Cruz Bay Watersports Sues El Conquistador Resort for Unpaid Ferry Services

After over two years of getting the runaround, Cruz Bay Watersports has decided to sue the owners of El Conquistador Resort over an unpaid invoice dating back to 2021.

On Thursday, the matter was transferred from the territory’s Superior Court where it had been originally filed in January to the District Court of the Virgin Islands

The watersports company had been contracted to “provide daily ferry services” from St. John to Fajardo, Puerto Rico “for Defendant’s hotel guests, employees, contractors, agents, and other personnel,” according to the lawsuit. The terms of the agreement reportedly stipulate that El Conquistador would have to pay daily fees for captain and mate, as well as reimburse Cruz Bay Watersports for the costs of all preventative maintenance performed on the vessel being used as the ferry.
