The 13 Best Sunset Cruises in St Thomas

13 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $59

The last hour of light off the south shore is the cheapest luxury on the island. These 13 sails leave from Sapphire, Frenchman’s and the Marriott docks, and they vary more than you would think on drinks, food and how many are aboard.
