US Virgin Islands Tennis at the The Buccaneer

The Buccaneer Hotel
A Virgin Island Luxury Resort Hotel


The Buccaneer features eight Laykold courts, two lit for night play. Tennis magazine has called The Buccaneer "the best tennis resort in the Virgin Islands". A fully-stocked pro shop provides top-of-the-line equipment and stringing services. The site of several annual tournaments appropriate for guests' participation, The Buccaneer specializes in pairing up players for enjoyable matches year 'round. Weekly round robins, and doubles drills for ladies, cardio clinics and other seasonal clinics are scheduled for guests.

Tennis Director Don deWilde has been there 30 years, far longer than any resort pro anywhere in the islands, and a longevity that seems appropriate at a family run resort.

A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Don bounced around a few Caribbean resorts before finding his home on the sunny shores of St. Croix. Don feels two things make tennis at The Buccaneer special: the opportunity to play outdoors 365 days a year in the spectacular setting, and the clientele.
