The engine thumps, spray slaps the hull and Christiansted’s boardwalk shrinks behind you as the boat cuts into the Caribbean. The chute fills like a living sail and, in moments, you’re lifted above turquoise shoals — a quiet capsule of wind and sky while the sea below dares you to look straight down.

Sun protection is essential
Use reef-safe sunscreen, wear a hat before boarding, and secure sunglasses with a strap—UV is strong over open water.
