The only way onto the water in Magen’s Bay

Kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and more, rented right on the sand — steps from the calmest, clearest water on St. Thomas.

Walk up, push off, and go find the wildlife.

Pedal Kayaks
$35.00

Steer with your feet and keep your hands free for the camera. Glide farther with less effort — the easy way out to Little Magens and back, no paddling required.

Five ways into the water

Paddleboards
$35.00

Wide, steady, and beginner-friendly on Magens' flat water. Stand up and see straight to the bottom.

Single Kayaks
$30.00

A stable sit-on-top built for one. Perfect for a solo glide out to the turtles or a lap along the shoreline.

Sunfish
$45.00

Catch the breeze across the bay in a classic single-sail Sunfish. Easy to learn, a thrill once you've got it — the most wind you'll have all day.

EST. 1976

Fifty years ago, Glenn Higgins put the first boats on this sand.
