The ocean & beaches combined with great year-round summer weather make watersports super popular for residents and also visitors. Whether you want to try flying high in the sky with parasailing or are looking to enjoy some speed with waverunners, you’ll have no problem finding them on St. John.

Regardless of your size or weight there is a board for you. Weekly rentals include complimentary villa delivery and pickup. Plus, visitors can now try SUP Yoga Lessons and LED Night Paddles.
Henley Cay Kayak & Snorkel Adventure
Henley Cay is one of St John’s premier snorkeling spots. Kayakers and snorkelers love the challenge of a 20 minute paddle across Caneel Bay from Honeymoon Beach to Henley Cay, which is part of the VI National Park. The protected beach is filled with colorful coral reefs full of schools of fish and other marine life. You’ll see flocks of seabirds overhead and even be able to feed those that come by. Looking for a longer adventure? Consider upgrading to a five-hour tour that includes lunch.
Wharfside Watersports
Wharfside Watersports provides visitors with an unforgettable day on the water. (Or multiple, you might get hooked!) They have something to offer everyone, including dinghy rentals, bareboats, zodiac experiences, captained boat charters, and more.
Parasail Virgin Islands
With Parasail Virgin Islands you’ll be taken out into St. John waters on a 35-foot specially built parasailing vessel. Equipped for a dry landing and takeoff, you don’t even have to get wet when enjoying your ride over the Caribbean ocean. Participants get to enjoy 8-10 minutes soaring above the crystal clear water below. You can also choose to ride as an observer for a lower price than other parasailing guests. There is even a photo package option if you want to capture all the high-flying moments on camera.
