We visited as part of an excursion with Big Beard and really enjoyed the day. You can only explore a little. We anchored and practiced snorkeling off the island for 45 min prior to visiting the reef and snorkeling there just off Buck Island.

Beautiful island with an amazing beach. Gets very busy with local tour boats. But, still worth it. No bars or restaurants so bring a picnic with food and drinks. Beautiful sand and water. Highly recommend.

The Best Day trip Ever on the “Renegade”, Full day with a friend to Buck Island, which has a World-class White Beach with Chrystal Clear Turquoise Waters and Great Snorkeling ! Followed by a short sail trip to another beach for a rustic lunch, “Pirates Atmosphere” with “Rum-Punch” under an old Sail for shade. Great Crew, very attentive, helpful, proactive and Safety Conscious! Thank you Bigbeards!

Captain Ally and her crew(Morgan and Cece) were first class from push off. We were never rushed and the snorkeling produced turtles, a cuda, stingrays and more fish than we could count. I don’t want anyone else to find out about St Croix. Don’t go!

Great fun if you are a snorkeler. We are very new and it was a bit rough for us, but we had a great time once we got to the beach part (Second half of the trip). First half is on the reef trail, in about 9 feet of water. It was a little choppy, and we were not prepared or maybe "comfortable" snorkeling at that point - with the life vest around us, it made it extra uncomfortable and awkward for me, personally, and my partner panicked and wasn't able to float properly, so we didn't want to slow down the group. We really should not have tried so soon (It was seriously only our second time snorkeling) - It was something we should have saved for the end of our trip, since I could probably snorkel home to Florida now! We watched the others and learned from their technique and the men on the boat were VERY patient. They were very willing to do what it took to take us along, since our group was small. Excellent experience overall, as we learned a lot. At the beach, we snorkeled quite a bit and saw tons of fish and rays, and rumors of a lemon shark, but we didn't see him. No turtles!

We stopped at Buck Island beach as part of a snorkeling charter. Beautiful. I see why the turtles would want to stay! It was not nesting season, but we did see a few turtles as we got near the shore line. I loved seeing all the “Rescued” Conch shells on the beach. We also had a great time with Ally’s Crew. The water was a bit rough, But we still we able to follow our guide To the reef markers. I saw barracuda Fish and a beautiful leapord spotted Sting ray! Lots of beautiful, colorful Fish.
