About Cruz Bay Seaplane Base
Cruz Bay Seaplane Base is a waterfront seaplane landing area serving Cruz Bay, the main town on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rather than operating from a conventional runway, it functions as a seaplane base on Cruz Bay Harbour, providing a gateway for inter-island seaplane travel.
Located directly at the Cruz Bay waterfront, the base places arriving passengers within easy reach of the town centre, ferry terminal, hotels, beaches and Virgin Islands National Park. Its position makes it convenient for continuing onward by taxi, ferry or boat.
Seaplane services using the base have connected St. John with other islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the wider region, though scheduled service availability can vary and passengers should confirm current operations before travel.
Because facilities at the seaplane base itself are limited, most passenger amenities, dining, shops and onward transport options are found in nearby Cruz Bay.
