OUR STORY

ABOUT OCEAN SURFARI

From the inshore reefs to where the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea meet, Ocean Surfari in the U.S. Virgin Islands provides unique experiences on the water and high quality apparel to keep your Virgin Islands connection alive.

You can plunge into Caribbean blue waters with a snorkeling adventure and then watch the sun sink into the sea or cast a fishing line for big catches. Plus, you can sport the Virgin Islands vibe anytime anywhere with our custom locally themed performance wear, accessories and keepsakes.

Ocean Surfari is committed to providing the ultimate Virgin Islands experiences and will assure your trip provides lasting memories.

You will see Ocean Surfari shirts, towels, hats, cups and more all over the Virgin Islands. Our gear is hugely popular with visitors and residents alike.

We have four retail locations in the U.S. Virgin Islands, known for our picturesque beaches, duty-free shopping and historic town center of Charlotte Amalie. You can find us at Havensight Mall near the WICO cruise dock, on the Charlotte Amalie Harbor waterfront, in Red Hook village on the East End of St. Thomas, and in Cruz Bay on St. John. Our Red Hook store is the starting point for our snorkeling adventures. Plus, you can feed the monster tarpon there if you like.

You can also book a day of offshore and inshore fishing around the Virgin Islands or take a customized Jeep Surfari adventure around the island.

More than that, we are a mindful and invested partner in the Virgin Islands natural environment and our community with our Let’s Make A Difference campaign with the Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park and our affiliate island partners making sure your USVI experiences are the best they can be now and in the future.

Your best bet to immerse yourself in the Virgin Islands experience is through Ocean Surfari and you can look good doing it in our branded gear.
