Buck Island

How Far Away Is Buck Island From Dock At St. Thomas

[The Cellar Dweller]

It's small island approximately 15 minutes from the dock. Several years ago did some diving on one side of the island. The island it's self is or at that time it was off limits. You can only dive on one side. There is a ship wreck on the off limit side.

Not far at all. As Cellar said about 15 minutes or so. This is where the Atlantis Submarine was moored when we went.

If going by sailboat, it's more like 45 min to an hour...

Hello Diane,

 

You likely already know this but a few people do get the descriptions and locations of the two same named islands mixed up so thought I'd note that the Buck Island being discussed is the one off of St. Thomas not to be confused with Buck Island Reef National Monument off of St. Croix - which is not an option for a day trip from St. Thomas. :-)

Hi-

 

Just returned from the Turtle Cove Sail and Snorkel on the doubloon. It was about 45 minutes from the pier. Awesome trip!!
