Tour Details

Climb aboard a Morgan 46 foot Ketch for this half day sail and snorkel to the Marine Sanctuary of the giant Green Sea Turtle.

Departing from the harbor right next to the Havensight cruise pier, sail past the cruise ships as you head for the open sea. You may choose a seat in the center cockpit, designed for shade and to provide a firsthand view of how a beautiful boat is sailed. Or, if you want to soak up the Caribbean rays, spread out on the bow or the stern and relax while breathing the refreshing ocean air. The professional and courteous crew will greet you with complimentary drinks and snacks as the sails are raised and we catch the breeze. The crew has been on island for years and will share some of the history and pirate lore during your 3 mile sail to the sanctuary at Buck Island.

After the yacht anchors in Turtle Cove, the crew will offer professional instruction, quality snorkel gear, and the best flotation devices in the entire US Virgin Islands. Then, follow the crew into the water where they will assist and explain all the different species of sea life that you encounter. In addition to the turtles, you may see octopus, conch, urchins, starfish, squid and a variety of tropical reef fish as well as the coral reef of this deserted island.

After your snorkeling / swimming, climb back on board for a quick fresh water rinse on the aft deck. Then partake in a cold beverage including rum drinks, beer and soft drinks as the crew sets the sails and you turn towards home.

Please note: Tour departs from the Yacht Haven Grande which is located within walking distance of the Havensight Cruise Pier, along the walking path to town. Guests docking at Crown Bay will need to hire a transfer for the 20-25 minute ride (traffic permitting) to the Yacht Haven Grande which is not included in the tour price.
