Airport plus domestic ferry
Fly into St. Thomas, cross to St. John, and protect the final return to Cyril E. King Airport.
Plan the USVI handoff →Complete destination cluster · Caribbean
Plan the Caribbean by connection pattern—not one generic island list.
Use a ferry-based USVI route, an international Saint-Martin to Anguilla crossing, or a fly-in Barbados or Saint Lucia stay. Then match the airport, port, weather exposure, mobile coverage, and complete cost.

Choose the connection pattern
Not every Caribbean trip should be island hopping.
Start with the route structure. The correct island, airport, transfer, and booking order follow from that decision.
International ferry crossing
Connect Saint-Martin and Anguilla with passport, port, operating-hours, and weather checks.
Plan the Anguilla crossing →One-island fly-in stay
Choose Barbados or Saint Lucia when the priority is a deeper stay without repeated airport and ferry handoffs.

Live-information rule
Do not use a saved ferry timetable as a permanent schedule.
Recheck the operator, departure port, ticket method, immigration requirements, baggage policy, final departure, and weather status close to travel. A short crossing can still fail when the flight lands after the last practical connection.
Important Caribbean planning notice
Ferry schedules, immigration rules, port fees, weather, flight times, road conditions, mobile coverage, and provider terms can change without notice. Verify current details with the relevant government, port, airline, ferry operator, and service provider before paying or traveling.
