Lime Out St. Thomas — named one of TIME Magazine's World's Greatest Places 2026 — is the brand-new second location of the iconic floating taco bar, now anchored in Lindbergh Bay on the West End of St. Thomas. Opened in November 2025, this location brings the beloved Lime Out experience closer to cruise ship ports, hotels, and resorts, making it easier than ever to enjoy gourmet tacos and cocktails while floating in crystal-clear Caribbean water.
Like the original in Coral Bay, St. John, Lime Out St. Thomas is accessible by boat only. Sit on barstools partially submerged in the water or hop onto a lily pad float while enjoying slow-braised short ribs with organic microgreens, jerk-seasoned tuna with chipotle slaw, and signature craft cocktails. It's the same chef-driven menu and unforgettable vibe — now with even more ways to get there.
What Makes St. Thomas Lime Out St. Thomas Special?
Chef-Driven Floating Tacos
Lime Out St. Thomas serves elevated gourmet tacos — slow-braised short ribs with organic microgreens, jerk-seasoned tuna with chipotle slaw, smoked paprika black beans with tri-colored quinoa, and more. Paired with craft cocktails and premium margaritas, it's fine dining on the water.
Lindbergh Bay, West End
Located in Lindbergh Bay near the airport on St. Thomas's West End, the new Lime Out is conveniently close to cruise ship ports, Charlotte Amalie, and major resorts. The turquoise waters and scenic bay make for a stunning backdrop.
Multiple Ways to Get There
Take the Taco Taxi shuttle from Emerald Beach (runs daily with multiple departures), the Taco Tug from Crown Bay Marina on a restored 1980s Navy lifeboat, the Castaway Cat catamaran from Yacht Haven Grande, or book any local charter.
TIME's World's Greatest Places 2026
Lime Out St. Thomas was named one of TIME Magazine's World's Greatest Places 2026 — a testament to its incredible food, one-of-a-kind atmosphere, and the magic of dining while floating in the Caribbean Sea.
How to Get to Lime Out St. Thomas
Lime Out St. Thomas is located in Lindbergh Bay on the West End of St. Thomas and is accessible by boat only — no swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding to the restaurant. There are several convenient ways to get there:
Taco Taxi Shuttle: The quickest option. Departs daily from Emerald Beach (Lindbergh Bay) with multiple departure times from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM. It's a short, scenic ride directly to Lime Out with two hours to enjoy tacos and cocktails before heading back. Book in advance at stttacotaxi.com.
Taco Tug — Turtles & Tacos: A unique experience aboard a restored 1980s U.S. Navy lifeboat departing from Crown Bay Marina twice daily (9 AM–1 PM and 2 PM–6 PM). Includes a scenic island cruise, a snorkel or stop at Honeymoon Beach, and plenty of time at Lime Out. Perfect for cruise ship passengers docking at Crown Bay.
Castaway Cat — Catamaran Excursion: Departs Fridays from Yacht Haven Grande (WICO Ship Dock). Includes a round-trip sailing catamaran ride with turtle snorkeling, gourmet tacos, and craft cocktails. VIP packages available starting at $219/person.
Heavenly Days Catamaran — Bolongo Bay: Departs Saturdays from Bolongo Bay (9:45 AM – 3:00 PM). This award-winning catamaran combines a scenic coastal sail, world-class snorkeling, and a Lime Out stop.
Private Charter: Book any local charter company for a custom trip that includes a Lime Out stop along with snorkeling, beach hopping, or island touring.
The Menu: Elevated Island Cuisine
Lime Out St. Thomas features the same chef-driven menu that made the original famous, with rotating gourmet taco creations. Signature items include slow-braised short ribs with organic microgreens, jerk-seasoned tuna with chipotle slaw, smoked paprika black beans with tri-colored quinoa, and crispy coconut shrimp with lime crema.
The cocktail program is equally impressive — premium margaritas, craft cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices, frozen daiquiris, and rum-based island creations. Non-alcoholic options including lemonade, tamarind, passion fruit, and soursop juices are also available.
