Below you will find what information you need to book your travel to Juliet, whether she is in Miami for the Bahamas and Florida Keys Charters, Fredrickstead for St. Croix itineraries, Puerto Rico for Mona Island trips, or St. Thomas for Virgin Islands excursions.

All St. Croix trips depart from the Frederiksted Pier.
Water temperatures in the Caribbean do not fluctuate as much as in the Bahamas or Florida Keys. There is around a 5 degree difference between winter and summer, but summer temps are not quite as warm as Bahamas either. We recommend a 3mm suit for any season in the Virgin Islands – better to bring it and not wear it than not bring it and wish you had!
Months | Temperature | Recommended Wetsuit |
Dec-Apr | 77-80F (25-27C) | 3mm full suit or shorty |
May-Nov | 80-83F (27-29C) | 3mm shorty or skin |
Most major US airlines fly into St. Croix Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) from the US. If you cannot find flights directly into St. Croix, look at flights into San Juan or St. Thomas and then catch one of these local airlines the fly into St. Croix 3-5 times per day.
Email us if you need any advice or assistance with flight info.
If you are flying in the day of departure (Friday) please be sure to include your airline and flight information on your passenger information form so that we know when you will be arriving. If you are arriving well after boarding time, don’t worry. We plan to stay at the Fredricksted Pier and dive throughout the afternoon and evening so even a flight arriving later in the day is ok. If you would like to plan to fly in the day before, please note that St. Croix is not a huge tourist destination and as such hotels are hard to come by and book up years in advance! Please plan ahead.
On your day of return, disembarkation is at 9am. To allow for ample no-fly-time we recommend booking flights that depart after noon to avoid having to cut your diving short on the day before return. Current DAN recommendations can be found here. Always follow your computer’s recommendation and know your personal limitations.
If your flight or check-in time is not until later in the afternoon, you are welcome to leave your luggage on board Juliet while you explore St. Croix until your time of departure. We can help arrange for tour vans and transportation.
The boat is located at the Fredricksted Pier near downtown Fredricksted, about 20 minutes from St. Croix Airport. Just ask any taxi driver to take you to the cruise ship pier. For additional info on taxi rates, see the government controlled rates on this page: St. Croix Taxis & Rates
The following hotels in Frederiksted are open and accepting reservations as of Jan 2021.
All Mona Island trips depart from the port of Mayaguez. See directions below.
Water temperatures in the Caribbean do not fluctuate as much as in the Bahamas or Florida Keys. There is around a 5 degree difference between winter and summer, but summer temps are not quite as warm as Bahamas either. We recommend a 3mm suit for any season in the Puerto Rico – better to bring it and not wear it than not bring it and wish you had!
Months | Temperature | Recommended Wetsuit |
Dec-Apr | 77-80F (25-27C) | 3mm full suit or shorty |
May-Nov | 80-83F (27-29C) | 3mm shorty or skin |
As travel to and from this part of Puerto Rico can be challenging, our departure time is very flexible and we typically depart in the late evenings to accommodate late arrivals. There are many airlines that fly direct into Aguadilla (BQN) from the mainland US, from there it is a 45 minute taxi ride to Mayaguez. Alternatively fly to San Juan (SJU) and take a Cape Air (www.capeair.com) flight from there to Mayaguez (MAZ). Van service can also be arranged from San Juan to Mayaguez but keep in mind it is a 2-3 hour ride at least and the plane ride is probably cheaper!
On your day of return, disembarkation is at 9am. To allow for ample no-fly-time we recommend booking flights that depart after noon to avoid having to cut your diving short on the day before return (keep in mind Cape Air flights do not count towards no-fly time as they never get above 10,000 feet). Current DAN recommendations can be found here. Always follow your computer’s recommendation and know your personal limitations.
The boat is located at the Port of Mayaguez, about 20 minutes from Mayaguez Airport and 45 minutes from Aguadilla. Ask taxi drivers to take you to the Port of Mayaguez, near the address for America Cruise Ferries.
Departing from downtown Miami.
If arriving before boarding time you can drop luggage off on board and explore Miami until it is time to board. Please do not plan to board the boat before 12pm.
Plan your return flights at the end of the trip departing after 12pm noon from Providenciales (PLS). We offer dives until 3pm day before disembarkation, so plan no-fly time accordingly. Current DAN recommendations can be found here. Always follow your computer’s recommendation and know your personal limitations.

This is a tricky one as we will be covering over 500 miles during the more changeable seasons. The Fall trip tends to stay in the mid-to high 70s. See the table below for general recommendations.
