History
Established in 2016.
Molly's is an off shoot of St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures (SCUBA) a watersports center on St. Croix for almost 20 years. When SCUBA started adding onto their already great selection of t-shirts and swim suits by starting to carry some higher end brand names such as Columbia and RVCA, the name ScuBoutique came about. Several years later as ScuBoutique grew even more they found that some people just couldn't wrap their brains around buying higher end tropical sportswear from a dive shop. Since Molly Buckley who, along with her husband Ed, own SCUBA is the buyer it was only natural that the name became Molly's a Tropical Boutique.
Meet the Business Owner: Molly B.
I've worked in retail just about all my life including a stint as a record store manager in Georgia while attending Auburn University.
After graduation I went into the airline business working my way up with Eastern Express (Eastern Airlines' code share partner in Atlanta and San Juan) from gate agent, to Station Manager to Director of Yield Management. Eastern's demise led to the closing of their Atlanta division while keeping the Caribbean division open. I moved to St. Croix to manage their yield management systems. My, now, husband Ed also worked for the airline and taught scuba on the side. I was his first student and we were soon married.
When the airline closed its doors, not wanting to leave St. Croix, we went full-time into the scuba business by managing V.I. Divers and then opening our own dive shop, St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures. As much as I love diving, my true passion lies in selecting the sportswear that visitors and locals alike will look good wearing.
