Timetable effective November 1, 2026. Published schedule dates: Nov 1, 2026; no end date stated.

Our next source review is due Nov 8, 2026; that is an editorial freshness gate, not an operator validity date. After a published end date we show times only from a separately reviewed schedule covering your travel date.

Departures without a day restriction on the ticketing agent’s poster are treated as daily in this transcription. Confirm holiday service and current operation with the operator.

Checking service updates…

Published times help you plan. They do not confirm today’s operation, available seats or boarding. Confirm your outbound and return with the operator.

Getting to the dock is part of the trip

Arrange the ride from your accommodation or final stop to Cruz Bay. Ask the ferry operator when to arrive and check its luggage and boarding instructions. If you’re coming back from a beach, agree on the taxi pickup before you’re dropped off there.

Leave time after Red Hook

Check the ride from Red Hook to your next stop rather than planning around the crossing alone. For a flight or cruise departure, work backward from the airline’s or cruise line’s instructions and allow for delays on both islands. Confirm the ferry and the rides on either side before relying on the connection.

Before you travel

Check the operator for your date

Reviewed 2026-08-25

This page does not confirm live service. Check with the operator whether a boat is running on your date, when the last return leaves, and how early to arrive at the dock.

Ferry questions

Is the Cruz Bay → Red Hook ferry running on my travel date?
Check the operator’s current timetable and service notices, or contact them directly. This page cannot confirm live departures, available seats or boarding arrangements.
Can I fit the crossing around a flight, ship departure or other booking?
That depends on the actual ferry service and the rides you need on either side. Confirm those, the boarding instructions and your final arrival deadline before committing. If a necessary ride or crossing is still uncertain, choose a less time-sensitive plan.
