The St. Croix Yacht Club has been a proud sponsor for the Coral Reef Swim for over 20 years! Our members along with the USCG, DPNR, Parks Service and the Buck Island Charter companies make sure the race happens safely every year. This year is unique! Maria is not holding us back from showing all these off island tourists that St. Croix is still alive. Maria damaged and 3 of our 6 safety boats that anchor along the course so the 150+ swimmers can use them sight on. We have also lost some of our volunteers as they evacuated the island.
Race is Sunday, November 5, 7am-12
