Current DAN recommendations can be found here. Always follow your computer’s recommendation and know your personal limitations.

Water Temps

Water temperatures in the Bahamas fluctuate quite a bit during the year, so be sure to pack the appropriate wetsuits!

Getting to Juliet

We are docked at Museum Park in downtown Miami, just north of the American Airlines Arena. The closest street address is 801 Biscayne Blvd and the entrance to the lot to access the boat is through Maurice Ferre Park at 1075 Biscayne Blvd. You can use this lot to drop luggage if you are driving your own vehicle but there is no long-term parking here.

Arrival, Departure, and Disembarkation

All St. Croix trips depart from the Frederiksted Pier.

• Boarding: Friday starting at 12pm

• Return to the pier: Thursday morning by 7am

Water Temps

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!

Air Travel to St. Croix

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.

• Cape Air (via San Juan or St. Thomas)
• Seaborne (via San Juan or St. Thomas)

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.

About the Virgin Islands

• While US residents do not need a passport to travel to St. Croix, it is recommended that if you have one you should travel with it.
• The Virgin Islands widely accept the US dollar, most major credit cards (Visa, MC, AmEx), and travelers checks.
• Drivers drive on the left on the roads, though lots of the cars are the American left-side drive.
• Your cell phone will most likely work, check with your provider before using your phone to avoid unexpected charges.

Getting to Juliet

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

Water Temperatures

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!

Air Travel to Mayaguez

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.

Getting to Juliet

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.
