Private Water TaxiÂ
Private Water Taxi We strongly recommend using a private water taxi to get you straight to your crewed yacht charter. The water taxi will pick up at whatever time you need and take you straight to your crewed yacht, via customs and immigration. Your water taxi captain will take care of your customs and immigration clearance, which means you won’t have to stand in lengthy lines – instead you can sip on a cold drink while that’s all done!
The companies we would recommend are:
Island Time Water Taxi Tel: BVI (284) 495-9993, (284) 340-0357 [email protected]
Chillout Charters Tel: BVI (284) 340 1122 [email protected]
