Detailed itinerary

This exhilarating scenic cruise along the picturesque southern coast of St. Thomas brings you to your first destination: Turtle Cove, off Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Once there, whether you are experienced or a first time snorkeler, your professional snorkel guide will provide you with all the necessary instructions to use your snorkel gear, and then take you on an unforgettable, fun, and informative marine life adventure. You will enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea featuring numerous species of colorful fish and beautiful coral reefs all while encountering endangered green sea turtles as they glide along in their natural habitat, or simply relax onboard watching these amazing turtles rise to the surface for a breath of fresh air. Come back on board and enjoy a continental breakfast just before we head to your second stop.

Shipwreck Cove offers its own pirate’s chest of natural beauty with a flourishing reef system growing around the wreckage of a sunken WWII freighter brought into the cove by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Stingrays, hawksbill turtles, reef squid, and a myriad of tropical fish can be found swimming around the home the Cartanza Senora now makes for them. Your guide will take you to all the best spots to immerse yourself in the many wonders this stop offers. Schools of yellowtail snappers can often be seen from the surface hanging out around the boats. Come out of the water and refresh yourself with drinks from our top shelf bar.

Stop 4

On your way to Honeymoon Beach, Water Island which is only accessible by boat, indulge in a light afternoon snack and cocktails made from our top-shelf open bar. Once there the choice is yours–enjoy the best of both worlds while you relax, catching some sun on the boat, on our floats, or in the warm sand on the beach. Lunch is available from a local vendor on the beach or feel free to bring your own.

The fun and relaxation continues on the return trip back to your dock as you recline in style taking in the sights the US Virgin Islands have to offer.
