Great experience! Captain was great! I only recommend you consider the travel time and taxi fees from St. Thomas Port. Takes approximately 20 minutes and is approximately $15 a person. Wouldn't be so bad but traveling with 8 people there and back added up quickly! Snorkeling and boat was amazing. Saw lots of fantastic sea creatures.

Bryan was a great captain! We all had a blast. We even had a guest with a wheelchair and he made sure it was very easy for her to get in the water and feel comfortable.
Peaceful, scenic and fun

HIGHLY recommend! Half day is plenty. We have a family of 6 (kids 11-15yrs) and this was the highlight of our trip. We snorkled around an old shipwreck, saw several turtles, tons of fish, went St John and James. Stunning views. Ended the day at Pizza Pi (jumped off the boat and swam to eat on their floating lounge area). ANDREW WAS AWESOME. Great guy, knowledgeable about boat and water safety as well as island history. 1000 out of 10 recommend.
Amazing Andrew

Andrew was a fun captain. He took us to some great places for snorkeling and shared interesting stories about St. Thomas. The boat was excellent and well maintained. Would highly recommend this tour.
