More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a 34-foot Nor-Tech and the ocean answers — a crisp bow-cutting wake, trade winds nudging your hat, and an archipelago of white shoulders and green crowns sliding into view. On a full-day run from St. Thomas you can hop between USVI coves and British Virgin Islands cays; on a half-day you’ll sample a reef snorkel, a sheltered beach, and a chilled rum punch with the horizon watching.
