Waterfront
St. Croix Yacht Club members are both recreational boaters and racing sailors. The St. Croix Yacht Club offers year round races and one design series for our fleet of Optimist prams, Sunfish, Lasers, Club 420s and Rhodes 19. Beach cat storage is available on the lenghty sandy beach and storage racks are provided for kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Not all St. Croix Yacht Club members are boat owners, or may be between boats. When not tagging along to Buck Island with boat owners or serving on race committee, they have the opportunity to use the Club owned Sunfish and Rhodes 19, once they have passed their “check out”.
Or they may prefer to just lime on the beach, enjoying a few cocktails.
