Things to do in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands: The Best Water Sports

November 2, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Like all of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas has plenty of opportunities to lounge on the beach, splash in the sea, or amp it up with watersports. It also boasts a bountiful duty-free shopping scene – just be prepared to brave the cruise ship crowds. Charlotte Amalie swells with Danish colonial architecture and pirate legend. Shiver ye timbers at Blackbeard’s Castle, then work up an appetite by climbing the historic 99 Steps, constructed from the ballast bricks of 18th century Danish ships.

Adventure Water Sports VI

Boat Charters: Charter the Aquavit II with Captain Jon Moore and enjoy the original combination of experience, hospitality, and flexibility that no other boat rental company in the Virgin Islands can match. Kiteboarding Lessons:Control of a power kite is the key to success. You will begin your training in the shallows behind the reef where you can comfortably focus on kite control, body dragging, and safety techniques. Once you can comfortably control a fully powered kite you are ready for your first ride. You will be working on water starting and controlling the power in the kite and on the board. The last step to becoming a kiteboarder is becoming free of the boat, and that means riding upwind. Full power and lots of carving are the key to success and we will hook you up with the tools and instruction to do both!
