Half-day sailing from Charlotte Amalie to Buck Island to snorkel with sea turtles, plus open bar and small-boat comfort.
“We specifically chose this excursion because it was a sailboat with a small passenger capacity, and it did not disappoint. The sailboat is beautiful, and we got to sail without motors on the way out to the bird sanctuary. Passengers chose whether to sit under the canopy or up on the front of the sailboat. The water in the cove where we snorkeled was very calm, and the equipment was in good shape. We enjoyed seeing the turtles, coral, and fish. Just keep in mind that the location is selected for the turtles. Drinks and snacks were offered after the snorkel. Captain Mike and Niki worked hard to accommodate requests…”

“The beach is part of a resort that was recently acquired, and a local told us that they really turned the place around. Plenty of parking. It isn't super well marked or signed, but it's kinda the only beach there, so you figure it out. It's a small beach, but it isn't crowded and people are respectful. We had plenty of communication leading up to this booking; the company sometimes operates out of Frederiksted if a cruise ship is due that day - we got lucky and were able to go to Chenay Bay. Our host, Dakari, was friendly and helpful! There were only a few people there, so there…”
