An easy, four-hour evening on a 65-foot catamaran: hors d'oeuvres and open bar en route to Lovango Cay, a coastal dinner at the resort, then desserts under the stars. Ideal for travelers who want an accessible island evening with chef-driven seafood and a moonlit sail home.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a 65-foot catamaran as the harbor sheds its day heat and the sea pulls light into a long, golden hem. The engine settles; the island line loosens and the wind begins to test your hair. Cocktails circulate, and the crew points starboard toward Lovango Cay — a low, green island that holds a small resort and a beach club where evening plates arrive with the smell of salt and smoke.

History
Lovango Cay was used historically for small-scale plantation activity and later as a waypoint between St. John and St. Thomas; recent development converted parts into a small resort focused on coastal dining.
Conservation
The local reef is sensitive—avoid stepping on coral and use reef-safe sunscreen; operators typically follow no-anchor or mooring protocols to protect seagrass and coral.
