Hello Bob,

You can spearfish, exceptions are:

It is against the law - illegal to use or possess spear fishing equipment within National Park boundaries.

It is against the law - illegal to spear fish for lobsters in all territorial waters.

More Rules can be found at:

I don't know of anywhere to rent a boat on St. Croix (bareboat). There are charters with captain.

Bob,

There are definately good places to go spearfishing on St. Croix, you will just have to ask around. You really don't need a boat. Just go where there are reefs and there are lots of fish. Just don't spear anything down around Buck Island or the Marine Reserve area.
