Island Roots

Customize your island experience on Island Roots, a 25’ power catamaran hailing from Coral Bay. Navigating the waters of the British and US Virgin Islands, Island Roots specializes in snorkel trips to the most popular as well as out-of-the-way spots. Let US Coast Guard-certified Captain John Stewart, a life-long sailor and underwater naturalist, safely guide your exploration of the islands, both above the water and undersea. Spend the day in a Caribbean paradise surrounded by clear aqua waters, vibrant sea life and pristine beaches.

BVI ESCAPE

Enhance your St. John vacation with a day trip to the incomparable British Virgin Islands. Departing from St. John, we clear customs at legendary Sopers Hole. After this brief official stop on Tortola’s quaint West End, begin your island adventure. Dive into the crystalline waters of The Indians for premiere snorkeling. Then consider exploring the remarkable Caves on Norman Island. How about lunch at the Willie T or Cooper Island Yacht Club? We can explore the secured snorkels of Peter and Salt Islands. Or let’s circle back towards Jost van Dyke. Snorkel Sandy Cay and catch a glimpse of the amazing kite boarders. Duck into Foxy’s for a cool beer and come away with an island T-shirt. Around the point at White Bay, chill out at Ivan’s Stress-free Bar or grab a pain killer at the Soggy Dollar. Baking in the sun or swinging in shady a hammock, beach watching makes for a relaxing afternoon. If you prefer to stretch your legs, take an eco hike through the salt ponds; then hop over to Foxy’s Taboo for a tropical fruity cool drink. Sun kissed and island satiated, we return to customs in Cruz Bay.
