The Cycleboat pulls away from Crown Bay with rum punch in hand and the Caribbean daring you to keep pace. Bright vinyl seats ring a central bar where pedal stations hum and laughter rides the breeze; the motor takes over when limbo wins out and the captain points the bow toward Water Island's pale curve of sand.

The Cycleboat pulls away from Crown Bay with rum punch in hand and the Caribbean daring you to keep pace. Bright vinyl seats ring a central bar where pedal stations hum and laughter rides the breeze; the motor takes over when limbo wins out and the captain points the bow toward Water Island's pale curve of sand.
This short hop crosses water carved from volcanic uplift and coral growth: St. Thomas and Water Island are pieces of the same geologic story, where ancient lava and newer reef structures meet. Water Island carries military echoes — Fort Segarra’s concrete remains from WWII sit up on the knoll — and a small local culture centered on beach bars, boat crews, and salt-stiff hair.
Honeymoon Beach rewards swimmers with shallow reef gardens where sea turtles glide and little fish inspect new visitors. The shoreline is lively but compact: you'll find snorkeling, a sandy walk under palms, and a couple of low-key beach bars that trade cold drinks for sunset views.
Practical side: the trip is three hours total, BYOB-friendly with coolers and ice aboard, and includes bottled water and rum punch. Expect light pedaling at the bar seats if you want to help power the boat, but the crew will handle navigation and safety. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes for the rocky approach if you swim to shore, and a waterproof phone case for quick photos. Seas can be choppy on the crossing; if prone to motion sickness, take precautions before boarding. Arrive at Crown Bay Marina 15 minutes early to find the D dock and a big wheel on the stern.
