No matter where you stay in the USVI,
water sports are just a few minutes away!
It's just easier...
water sports in the US Virgin Islands
So much to do - so little time! The USVI
is a paradise for everyone who loves SCUBA diving, snorkeling, kayaks,
para-sailing, yachting, sailing, swimming, banana boats, water trampolines
or any imaginable water sports.
 Snorkeling
and SNUBA: Snorkeling is excellent throughout the USVI.
St. Thomas has guided snorkeling tours through the St. Thomas Marine
Sanctuary or explore on your own at world-famous Magens Bay Beach. See Snorkel Tour Operators in St. Thomas on our Eco-Adventure
page.
St Croix boasts the incomparable Buck Island Reef National Monument and St.
John offers fantastic snorkeling along the shores of the Virgin Islands
National Park - where you can also sample 'snuba', a combination of
snorkeling and SCUBA diving.
SCUBA Diving: SCUBA diving between St. Thomas and St. John
gives you the opportunity to discover several shipwrecks before moving on
to the uninhabited rocks and cays off
 of St. John. St. Croix offers
plenty of caves, tunnels and pinnacles to explore - especially off Cane
Bay.
Kayaks: Kayak tours are very popular on St. Thomas in the
East End Marine Sanctuary and Mangrove Lagoon. On St. Croix kayaking is
popular in Salt River Bay. See
Kayak Tour Operators on our Eco-Adventure page.
Windsurfing: Windsurfing is concentrated in Pillsbury Sound
between St. Thomas and St. John - Sapphire Beach is one of the most
popular windsurfing areas.
Parasailing: Parasailing, kite sailing and hang
gliding are available at many resorts. Sea kayaks, wave runners, Hobie
Cats and even paddleboats are also available.
Surfing: Surfing is best in the winter months with
waves ranging from 6-8'.
Regattas: Regattas are held several times a year,
including the Caribbean Ocean Racing Triangle Series (CORT) and the
International Rolex Regatta. Check our calendar
of events section for exact dates and locations.
