Day Trip and/or Sunset Cruise out of Coral Bay area?

Post by ski2play »

Staying for the first time on the East End, so stoked! We are wondering if day trips by boat (power or sail) and/or sunset cruises are available out of the Coral Bay area. If so, who, what, where, and when. Thanks.

Try Island Roots. John is great and out of Coral Bay. http://www.islandrootsusvi.com/

Or Jimmy who works at Skinny's has a Sail Boat. Kyote Sails I think might be the name of it.

If you want to sail, I highly recommend Clark on White Wing.
Great boat, great captain!

We have been out on Long Distance( http://www.saillongdistance.com/ ) out of Coral Bay and had a great day. Rick and Robin are great people to sail with. I highly recommend them.

Update: Just looked on Twitter and they won the VI "Best Charter/Day Sail Crew" for 2013 from the VI Daily News.

I second the Long Distance. Rick and Robin are awesome. I had a broken arm in a cast and went snorkeling on a daytrip with them. They made sure I was able to snorkel and took me places that were calm enough for me to enjoy the experience. When I make it back to the island we will make sure to go out with them again.

Hey Poolmom...I was going to include the picture of you in the cast in the water but I wasn't sure if I should...but since you brought it up.

Rick and Robin from Long Distance were very helpful. We wrapped Poolmom's arm in a trash bag, sealed with duct tape, and gave her a life preserver to rest her arm on and off we went...

Poolmom: Any plans to visit again? We are going back in May for a couple of weeks and back in October for a week with our Friday Nite gang...
