The small intimate group gives you such a personal experience no other ship can provide. This was my second trip with Max Tours. I will continue to book with them for any future trip.

Everything about this experience was incredible! The crew truly goes above and beyond. This trip was absolutely one of those experiences with my son we’ll both treasure forever and seek out again very soon.

We had a great day sailing with Captain TC and Casey. The day was super relaxed more like going out for a day with friends. Casey did a great job helping us find all the sea animals we were hoping to see, and while some of that is luck a lot was also knowledge of the area. We would definitely book again with them. 100% would recommend.

We booked a full day sail with Max charters, and it FAR exceeded expectations! Passenger limit is six people, so we had our family of four and a very nice retired couple. First mate Casey immediately got us set up with drinks as we sailed our way out to Lovango Bay. She walked our group through how to snorkel properly (daughters' first time!) and everyone had an amazing time with numerous turtles, fish, rays, and coral. Captain took us to our next location, off of Great St. James, where we saw even more turtles, a shipwreck, and had fantastic cocktails on board. Cap'n has been in the Islands almost his whole life, and knows everything about sailing and the waters around the Virgin Islands. He even let our daughter "sail" the boat for a while! We finished up snorkeling near Pizza Pi, the floating pizza restaurant, as Casey made us an amazing, cooked-on-board lunch that was some of the best food we'd had all week. Max Charters does custom, days-long sails around the islands, and we're absolutely considering them for our next big trip to St. Thomas! Five stars, wish we were back on board right now!

With a small group we were treated like great friends instead of clients. From the moment we met Bob and Kelsey (our hosts) we were engaged and felt like a day on the water with old friends!

We had a fabulous time on our day trip with Max charters. The experience, the food, the vessel, and especially the crew were top-notch. This is the best experience we've had in any port.

This was hands down the best experience ever!!!! We went to two secluded beaches where we were able to see SO much wildlife! My partner and I enjoyed just hanging on the boat and swimming. Casey was so knowledgeable and nice! She pointed out all the wildlife and was so patient with my partner who hadn't snorkeled in a while. Will definitely book again!!!!! Worth every. Single. Penny. !!!!!!

We absolutely loved our full day of sailing and snorkeling with Captain Tim and Sharon as his crew. The boat was a perfect size for the six guests on board. Plenty of room to move about and chill out. They took us to three snorkeling locations that had plenty of fish and we even saw a sea turtle. Lunch was delicious. Tim grilled some marinated chicken and also had a pasta salad. There were plenty of drinks but the rum punch was the best. On our way back there was enough wind for us to actually sail. It was great. We definitely recommend going on a tour with Max Charters.
