The U.S. Virgin Islands, aka "THE THREE VIRGINS" are considered to be a tropical paradise, these wonderful islands and their surrounding clear and warm waters. The U.S. Virgin Islands consist of three islands; St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John.

St. Croix (population 52,000) is the largest of the three islands and about 35 miles south of St. Thomas. It is the home of the largest oil refinery (Hovensa, L.L.C) in the western hemisphere, but due to the prevailing trade winds, pollution is never a problem.

As a U.S. territory, it enjoys the protection and followship of the United States, but is a world-class duty free shopping port and is exempt from many U.S. Customs laws.

Seven nations flags have flown over this island paradise, where Christopher Columbus landed at Salt River, now a national historic site and Federal park. The Spanish, French, English, Dutch, Knights of Malta, Danes, and the United States have contributed to the heritage of our islands, blending with the native Indians and Africans to form our unique Caribbean culture. 

St.Croix has been called “An Island of Superlatives” by the travel industry. It boasts pristine beaches, the nation’s only underwater National Park at Buck Island, two golf courses including the Robert Trent Jones masterpiece Carambola built by Laurance Rockefeller, and a host of gourmet restaurants.

The scenic beauty of St.Croix is magnificent, the dry east end is dotted with cactus, a huge satellite dish built by NASA for “outer space listening” and even a Contessa’s mountaintop castle. The fertile central land once bore acres of sugar cane and now is the center of the island’s population, and the rain forest of the west end has towering mahogany trees dating back to the 1700s. Hundreds of historic ruins of sugar mills and great houses built of stone and coral are found all over the island.

Whether visiting St.Croix on business or pleasure, via oil tanker, cruise ship, or airline, Star Marine Agency LLC welcomes you to our island home. Ahoy!
