TESTIMONIALS
5-Star Tripadvisor Review of Our Ferry Services
Great Ride
We rode Native Son from St Thomas to Tortola and was very efficient and on-time. We were advised to ride this ferry by the proprietors of where we were staying in BVI as the most reliable ferry service and certainly met our expectations. Very efficient loading and operation.

Reliable, On-time and Clean
We used Native Son to go from St Thomas -Red Hook to West End, and West End to Charlotte Amalie. The staff was friendly and the ferries were on time both times. Both vessels were clean and seemed to be well maintained.

Relax and Ride!
Native Son Crew is very accommodating. The crew allowed my disabled spouse to board early and lifted him on board and off the ferry. He was also given a wheelchair to use to assist him boarding and coming off. The ride was very relaxing.

Pleasant Ride to St Thomas
Got to Road Town and the Native Son was leaving in 10 minutes, so we took this ferry instead of waiting for the fast ferry. It left right on time. The staff was very friendly. The ride was enjoyable. Would use them again.
