Getting Around St. John: A Local Transportation Guide for Homebuyers and Investors

If you are looking for an investment purchase in the USVI, particularly on the quiet and scenic island of St. John, it’s important to understand how local transportation operates on the island. If you’re working with the top Caribbean real estate companies or looking through listings with the guys from 340 Real Estate St. John, knowing the best way to get around the island can help you make more informed property decisions—and take full advantage of island life.

First Halt: The Ferry Connector

St. John does not have an airport of its own, so visitors fly into St. Thomas and take ferries to Cruz Bay.

Passenger Ferries operate often out of Red Hook, St. Thomas (20-minute ride).

Car Barges if you are taking a car with you (or renting one) – a necessity for homeowners or investors staying long-term.

And many who are investigating Caribbean real estate companies take these ferry routes to scout several islands before making a purchase.

Safari Taxis of all Time:

The great Safari taxi Service is the flagship of the taxis in St.John

One of the most novel ways to see St. John is by hopping in an open-air safari taxi. These bench seating modified trucks are perfect for beach runs, quick spins or just casual transportation.

Fares are fixed, rather than by meter.

Drivers are usually fountains of local knowledge — perfect for real estate explorers curious to check out new areas.

And, 340 Real Estate St. John is always happy to share local drivers you can contact to help you visit several properties in one day.

, Rent a Jeep: A Must for Land Shoppers or tour with your Realtor

If you’re going to be looking at property in the more remote areas or hillsides (especially when you’re searching for your investment purchase in USVI), you really should rent a 4WD Jeep.

The roads can be steep and winding, and frequently lined with fantastic hillside homes or beachfront villas.

Jeeps are comfortable and easy on the ass, useful for buyers collaborating with Caribbean real estate companies to tour several properties.

Remember: Keep left, and take care on bends and hills.

VITRAN and Limited Public Transport

Public bus transportation (VITRAN) exists, however, routes and times can be restrictive. It’s convenient, mainly for use between Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, but not for anyone on vacation or limited time.

For those house-hunting with 340 Real Estate St. John and those touring with a realtor, public transit probably won’t be an option.

Walkability and Island Vibe

If you’re staying near Cruz Bay, you’ll find it is pretty walkable. Within a short walk are many restaurants, galleries, shops and offices, including those of Caribbean real estate companies.

For buyers, this walkable configuration is also a draw for personal use or rental potential, he added.

Real Estate Investors - Tips for Transport

Time Your Visit: Traffic near ferry terminals can be problematic — time property visits accordingly.

Book Early for Rentals: They’re not many out there and especially this time of year, they sell out fast.

Local Knowledge Counts: 340 Real Estate St. John realtors often share advice on transportation and even offer tours of several homes.

Final Thoughts

The place where Cruz Bay and the Westin meet, St. John presents a relaxed, island-connected lifestyle and buyers and investors can gain a huge advantage by understanding the local transportation system. Whether you are considering ocean side homes or forested mountain side homes it’s all about making an efficient investment purchase in USVI.
