Sea Thru Kayaks VI LLC is a Salt River, St. Croix–based paddling outfitter featured on The Adventure Collective. The company offers guided stand up paddleboard eco-tours and electric paddleboard rentals focused on the marine habitats of Salt River Bay National Park and nearby coastal waters.
Core experiences include the Salt River Bay SUP Tour, a 2.5-hour eco-tour that winds through mangrove channels and crystal-clear waters with both beginner and advanced route options and expert guidance. The tour highlights natural features and local history while providing instruction appropriate to skill level. The Bioluminescent Bay Stand Up Paddleboard Tour takes place after dark on transparent SUPs so paddlers can see the glowing microorganisms that light the water — a unique night paddling experience that emphasizes safe, low-impact observation. For self-directed adventures, the eSUP Paddleboard Rental supplies electric drive boards with adjustable speed and power and a quiet motor designed to run throughout a full day on the water.
Safety briefings, route orientation, and equipment familiarization are part of each offering to help guests paddle confidently. Guides provide local knowledge about ecology and viewing opportunities to enhance awareness of the area’s natural resources. Equipment choices — including transparent boards for nighttime visibility and electric boards for extended range — are aligned with the specific needs of each trip.
As a featured operator, Sea Thru Kayaks VI LLC serves visitors seeking eco-focused, memorable paddling experiences in Salt River, St. Croix, combining hands-on guidance, purpose-built gear, and routes that showcase the island’s marine environment and responsible environmental practices.
