Yes, Cape Air runs C402s between SJU and EIS, I've done it a few times, they are very good to nonrevs. You can jumpseat (you'll still pay a small departure tax, both ways) or use a ZED pass for family members that aren't jumpseat-eligible. Cape Air was still paper ZED as of last October.
Even though the planes are small (9 pax), they tend to get nonrevs on - when the planes are full, they often add a second plane to accommodate everyone and their luggage. November is still low season.
Last year they also began flying to Virgin Gorda, I'd check into that if your trip begins or ends in that corner of the BVI. There are ferries to/from North Sound & Spanish Town.
Gonna do any sailing in the BVI? PM me for gouge if so.
