About St. Thomas Water Sports
St. Thomas Water Sports is a full-service watersports operator based at Marriott's Frenchman's Cove on the south shore of St. Thomas. Their beachfront location sits in a sheltered cove with calm, clear water — perfect conditions for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing right off the sand.
The company runs an impressive range of activities: LED-illuminated after-dark kayak tours through the harbour, full-day catamaran sail-and-snorkel excursions, guided SUP tours, yacht sailing experiences, and equipment rentals for guests who want to explore independently. Their night kayak programme uses clear-bottom kayaks fitted with underwater LED light systems, attracting tarpon, squid, and other marine life that glow beneath the hull — a genuinely unique experience in the Virgin Islands.
Operating from a resort base gives St. Thomas Water Sports a polished feel without the stiffness. The guides are enthusiastic locals who know every reef and current in the area, and the gear is well-maintained and modern. Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead is recommended for the popular sunset and night tours. For hotel guests and visitors staying in the Frenchman's Reef area, this is the most convenient watersports hub on the island.
