Picture this: You’re floating in turquoise Caribbean waters, the sun is warm on your shoulders, and just ahead, there’s a sailboat serving up piping-hot pizza. No, this isn’t a dream—it’s Pizza Pi, the Virgin Islands’ most beloved floating pizzeria, anchored in the heart of Christmas Cove.
If you’re looking for a day on the water that combines delicious food, epic snorkeling, and laid-back island vibes, Pizza Pi is the kind of place you’ll want to visit again and again. It’s fun, it’s flavorful, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
A Floating Pizza Kitchen That’s Earned Its Fame 🍕
Anchored just off Great St. James Island, Pizza Pi is no ordinary boat. What started as a humble sailboat has been fully transformed into a floating pizza kitchen, complete with a marine-friendly kitchen and a “drive-thru” window for boaters. And yes—it smells as good as it sounds.
- The menu features handcrafted, stone-baked pizzas made fresh to order, including gluten-free and vegetarian options.
- They’re known for inventive toppings, rotating specials, and a commitment to high-quality ingredients that rival anything you’d find on land.
- Over the years, Pizza Pi has been repeatedly ranked among the top restaurants in the USVI—and once you try a slice, you’ll understand why.
You can float up, paddle over, or step off your chartered boat and pick up your pizza right from the sea. It’s convenience and flavor, island-style.
An Epic Journey from Coral Bay to Christmas Cove 🗺️
If you’re chartering from Coral Bay, getting to Christmas Cove isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the incredible journey along the way.
Yes, it’s a bit farther out, but that just means more time soaking up the scenic beauty of St. John’s rugged coastlines. Depending on the day and the weather, you’ll either cruise the north shore with its dramatic cliffs and turquoise bays or take the south side with its peaceful, open water views and hidden coves.
It’s the kind of ride that turns heads, fills camera rolls, and gives you a whole new appreciation for the island. And on the way back? You’ll get to enjoy the relaxing return cruise with full bellies, salty skin, and plenty of Caribbean bliss to go around.
Christmas Cove: A Snorkeler’s Playground 🐠
Of course, Pizza Pi’s location doesn’t hurt either. Christmas Cove is one of the top snorkeling destinations in the Virgin Islands, and for good reason.
- The waters are calm, clear, and protected, making it a great choice for swimmers and snorkelers of all levels.
- Expect to see sea turtles grazing on seagrass, schools of tropical fish dancing around coral heads, and maybe even a spotted eagle ray gliding by.
- Thanks to its sheltered location, Christmas Cove is typically free of strong currents or swells—perfect for families, beginners, and anyone who wants to take it easy in the water.
Not in the mood to snorkel? No problem. This is a place where you can grab a float, a slice, and a cold drink, then kick back in the Caribbean Sea like it’s your own personal pool.
