Cruz Bay Watersports is the USVI's largest and longest-running charter operator, in business for 30+ years and now part of RED Hospitality Group — the same hospitality operator that manages watersports for the Ritz-Carlton and Westin resort collection. That resort-integration is why CBW has the deepest multi-resort pickup network in the Virgin Islands.
Their range is what sets them apart: private full-day yacht charters, per-person snorkel adventures, BVI day trips (Jost Van Dyke, The Baths, Pizza Pi), sunset sails, jet ski rentals, catamaran cruises, dinner boats, and specialty runs to Lime Out. Pickups run from Ritz-Carlton, Westin Frenchman's Reef, Westin St. John, Hampton by Hilton, and STT Airport — no long resort transfers.
These are day sails and overnight trips, not week-long crewed or bareboat charters. For multi-day options, see overnight and term charters.
What Makes US Virgin Islands Cruz Bay Watersports Special?
20+ Tours Across the USVI

Board from the Ritz-Carlton, Westin St. John, Westin Frenchman's Reef, Hampton by Hilton, STT Airport, and more.
BVI Day Trips

About Cruz Bay Watersports & RED Hospitality
Cruz Bay Watersports has been running charters across the U.S. Virgin Islands for over 30 years — long enough to have shaped a lot of what modern USVI charter tourism looks like. They started in Cruz Bay, St. John and have grown into the largest and most logistically capable operator in the region.
Today they operate under RED Hospitality Group — the parent hospitality company that also runs the watersports concessions for the Ritz-Carlton and Westin resort collection in the USVI. That integration is exactly why guests staying at those properties board steps from their room, with resort-charged pricing, instead of navigating a taxi and a marina.
Their scale is the other differentiator. Where most operators run one or two boats, Cruz Bay Watersports fields an extensive fleet of powerboats, sailing catamarans, jet skis, and dinner vessels — enough to match almost any group size, budget, or itinerary with the right hull. Direct booking: (340) 244-1493 · (866) 539-0918.
Signature Trips & Fleet
BVI Full-Day Trips: Full-day journeys to Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island (The Caves, Willy T), and Virgin Gorda (The Baths). Passport required.
Private Powerboat Charters: Fully customized full- and half-day charters for groups up to ~12 guests.
Sailing Catamaran Cruises: Spacious sailing catamarans for larger groups, celebrations, and guests who want the classic Caribbean sailing experience.
Per-Person Adventures: Budget-friendly per-person snorkel and beach trips — great for solo travelers and small groups.
Jet Ski Tours & Rentals: Guided jet-ski tours around St. Thomas and St. John with instructor support.
Sunset Sails: Late-afternoon catamaran and powerboat sunset trips.
Dinner Cruises: Signature dinner boats with onboard meal service.
Specialty Stops: Runs to Pizza Pi (the floating pizzeria) and Lime Out (floating tacos) — two of the most photographed food stops in the Caribbean.
Best Cruz Bay Watersports Trip For Your Group
Traveling solo or as a couple: their per-person snorkel adventures and sunset sails are the most affordable way to get on the water.
Family of 4–8: a private powerboat charter to Lovango, Waterlemon, or Trunk Bay hits the classic USVI beach-and-snorkel day.
Larger group of 10+ or a celebration: book a sailing catamaran for the space, shade, and stability.
Bachelor(ette) or milestone birthday: pair the BVI full-day trip with a stop at Willy T or Soggy Dollar — passport required.
Adventure-forward group: a guided jet-ski tour or a Lime Out taco day gives a completely different pace than a standard charter.
