Due to the impending tropical storm, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) will be closing ports in the United States Virgin Islands to ferry traffic. As a consequence, Love City Car Ferries, Inc’s vessels will not be in service on Sunday, August 15, 2021.  USCG will perform a safety assessment after the storm passes. We will resume service subsequently.

If you have a reservation, it can be rescheduled or fully refunded. Let us know your preference by emailing us. Keep in mind that the office is closed on the weekends and it will take 1-3 business days to process.  

You can stay up to date with changes in our schedule by downloading our App or subscribing to this blog. Thank you for your time and stay safe, God bless!

The above schedule is in effect until further notice. Grand Vic is on the run. Capt Vic is prepping for its bi-annual Coast Guard inspection and thus will be off the run until further notice. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

At times Love City Car Ferries may have to do an extra trip beyond our last scheduled departure from either island. This is often due to return ticket holders from other companies along with Love City customers needing to return simultaneously and thus exceeding our maximum capacity. If you are a ticketed passenger, it is our duty to ensure, to the best of our ability, that you are returned to your port. If you have an unused return ticket you would simply turn in your yellow return ticket, at no additional cost to you. However, for passengers without a Love City Car Ferries, Inc. ticket,  the fare will be $75 for one way trips beyond the last departures from both islands: 6:15 PM from St. John and at 7:00 PM from St. Thomas. This rate is for standard sized vehicles less than 3 tons. If there are any questions regarding after hour rates for other types of vehicles,  please give us a call at 340-779-4000. Round trip tickets can not be sold after hours. Thank you for your understanding.

The docks are controlled by the Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) and their agents. Once you arrive, you must pay a toll at VIPA’s toll both. After the toll is paid, you are allowed to enter the gate to access the dock.

Just like the airlines do not control the functions of TSA neither do we control the functions of VIPA. Your reservations are honored once you are in the gate before your departure time. If you are in a long line at TSA, the airlines can’t be blamed if you miss your flight. TSA is not within their control. Similarly, if you are in a long line with VIPA, that is not within our control and we shouldn’t be blamed if you miss your departure.

Our recommendation is for you to arrive early and to make sure you tell the person directing you which company you are booked for. Once you are in the gate on time, your reservation will be honored. If you missed your reserved departure, we will honor your booking on the next available trip, on a first come first served basis.

​Our vessels are the Capt Vic or the Grand Vic. They are black and white and the names of the vessels are on the boats. Please be sure to board the correct vessel because other companies use the same docks and they will not honor our reservation.

​Again, as a reminder, the individuals on the dock do not work for Love City Car Ferries, Inc. They are instead agents of the Virgin Islands Government via its agency, VIPA

Hey folks, just a friendly reminder that Love City Car Ferries, Inc operates only the Vic branded car ferries, which are black and white vessels with Vic in  its name.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Born Anna Elizabeth Ulricka Heegaard in St. Croix, Danish West indies in 1790, she was the mistress of Governor Peter Van Scholten, who emancipated the slaves in 1848. Which begs the question of why this woman of ill repute should be featured? The short answer is that she used her wiles and wit for the betterment of both free colored people and enslaved people in the Danish West Indies.  

Heegaard herself was a free colored woman. During her 20 year relationship with the Governor, at a time when interracial relationships were taboo and women had little or no rights, Heegaard petitioned for social justice reforms for free colored and enslaved blacks. For the slaves she fought for:

• regulated work days,
• banning of public slave auctions,
• improved housing,
• establishment of schools,
• reprieve for pregnant women.

For the free colored population, she was able to secure the banishment of freedom papers. Which meant that it was no longer mandated that the free colored must carry papers to prove that they were indeed free.

Some say that Heegaard's relationship with Von Scholten prompted him to make the  decision to free the slaves. Others say he was forced to do so due to the intensity of the organized slave revolts. Ultimately however, Anna Heegaard, this little known free colored woman did what she could to help her people.
