Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is still a bar on St Thomas called buzzard bar.
And if so haw far it is from the cruise ship port in St Thomas. I will be visiting there later
this year and would like to go to the bar if it is still there. Also were can i rent jet-skies and
go pairsailing close to the cruise ship port in St Thomas
Thanks Gene
I think you're talking about The Happy Buzzard their phone # is 340-777-8676 that would be kind of a long walk from the cruise dock but possible. I would google VI phone book and look at water sports then call to ask about jet ski or parasail those might not be available in low season.
Hello player170,
There are two cruise ship dock areas: Havensight and Crown Bay. Downtown Charlotte Amalie is between the two, Havensight is to the east of downtown and Crown Bay to the west. Happy Buzzards is somewhat in the middle of the main downtown area, on the waterfront side. A taxi would be $4, pp, ow from the dock to the downtown. Distance, about 1.5 miles from either Crown Bay or Havensight to where Happy Buzzard is located.
Jet skis are available at Coki and Sapphire Beach, unguided. And Bolongo Bay, Sugar Bay and Morningstar guided. Parasailing, you can arrange for pick up at most resort beaches. All would require driving to the beaches from the docks. A parasailing boat might pick up right from the cruise dock if you pre-arrange it, you might check on that option if you wanted to stay around the cruise dock and downtown area. If you wanted to head to the beach click on the drop down menu at the top of this page, just below the long photo, for St. Thomas and select Beaches. You can look at the map and see where they are located and use the north, south links to see photos and read information about the beaches.

Happy Buzzard is no longer, and has been replaced with another version of the same called The Big Kahuna!
