Are there other ways to get to Buck Island besides a charter?
Is there a ferry? I've been all over the site but I havent found anything.
Thanks

Which Buck Island are you referring to? - the one off of STX or STT? Either way, I think the answer is "No" to ferry transportation.
Wow, I had no idea there were TWO. I am asking about the one near STX.
Thanks again
No, no ferries to Buck Island. You can get there via an excursion company like Big Beard's or a smaller charter craft. Here are a couple of picture to whet your appetite:
Have a wonderful time!
you can also rent a small boat and take yourself......
Where can you rent a small boat?
LOVED THE PICS!!
With that reef system around STX I'm not sure I would be comfortable taking a small boat out on my own that distance.
Buck Island: There is the National Park Buck Island off of St. Croix, http://www.nps.gov/buis. And off of St. Thomas is Buck Island Wildlife Refuge, http://www.fws.gov/caribbean/Refuges/Buckisland/default.htm.
Didn't think there were any boat rentals on St. Croix? Flounder who rents them, or if someone else knows?
Jennybug - a charter to Buck Island NP makes for a great day! It's beautiful.
