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.

5.00We 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!
Wonderful experience!

5.00Wonderful crew and a wonderful experience! JP and Eduardo were excellent, relaxed, informative, helpful hosts. We saw sea turtles and ate at a floating restaurant (Lime Out). My daughter got to help steer the boat, and we knew we were in good hands the entire time. Highly recommend!

5.00My husband and I took 3 of our grandsons. We had a great time. JP (captain) was very informative, friendly, took us to great spots, grandsons asked a ton of questions which JP was able to answer all of them. The boys talked about him a lot on the way home. Would definitely recommend him and your charter.

3.00Nice half day trip.. captain was pleasant, nice and helpful. Simple trip for half a day and could do what we wanted which was nice. Overall good experience. The down side is given the amount of money per unit time, you pay for gas as an add on and the optional tips not expected but appreciated is a little misleading. Also paid extra for pickup. Expensive trip which is fine but the fine print of gas being added on and tip percent “appreciated “a little much. I unfortunately missed the expected tip amount percent and grabbed the wrong amount of cash which complicated my mistake. Captain texted after the fact that the tip amount indicated that we were unsatisfied customers. Went ahead and made them where they expected to be but found that interaction petty and making one feel cheap. Given price tag of this trip,I don’t see that. If they ask you what you do for a living, tell them a shepherd. Overall safe company but I’ll do a better job next time. Be better to include everything up front but I’m no expert on these matters and doubt anyone does that. Dampened my vacation experience for sure. Thank you
