What would be the easiest and most efficient way to Buck Island STX from STJ? Also, if anyone knows of boat "rentals" in STX. All I can find are Excursion boats to Buck Island. Thanks in advance everyone! 🙂

Cheers 😎

STX is about 40 Nautical Mi. from St John -- not an easy boat ride most days - even the rather large ferry from STT-STX cancels on occasion and is often called the 'barf barge'.
So to get to STX from St John - take a ferry to STT - use the ferry or seaplane to get to STX - schedule a daytrip in STX to Buck Island. Not a day trip IMHO.
Boat rentals in STX ? ? I do know that Buck Island has some anchoring restrictions.

Thanks Exit Zero!

"Barf Barg"...not sure I would look forward to that! lol lol I've checked out the ferry schedules and the seaplane schedule. Just thought maybe there might be a direct way from STJ.
Thanks again.
