5.00Abbie was a great captain! Got us to all of our best stops - most of the boat was newbies so showing them all around the BVI was great! Palm Tree was very responsive and flexible with our booking.

5.00We did the full day trip to the BVI's. The day could not have been better! Bridgett and Jimmy are so knowledgeable about the area and everything to do and see. We left the day pretty much in their hands and they led us on an unforgettable experience! We will definitely book with them again when we return to St. John. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a day of relaxing and taking in the beautiful scenery and who wants to experience the ultimate beach bar vibe.
Polished service, skilled captain & a perfect day on the water

5.00We did a full day USVI trip with Abbi. She was a fantastic captain and took us to great beaches for swimming and snorkeling. She had excellent local knowledge of each location, advising us where to swim & not swim to avoid sea urchins, etc. The boat was clean and in excellent condition, complete with a Bimini top to use when we needed shade. We stopped at Pizza Pi for lunch which is a fun concept but so popular that there was a bit of a wait - we'd probably skip that if we did it again to maximize our time at the beautiful beaches. A wonderful day and we'd certainly book with Palm Tree Charters again. They were highly recommended to us by a family who books with them every year.
Full Day trip to BVI’s with Jim and Palm Tree Charters

5.00It was a lovely day with a group of friends with a full day trip to the BVI’s. We started out on Jost Van Dyke and had a relaxing visit with Foxy and bought some delicious Rum cake from the super nice local woman on the bay front stand. Jim then took us over to Peter Island, oh what a gorgeous property, and we had a relaxing and delicious lunch with the most incredible surroundings. We headed back to JVD and had a glorious afternoon on White Bay with painkillers from Soggy Dollar Bar.
Fantastic day on the water!

5.00My husband and I met Jimmy a couple years ago in White Bay when he was there with a group on his boat, I tucked his business card away. About a year ago and friend was telling me about a great experience she had on a charter in USVI, it was Jimmy and Palm Tree Charters. So, obviously when we decided to book a charter, we booked with Palm Tree Charters! It was just my husband and I for the day. Our day with Captain Chris was fantastic! We had an idea of where we wanted to go, but were open to suggestions! He asked a few questions to ask what was most important for us to see. After that....he took us on our adventure! We spent the entire day exploring BVI... Tortola, Virgin Gorda. We were able to snorkel, have drinks/food, explore and see so much. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and will definitely book again!
Fantastic day on the water

5.00We had a great time on our snorkel trip! Jasmine was great, she gave us a tour/education about St. John and the different beaches as well as the BVIs. She also gave recommendations for places to try local cuisine. The day of our trip it was bit windy so we had to modify our plans but we still had a great time and would totally do it again!
Sunset cruise to Trunk Bay and Watermelon / Water Lemon Bay

5.00We had such a lovely experience with Abbie on our sunset cruise. The water was choppy and the clouds were being rude, but she did a fantastic job of keeping us in as calm of water and with as good as views as were humanly possible. Will definitely go again the next time we're in St. John!
