St Croix Tiki Boat Cruise from Frederiksted: Sunset or Beach

Float in the Caribbean with a rum colada and island music.

A tiki boat cruise departing from Frederiksted Pier on St Croix's West End, led by a USCG-certified captain and crew. The boat passes Historic Fort Frederik, a Danish Colonial fort from the mid-18th century, and anchors in the Caribbean for swimming. You choose between a beach cruise or a sunset cruise. Both run about two hours and include bottled water, one rum tiki colada per person, and a cooler of ice for your own drinks and snacks.

Step-by-step itinerary

Tiki boat cruise and sightseeing

• Board boat at Frederiksted Pier
• Cruise St. Croix’s West End waters
• Pass Historic Fort Frederik

The experience

What time of day matters most to you? The light of afternoon or the colors of sunset? The two departures from Frederiksted Pier follow the same route through St Croix's West End waters, passing the Historic Fort Frederik as it rises from the harbor, but the beach cruise and sunset cruise each set their own pace and mood. A USCG-certified captain and crew run the boat, and you're free to bring your favorite drinks and snacks for the whole trip.

The cruise itself runs about an hour and forty-five minutes. You'll float past the fort, then the boat anchors in the clear Caribbean so you can jump in and swim if you want to. The tiki setup (Bluetooth speaker, full cooler of ice, and that welcome rum colada) is already on board. Bring a towel and sunscreen. The water is the main event once you're anchored.

You need to be able to walk up and down three steps to board the vessel, and the crew serves alcoholic drinks only to travelers 18 and older. Children from age 16 are welcome on the cruise. There's no restroom on board, so plan accordingly before you leave the pier.
