Pizza Pi VI is a one of a kind floating Pizza Parlor on a Sailboat nestled in a protected bay, Christmas Cove, on Great Saint James Island, just east of St Thomas Island, accessible only by boat, in the US Virgin Islands. Pizza Pi serves up fresh large 16" NY style pizza pies while you snorkel with reef fish, turtles & the occasional dolphin.
To order, 11am to 6pm daily, you can call Pizza Pi VI at 340-643-4674 or hit them up on channel 16 on your boat radio as you come into Christmas Cove.

If you do a shot with 4 friends, you can all take the shot at the same time on a one of a kind pizza slice shot ski!
The owners of Pizza Pi found a G.L. Watson designed, 37 foot long aluminum motor sailboat that had been abandoned in Antigua for almost a decade. The yacht's interior had been devoured by termites, leaving a huge mess, but also a blank canvas. The owners spent two years building & restoring the interior of the sailboat. The sailboat has been completely transformed into a custom pizza kitchen where boaters can tie up, dinghy up, or even swim up to grab a pizza, some drinks or even some Pizza Pi VI branded swag. Pizza Pi splashed down into the waters of the Virgin Islands in November of 2014.
There are many options for getting to Christmas Cove on Great Saint James Island. You can charter a boat for the day, half day, or join a scheduled snorkel, bar hop, or sunset cruise. Christmas Cove is a great place to snorkel & anchor for the night if you are doing a week long charter through the Virgin Islands, and for day charters, it's easy to pull up, grab your pizza, and head off to your next island stop.
Pizza Pi VI has served thousands of pizzas to hungry boaters for over 6 years now. Pizza Pi VI is ranked among the top restaurants in the US Virgin Islands according to TripAdvisor. Pizza Pi should be a must visit on your next trip to the Caribbean! Pizza Pi VI loses 2 stars for the most expensive $33 pizzas I've ever had but gains a star for coolest pizza spot on a Sailboat and for fun pizza shot ski so it's a bit of a toss up. Our day at Pizza Pi VI was expensive but was really fun. Pizza Pi VI may be the only floating Pizza Parlor Sailboat but it is more than just a tourist stop and is some of the best but most expensive pizza in the Caribbean!
