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.
