunds to those affected. However, give us at least 3 business days because we are inundated with requests. Thank you for your time and understanding. Stay safe. #covid_19 #lovecitycarferries

How do you catch a car ferry in the United States Virgin islands? It is easier than you think. Below are tips that can help you.

1. If you are not a resident and you are not familiar with the landscape, you may first have to get a local map of the island so that you can find the docks. 
2. Book online. Bookings must be made at least one day prior to departure.
3. During regular times, arrive to the docks 10-15 minutes before departure time.  If you arrive sooner, you may not catch the ferry you booked, especially since different companies use the same dock.  Love City Car Ferries, Inc. has black and white car ferries and the sailors wear blue shirts.  The vessels are the M/V  Capt. Vic and the M/V Grand Vic. 
4. During high traffic times, arrive 20-30 minutes before departure time. Check our facebook page for current information.
5. When you arrive at the dock in Red Hook, you will be greeted by a Virgin Islands Port Authority official who will collect a small government toll. Once you pay the toll, let them know you have a reservation. It will help them direct you where to line up.
6. Be prepared to reverse onto the vessel.  It is best to keep your windows rolled down so that you can hear the instructions of the crew member who is guiding you on board.  Once parked, engage your safety break and wait for the cashier to process your ticket.
7. After your ticket is processed, you are free to exit your vehicle and enjoy the views of Pillsbury Sound, the waterway between St. Thomas and St. John. If you are on the M/V Grand Vic, we also have a lounge that serves refreshments.

See you on board!

To our lovely customer: Happy Valentine’s Day! You are the reason for our existence and we love to serve you!

Every year in the month of February, America, United Kingdom, and Canada, celebrate the contributions of Blacks to their respective histories. For America, we’ve been celebrating Black History Month since 1976, as a result of the activism of Carter G. Woodson, Jesse Moreland and others. February was chosen as an acknowledgment of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas. Throughout the remainder of the month we will share some little known facts about black history. Today, we decided to share a list of inventions by black inventors:

• Air Conditioner Unit, Frederick M. Jones, 1949
• Almanac, Benjamin Banneker, 1791
• Blood Plasma Bag, Charles Drew, 1945
• Clothes Dryer, George T. Sampson, 1971
• Baby Buggy, William H. Richardson, 1889
• Elevator, Alexander Miles, 1867
• Fire Extinguisher, Thomas Marshall, 1872
• Gas Mask, Garret Morgan, 1914
• Golf Tee, George T. Grant, 1899
• Auto Cut-Off Switch, Granville T. Woods, 1839

Above are just a few black inventors. Keep in mind that many of the things you use today that make your life considerably more enjoyable was invented by a black person. What is especially telling is that many of these individuals did not benefit financially from their inventions due to the twin blade of slavery and discrimination. In fact, some did not even receive credit for their inventions. Despite this, their contributions are still with us today.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day 2020. As we celebrate this great man and his legacy let us remember that we are equally responsible for any injustice that exists in our community. Silence is no excuse. Also let us continue to strive for equality and justice for all. The idealism of his legacy is still as important today as it was during his life. Have a wonderful MLK Day.

Love City Car Ferries, Inc incorporated in August of 1997 and was the first to provide several services to VI residents and visitors. From our first day of service, our tickets never expired. In 2007, we first published our web site under the domain onlinebookinglovecitycarferries.com. Therefore, from 2007 we offered online reservations. Eventually our booking engine was updated in 2013. Given this, we have been offering credit card payments since 2007. Anyone can pay online or on the vessel. Love City Car Ferries, Inc. has always been a leader and trend setter in the VI car ferry industry.
