Boat charters & sails

The short list, verified.

The classic St. Croix boat day is Buck Island: a national-monument reef 1.5 miles offshore with one of the Caribbean's most photographed beaches at its west end. Only specifically licensed operators hold NPS authorization to land there — all are listed below, and any of them can be booked through the villa's concierge.

For the golden hour, Frederiksted answers with Lyric Sails — a 63-foot catamaran that doubles as the island's floating music venue.
