Day trips to BVI from St. Croix?

Are there companies that will take you from St. Croix to the BVI's for a day trip? i'm not sure how far apart they are.

Thanks!

St. Croix is set farther out from the other Virgin Islands. It is approximately 40 nautical miles or more away. There are fast boat ferries and planes from St. Croix to St. Thomas, and St. Thomas is the gateway to the BVI's. I don't know of any direct transportation from St. Croix to BVI's. Search the web under "Interisland ferry St. Thomas St. Croix U.S.V.I."

I used to live on St. Croix and there used to be a few inter-island airlnes that went to BVI; however it's been 8 years; but much quicker than water taxi or ferry.

There is no single company, but Seaborne Airlines has a package with the ferry companies to the BVI that you can purchase: http://www.seaborneairlines.com/. I did a day trip from STX to Tortola on my last trip and had a blast. You take the Seaplane from STX to STT, then the ferry from STT to Tortola. They are right next to each other in Charlotte Amalie.

We loved the flight on the small seaplane (what a view!).

On the other hand, there is a ton to do on St. Croix, you might just want to explore all that the island has to offer.
