Did you know the USVI is comprised of about 50 cays and islands? Cays, pronounced “keys”, are like tiny islands or large formations sticking out of the sea. These tiny bits of land off the coast of St. Thomas and surrounding islands are surrounded by healthy coral reef growth and abundant underwater wildlife which make for the perfect stops on your boat charters, along with a great opportunity for some incredible snorkeling around St Thomas. Christmas Cove off of Great St. James Island, Turtle Cove off of Buck Island, Lovango Cay are some of the best Cays the St.Thomas area has to offer. Enjoy a slice of the world amous floating pizza bar, PizzaPiVI. Sourced from local ingredients, you will love their twists on classic pizzas…not to mention they deliver your pizza by dinghy! Feeling energetic? Grab a float and swim up to the boat to order. Not only will you enjoy great pizza, you’ll also see some great snorkeling and calm waters. If you’re looking for a private powerboat charter, you can customize your itinerary to go to some of the most remote cays for a truly unique experience on the water.
The USVI’s newest member, Water Island, is the anti-tourist destination- your own beach, solitude and super quiet. Accessible only by boat or ferry, your options for transportation on island are golf cart or the good ole soles of your feet. One of the few remaining truly undeveloped beauties of the USVI, Water Island has no hotels, only private homes and eco-accomodations. Pull up to Honeymoon Beach on the West end of the island (yes, there are multiple beaches named Honeymoon and they are all as dreamy as the next). Lined with dozens of palm trees and thatched sheds, the water is calm and the sand is endless. Grab a bite at Dinghy’s beach bar. You encounter all walks of life at Dinghys…locals, tourists, young, old and furry friends. Enjoy the ultra bright décor, cold beverages and satisfying local food.
