With plenty of covered and open air seating and perfect timing for your cruise schedule, a half-day sail will perfectly accommodate and delight your group featuring incredible views and St Thomas Snorkeling spots. Snorkel gear, instruction, open bar, and snacks are all included with your sail. An extended version of this sail is also available to visit Honeymoon Beach in St. John for some shore time with an included full lunch on a Half-Day Sail with Lunch to feed the whole group and hit a neighboring island. From sun-soaking with a fresh cocktail to exploring the reef and swimming with sea turtles, there’s something for everyone in your group to enjoy on a half-day St. Thomas Sailing excursion!
Ecotour- Take a journey through the St. Thomas mangrove lagoon on a group kayak, hike, and snorkel Eco Tour. Your group can pair up in the 2 person kayaks as you explore the rare mangrove trees that grow in this salt lagoon, providing a haven for unique marine life to flourish. The uninhabited island of Cas Cay is your destination where your group will hike to its shell beach and volcanic cliffs for breathtaking natural sights. Snorkel the clear lagoon waters surrounding Cas Cay where you’ll see the unique ecosystem of the saltwater mangrove trees and the coral and marine life that dwell among their roots.
