British Virgin Islands / Taxis

Taxi fares in the BVIs are fixed and are published at the airport. They operate a minimum rate that covers up to two people. For three or more they charge a standard rate per person.

Beef Island - $20 minimum, $8 per person.
West End - $20 min, $8 per person.
Cane Garden Bay - $15 min, $6 per person.

Beef Island - $40 min, 15 per person.

Water Taxis

There are not any regular water taxis, but one of the powerboat operators will probably hire themselves out if you need a ride to another island. On Tortola try King Charters, Nanny Cay Marina, who have a number of powerboats. In Virgin Gorda you could try Bennu Farrington or Dale Wheatley.

If you need to get to the USVI and the ferries haven’t worked out then you can charter a water taxi through Dohm’s Water Taxi, based in the USVI.
