What To Expect
Embark on a 7-hour boat excursion from American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook, St. Thomas, and discover the natural beauty and island charm of St. John and its surrounding cays. Cruise across turquoise waters with stunning views of the Virgin Islands before arriving at your first stop—Lovango Cay—a private island oasis where you can snorkel vibrant reefs or relax at the upscale beach club. Continue along St. John’s lush north shore to Honeymoon Beach, perfect for paddleboarding and swimming in calm waters. Then head to Maho Bay, where sea turtles feed in shallow seagrass beds—ideal for snorkeling right from the boat. After exploring St. John’s scenic coastline, cruise to Christmas Cove off St. James Island. Known for its calm anchorage and colorful reefs, it’s a great spot to snorkel or enjoy a laid-back lunch from the famous floating restaurant, Pizza Pi, serving fresh pizza directly to your boat. Throughout the journey, enjoy complimentary drinks, a stop for lunch either onboard or at a beachside eatery, and personalized service from your captain and crew. Whether you’re snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the views, this excursion offers an unforgettable day.

5.00Alex and Liv were personable, professional sailors and guides. They were extremely knowledgeable of the area and provided my family with the most amazing experience in St. Thomas, USVI. Snorkeling the reefs, visiting the pristine beaches and seeing a variety of underwater marine life added to the enjoyment of sailing the open water and viewing the natural sights. The stop for lunch had the most delicious fish tacos. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fun-filled experience. Thanks again, Alex and Luv. You will see us again.
BEST, BEST, BEST!

5.00Don’t wait any longer - book this charter!! We came in for a port day on our cruise and took a taxi to the yacht harbor in Redhook. The Harbor has a great little coffee shop to grab a quick snack before heading out. JW and Liv were absolutely amazing showing us all of their favorite places around the islands - including beaches only accessible by water. Both JW and Liv made sure that we had an amazing time and we are grateful for them!!!
Would do it again tomorrow!

5.00We had the best time. Wallins/Lindsey were incredible captains/crew. So service oriented and made the trip so much fun. The boat was squeaky clean. We snorkeled with turtles and sting rays, drank delicious rum punch and had the absolute best day. 10/10

5.00Had a wonderful time on the very comfortable Pauhana (sp?) with captain Anne-Marie and first mate Olivia. Great snorkeling. Delicious rum punch. Highlight of the trip: Anne-Marie led us to our first ever octopus sighting (off Water Island). First-mate, Olivia, couldn't have been lovlier/more helpful.
It was the best time!

5.00My adult children (22, 28, 30 yrs), my father (89 yrs), and my husband and I (~60 yrs) absolutely loved our time boating with JW and Phillip around the US Virgin Islands. We spent our afternoon sitting on the front of the boat as we toured the islands, with a drink in hand, learning about our surroundings and their history. We loved the snorkeling - so many beautiful fish, sea urchins, and even a very harmless shark (but so exciting to see). JW and Phillip kept us safe, entertained, and well cared for. So beautiful and so fun. Definitely a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.
Awesome Excursion!

5.00We did two boat trips in one week with this company since we had such a great time. Our second trip we checked out Buck Island, Water Cay and just sailed around. Captin JP and Eduardo were excellent. If you have this crew, ask Eduardo to play his ukulele for you and Jp might even play the guitar. Eduardo is very educated on marine life and took us on an excellent snorkel - we even saw a shark! Seas the Day is very professional, timely and easy to get to. Highly recommend!
