Caribbean Sea Adventures
Get ready to slip off your shoes and dance on deck as the sun dips below the horizon on the Adults Only Sunset Cruise offered by Caribbean Sea Adventures. This two-hour St. Croix sunset cruise aboard the Celebration catamaran accommodates up to 28 guests age 18+. Sip complimentary rum punch or buy a cocktail from the cash bar. Kids are welcome on the Family Sunset Cruise that offers a more relaxed vibe on Tuesday evenings, sailing out to Buck Island or along the coast. Cruises depart from the Christiansted Boardwalk.

Lyric Sails
Lyric Sails offers its daily St. Croix Sunset Sail aboard the candy apple-red Jolly Mon catamaran that shoves off from Frederiksted Pier. Cruises are shoeless, so be ready to hand over your sandals before boarding. Enjoy live music and free bottomless rum punch (a cash bar is also available) as you sail along the scenic West End of St. Croix. Depending on the winds, the captain may steer the boat around Sandy Point, where you might spy sea turtle tracks on the beach. Children of all ages are welcome on any sail.

Sandy Toes Sailing
Gather a group of up to 12 friends and charter a private sunset sail with Sandy Toes Sailing aboard the spacious Great Adventure catamaran. Departing daily from Green Cay Marina, the two-hour sail passes along the stunning North Shore of St. Croix, where gold-hued skies and gentle trade winds create the perfect Caribbean sunset experience. Appetizers, beer, wine, soft drinks and handcrafted cocktails (limited to two per guest) are complimentary.

Tropical Tiki Tours
Pack your own cocktails and snacks for one of Tropical Tiki Tours‘ sunset sails. You can’t miss the floating party boat, complete with bar-style seating and a thatched roof, that cruises along the shore of St. Croix. The Christiansted Harbor Sunset Cruise glides on the turquoise waters of Protestant Cay and past historic Fort Christiansvaern as the sun begins to set. Or choose the Frederiksted Beaches & Pier Sunset Cruise that departs from the west end of Frederiksted Pier and sails along the waterfront. Both cruises last 1 hour and 45 minutes.
