My wife and I stayed at Caneel Bay on St. John for our honeymoon 2 years ago. It's located on a nature preserve with multiple beaches for snorkeling. Highly recommended!

I like this idea! I'll have to email them about leaving FROM St. John, not going TO St. John (since that's where we will be. That sunset cruise might be a killer deal!

So much better when done on the deck of a vintage yacht in a cleaned out milk carton and served generously....

Cruzan is on St Croix, didn't feel like riding the Vomit Comet 2 hours to get there.

I pretty much just stayed at the pool, and drank Cruzan dark until Raymond told me I needed to drink Soggy Dollar. Got to say he was right.

Ric, I didn't get to go sailing, but sent my son and his gf on a sunset cruise with Ocean. Just the time I spent at American Harbor as he told us his life story and where he was taking the kids was enough. My son ate it all up, keeps telling everyone who will listen the origin of SHIT

Rained nearly every day, but didn't stop me from doing anything but reading. Got up early and run over to the gym, then battled that hill on the back of the property. Found the Dolphin market to be a quick jaunt that had all the stuff we needed to make dinner most nights. Tried conch fritters, would eat again.

The cars, with the wheel on the correct side, being driven on the wrong side, drove me crazy as a pedestrian!!! I should have tried to get on a fishing boat earlier than the second to last day ;(

Ocean seriously was a highlight of our trip. What a bad ass dude....so many stories and adventures.

Glad you enjoyed your time with him.

Did you go before the last hurricane, where Ocean tells of all the Danish AK-47s getting stolen from a bank or something like that?

Did not hear that story.

But the locals pissed off that his dad was interfering with their dynamite fishing (which was destroying reefs and blowing out snorkelers eardrums) setting the deck of their boat on fire was a good one.

His lore about Epstein's island was fascinating.

And all the around the world sailing adventure stories were great.

I know they were working on a reality show pilot....would be interesting.
