Pedal a floating bar to white sand, then swim with sea turtles

You’ll pedal (or just relax) your way from St Thomas to Water Island on a cycleboat with rum punch in hand and music in the air. Swim at Honeymoon Beach, try your luck at limbo or just float under palm trees before heading back with new friends—and maybe a little sand still stuck between your toes.

The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the sound—music bouncing off the water as we climbed onto the cycleboat at the Charlotte Amalie waterfront. Our guide, Marcus, handed out these plastic tumblers already sweating with cold rum punch (I tried not to spill mine right away). The seats are set up around a bar, and you actually pedal together—like a weird gym class but with better views and drinks. I could smell sunscreen and salt air, and someone behind me was already laughing too loud. It felt like summer camp for grownups.

We started pedaling toward Water Island, though honestly I think the motor did most of the work once people got distracted by a limbo contest (my back still remembers that). Marcus kept us entertained with stories about local sea turtles—he swears he knows them by name—and pointed out where cruise ships docked across the bay. The sun was hot but there was this breeze that made it all feel easy. I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed just floating along on a party bike-boat thing.

When we pulled up near Honeymoon Beach, you could see the sand almost glowing against the blue water. Some people swam straight in; I took my time, watching pelicans dive while sipping more punch (maybe too much). There’s a little beach bar where Li from our group tried ordering in broken Spanish—got a laugh from the bartender but still got her drink. We had maybe an hour or so to swim, wander under palm trees, or just sit and watch everything slow down for a bit. Heading back to St Thomas, everyone seemed a little sunburned and happy—music louder now somehow. I still think about that view when things get noisy at home.

What’s included

Your trip includes bottled water, plenty of fun (seriously), rum punch served in reusable tumblers, coolers packed with ice for any BYOB drinks you want to bring along, and a Bluetooth stereo so there’s always music as you cruise between St Thomas and Water Island before returning later that day.
