St. Croix
Marinas, Harbors, Anchorages
 The
U.S. Virgin Islands is regarded one of the best sailing
locations in the world. The islands offer warm, sunny weather,
reliable trade winds, breathtaking scenery and plenty of
protected anchorages.
St. Croix has
several fine marinas to choose from. There are also several
areas of the island that offer anchorages and moorings for
day use and overnight stays. The island has about 50 moorings
that are free to boaters. These moorings are for daytime
use only, and no vessels over 60 feet are allowed. There
is a 3 hour limit for the use of these moorings. These free
moorings were installed to help protect the fragile coral
reefs that surround much of St. Croix. Because of these
reefs surrounding the island, be sure that you have accurate
and up to date charts to safely navigate St. Croix's waters.
