St. John dinner sail from St. Thomas: Open bar cruise

Sail to dinner under the stars with drinks both ways

An evening catamaran cruise from St. Thomas to St. John, departing from the Ritz-Carlton Resort's beach with cocktails en route, time to dine at a restaurant you pick, and a full open bar on the return sail home under the stars. The five-hour round trip includes cordials and all fees and taxes.

The experience

The boat leaves the Ritz-Carlton beach at sunset and heads toward St. John with ice-cold cocktails in hand. The 53-foot catamaran carries you across the water while you settle in for the evening, and the crossing itself is part of the experience: no rushed transfer, just the sail and the drinks as the light changes.

Once you reach St. John, you step ashore and choose where to eat. The restaurant is yours to pick, so you're not locked into a set menu or a crowded group table. Dinner happens on your own terms, and the boat waits for your return. After you're done, you board again for the sail back to St. Thomas, where the open bar and cordials keep flowing as you watch the stars come up over the water.

The whole evening runs about five hours from departure to disembarkation back at the resort. On-site parking is available at the Ritz-Carlton if you need it, though you're already starting from the beach.
