BUCK ISLAND
Underwater National Monument & Reef |
||
| When the Kennedy's visited St. Croix in the early fifties, they paid Buck Island a visit. They were fascinated by the natural beauty of the island, and wanted to find a way to preserve it. They were responsible for initiating the legislation that made Buck Island more than just a local treasure. Today we have the Kennedy's to thank for that initiaive...this landmark is now one of the only two Underwater National Monuments in the United States. Even though Buck Island is situated just two miles off of St. Croix's north shore, to be a part of its majesty is an experience you will never forget. Of the 19,015 acres that comprise the park, less than two hundred of them are above the water's surface. It's western beach, Turtle Beach, has been voted one of the top ten prettiest beaches in the world, and as well as a favorite snorkel location in a readers poll. It's biggest attraction is a 4,554 acre long reef that is home to more than 250 species of fish. Captain Big Beard invites you to come on an adventure.... through the Caribbean Sea and beyond to Buck Island, where to really experience it, you must get wet!! |

FULL
DAY SAIL TRIP Includes Buck Island and Beach BBQ |
||||||||||
Join us on our most popular trip! Sail on our 42' Catamaran RENEGADE, the only glass-bottom sailboat on St. Croix. We depart at 9:30 from downtown Christiansted to Buck Island's Turtle Beach, voted one of the most beautiful in the world. We provide snorkel gear to each guest and snorkel lessons on the beach. Once you are feeling comfortable with your gear, the Captain and crew will then take you through the underwater trail along the reef. After you've seen the trail, Renegade will sail to Big Beard's private beach on St. Croix for a barbeque lunch -- all you can eat (burgers, dogs, and fresh fish) and drink (rum punch). When we get back to Christiansted at 4:00pm, you'll be full, happy, and relaxed - we guarantee it! "Relax into the attitude of the lattitude." The mood is relaxed and intimate, with plenty of time to get as waterlogged as you'd like." — Chicago Sun Times
