LimeOut Taco Shuttles
The most comfortable and hassle free wsay to get to Lime Out! As the first floating taco bar of its kind, Lime Out offers a unique dining experience in the US Virgin Islands. Parents can imbibe in hand craft cocktails and delicious tacos, while the kids can frolic on the lilypads and taste local juices-all within the embrace of the Caribbean Sea.
Sit at the swim up bar, the green lilypads, or order tacos to your boat. As a Coral Bay based company, we work closely with the Lime Out team to deliver you the best experience on your trip. As such, we have adapted their Earth-centric boating practices, like offering insulated cups and refillable triple filtered water (no PLASTIC water bottles) for your convenience, encouraging guests to bring cans (which can be recycled through Island Green Living on STJ) vs glass bottles, as well as providing Raw Elements USA Reef Safe sunscreen to all our guests. Let’s all work together to keep STJ the beautiful place we all love!
Offering three shuttle boat sizes, we can accommodate a wide range of group sizes.

Coming from STT
If you are coming from STT, you need to take either the car barge (with your own rental car) and drive to Coral Bay OR take the Red Hook ferry to Cruz Bay, then taxi to Coral Bay. If you taxi, you MUST reserve your return trip from Coral Bay to Cruz Bay as well. There are no taxis waiting in Coral Bay. Check VINOW.com for ferry schedules.
PLAN AHEAD, there is a lot of moving parts and time involved in coming from STT. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time. It's a great way to come to St. John, go to Lime Out, and then have your taxi driver show you around St. John!

Can we sit on the floating green Lily Pads or the swim up bar?
Lily pads are available on a first come, first serve basis. Lime Out opens at 11am, allowing guests to swim over from their boats at 10:45. Send your fastest swimmer first (think Olympic style sprint) and you should be set. Floats and seats at the bar are constantly opening up, if you wait and watch they will become available.
What happens if there aren’t seats available at the Lily Pads or swim up bar?
- Per Person trips: We will do our best to get you seats on a lilypad or swim up bar. Guests are frequently changing over so there is usually always space available
- Private trips: You can order tacos to the boat, for a $10 fee. Or, as mentioned above, you can watch and wait for one to open up. Private trips are great for groups when some people want to swim over and some want to stay on the boat. We have plenty of shade and spots to enjoy tacos on the boats. Plus, we’ve got saddle floats, snorkel belts (for flotation, not snorkeling) and on SALT DECK, our WATERSLIDE.
Can we snorkel on Taco Runs?
No. It is a working harbor and LOTS of boat traffic around Lime Out. If you would like to snorkel, we recommend a half or full day charter. On a half day, we can do 1 or 2 snorkeling spots before Lime Out. On a full day, we can do 3-4 spots and LimeOut.
