Sailing St. Croix

Snorkeling | Beaches | Scuba Diving | Buck Island | Tours and Daytrips | Sport Fishing | Watersports

Whether you know how to sail and want to bare-boat, or you're island hopping on your own boat, or you just want to go for a day sail with someone else, St. Croix is a great destination. 

A day spent sailing to Buck Island or any of the other Virgin Islands - St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Gorda, Tortola or around the other small cays and islands is a day well spent. There are also several charter boats available with different sailing options. For a schedule of regattas, check with the St. Croix Yacht Club.   If you don't know how to sail but would like to learn, Annapolis sailing school has a school on the island. 

Villa Soleil is conveniently located 10 minutes from Salt River Bay Marina, 10 minutes from the harbor at Christiansted, and about 20 minutes from St. Croix Yacht Club.
