5.00Good communication and fantastic day on the water with captain Vic. Hit several good snorkeling spots and fun stop at floating pizza boat for lunch. Much better experience than going with a large tour company. Yes, it is a little more expensive, but if you can swing it you won’t be disappointed
Awesome boat, Fabulous crew- a great day on and in the water.

5.00Superb experience, knowledgeable captain Andrew, great locations for snorkeling, information great about surrounding beaches, fancy mansions on the mountain side, PLUS the weather was fantastic. Small group made family time very interactive. We did wish that the floating restaurants were available for lunch, but completely understand due to hurricane season.

5.00Go no where else. Straight here. I cannot express how impressed I was with Captain Bryan and his professionalism. To be a young man and have the level of his mariner skills along with his ability to make sure the customer is having a top notch experience is unbelievable. I would hire this man for my company just based on what I seen yesterday. He impressed me and as a small business owner, that doesn't happen too often in today's workforce. Just book with this company and ask for Captain Bryan. Then relax and have fun.
Highlight of our trip!

5.00My husband and I had a fantastic time on a full-day charter with Bonus Time Charters. Captain Andrew was the best. His boat was clean, and we felt completely safe with him taking us around the island and surrounding cays. He tailored the day to our interests and skill level. Andrew took us to about 7 snorkel spots in the St. John area, including several spots you can’t reach by shore. He was very knowledgeable about each of the snorkel spots and told us what to look for. We saw an abundance of fish, two spotted eagle rays cruising together, a reef shark, southern stingrays, tarpon, sea turtles, and a lot of soft coral and sponges. Another highlight was visiting a floating pizza restaurant in Christmas Cove for lunch. The day with Andrew was a highlight of our trip. We would definitely book him again if we come back to St. John.
Wonderful Day + Experience!

5.00We had a group of 7 women on this trip and it was AMAZING!! Captain Andrew was wonderful, very professional but laid back and fun. Gave us tons of information throughout the trip. We went from Red Hook and he took us all around St. John, including Lime Out! We saw TONS of sea turtles and marine life!! We all agreed that we would love to do this again and if we could have done this trip every day we were at St. Thomas, we would. Overall this experience was 10/10 and we would definitely be back!!
