We depart at 9:30 from downtown Christiansted to Buck Island's Turtle Beach, voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We provide snorkel gear to each guest and snorkel lessons on the beach if needed. After the beach we will take everyone to the lagoon on the other side of the island and the crew will then take you in small groups through the underwater trail. After you've seen the snorkeling, we will sail to Big Beard's private beach for a barbeque lunch. We end the day with a relaxing sail back to town, arriving in Christiansted by 3:30pm. 

Half Day Sails

Designed and built on St. Croix, the Adventure offers a comfortable and exhilarating ride with ample shade and protection from the elements while still offering plenty of room to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the views. The Adventure departs from the Christiansted Boardwalk twice a day. To begin, you will spend time on Buck Island's Turtle Beach, where you can learn to snorkel with a lesson provided by our crew or just relax and enjoy the beach. Then it's off to our underwater trail where you will be guided in groups of 6 through the reef. We provide all the gear necessary and filtered drinking water throughout the day for you.

Sunset Sails

We'll sail you into a beautiful Caribbean sunset on the Renegade or cruise on Adventure and explore the island from the water. Treat yourself, your kids, or your sweetheart to a couple of hours on the water watching the sun melt into the sparkling sea as you sip on complimentary rum punch, fruit punch and water. You'll be glad you did!

For years, Big Beard's Adventure Tours has been one of the US Virgin Islands top destinations for fun and adventure.

• Beach Guide

Did you know... St. Croix is ringed by beaches of all shapes and sizes, some are long white sand stretches, others are small patches shaded by low sea grape trees and towering coconut palms. Some have smooth sandy bottoms ideal for swimming, and others have rock and coral-lined entries perfect for snorkeling! Did you know... St. Croix is the only Caribbean Island where a diver can: ●Dive a wall that drops over 13,000 feet ●Dive a reef that is the largest living reef of any Caribbean Island ●Dive five wrecks that are within 100 yards of each other ●Dive a pier        

• Weddings / Romance

DID YOU KNOW THAT... Many couples are opting to save the money (not to mention the stress and hard work) of a big wedding at home by escaping to a Caribbean island for a combination wedding/honeymoon. Upon their return, they can share the event by showing the video and photographs at an informal reception. All the islands are beautiful and, on some, weddings have become a major promotional tool. So why should you choose St. Croix above others?

• Moving Here

DID YOU KNOW... In addition to it's long and rich multicultural history, friendly people, open spaces, the blue sea and near perfect year-round weather, there are a number of reasons to consider relocating to St Croix. Most importantly, the U.S. Virgin Islands, which includes St Croix, operate under U.S. law which is important in both business and personal matters. 

This means mainland US companies do business here including retail stores such as K-Mart, Radio Shack, Office Max, McDonald's and Wendy's. Also U.S. financial services including a variety of U.S. mortgage, insurance and banking companies offer local service.  U.S. cellular phone companies including AT&T and Sprint, both operate here.

Arriving By Cruise Ship

The Ann E. Abramson Pier is named in honor of the Virgin Islands Public Works Commissioner who was responsible for much of the rejuvenation of the Frederiksted area. This is the pier where most of the large cruise ships dock, as well as military ships, submarines, and other naval vessels. From time to time, tall-ships especially from Denmark, can be seen here.

The dock itself has been a favorite diving place especially for viewing bright coral, sponges, and a multitude of fish life. A night dive should reveal the sea-horses unique to this pier. Visitors arriving at the pier often walk through the small town of Frederiksted and walk to the nearby beaches and beach club

Messages From Happy Guests

Tripadvisor.

It was a great full-day experience sailing to Buck Island. Great crew, not crowded on the boat, and a great spot for snorkeling. Great drinks on the way back. Overall a really good day! Definitely recommended.

We had the pleasure with 3 captains – Michelle, Tom, and Noel. Michelle was our main guide and took us on the snorkeling tour. Afterward, spent some time at Buck Island. Wow! The crew was great! They were patient, fun, and informative. The views were breathtaking. Oh and that rum punch! Yum! Definitely will recommend and do another tour with them.
