St Thomas Private Airport Transfer to Sapphire & Crystal Cove

Summary

Private Taxi from Cyril King Airport to East End Resorts

You’ll skip the taxi scramble and start your St. Thomas trip relaxed with this private airport transfer straight to your resort or villa on the East End. Local drivers know all the shortcuts and will help with bags—plus you can ask about quick shopping stops or car seats for kids.

What’s the experience like?

The second we stepped out of baggage claim at Cyril King Airport, the thick island air hit us—warm and a little salty. Our driver was already waiting outside with a small sign (I almost missed it, but he waved). He greeted us by name and helped with our bags, chatting about how busy Red Hook gets around ferry time. The van was cool inside—huge relief after the midday sun—and honestly, I was glad not to be figuring out directions or parking after that flight.

We cruised past Charlotte Amalie’s colorful shops and up winding hills where you catch quick glimpses of turquoise water between palm trees. Our driver pointed out a roadside fruit stand near Tutu Park Mall—he said their mangoes are best in July. Traffic can get slow near Smith Bay if there’s a cruise ship in port, but today it moved pretty well. The whole ride took about 35 minutes; enough time for me to spot the first pelican diving off Sapphire Beach as we pulled in.

If you’re heading to places like the Ritz Carlton, Elysian Resort, Secret Harbour, or Crystal Cove, this is a straight shot—no stops unless you ask for one (shopping runs are easy to arrange). For families, they’ve got booster seats ready if you need them. And if you’re traveling with more than four people, just let them know ahead of time—they’ll sort it out for a small extra fee per person.
