We had used Stormy pirates before and loved it so we were excited to book with them again! We traveled with our 4 teens and another family with 2 teens. Everyone had a great day on the water! Dave was very knowledgeable about the island and did a great job finding us some great snorkel spots! Would highly recommend Stormy Pirates!!

Captain David was the best. He was friendly, entertaining and a great captain! He also had an awesome playlist! Make sure to ask for him on your trip!

Our December 2025 six-hour private 37" Axopar charter was the highlight of our 8 night vacation. We opted to go with Stormy Pirates instead of a cruise excursion because we were 1 of 5 ships docked in St Thomas & wanted to avoid large crowds & chaos. From the moment I reached out to Stormy Pirates I was confident that I had found a trustworthy/reputable company. Booking a private charter was by far the best decision I could have made! Communication pre-tour was perfect; we worked together to create a custom tour that would appeal to our family of 5 (3 adults kids 18, 21, 23). We arranged transportation from the cruise port ahead of time (recommended by Stormy Pirates). Instructions and directions for day-of were emailed in advance so when we checked in and stepped on the boat, everything was flawless - including a personal drop off (well worth the $) right by our cruise ship for the ultimate convenience at the end of our 6 hour day. Tara our amazing Captain met us at the office with a huge smile and we instantly knew that we were in for an unforgettable day! The boat was super nice, and we loved cutting through the water at high speed while the music set the vibe for an amazing day. We snorkeled in and around caves, and Pizza Pi; couldn't pass the opportunity to grab a cocktail, and visited the stunning Lovango Resort and Beach Club for lunch and shopping. Captain TARA... We loved her! She was incredibly fun, knowledgeable & deeply passionate about the islands. She shared fascinating history & gave us a true insiders tour that made every stop even more special. We finished out the day with amazing family photos (thanks Tara) & a seaplane that flew directly overhead as we pulled into dock right by our cruise ship. No stress getting back in time for the ships departure, tons of pics, laughter; relaxation, it was truly a perfect day filled with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Tara and the the Stormy Pirates Team! We can't wait to return for our next trip with you!

( this is not our first private charter) We chartered an 8 hour snorkeling tour for my grandson, daughter and myself. We went to spots in St John hard to get to by car. Lunch at the new Lime Out in St. Thomas and Water Island ended the day. Our Captain Tara was so amazing, knowledgeable and helpful. It will be hard to go with anyone else.

My family had an amazing time with Tara touring the USVI. She took us to some spots that were new to us on the East End of St. John and some orher great spots for snorkeling at Buck Island and St. Thomas. We felt at home on the boat and she had a phenomenal yachting playlist. Thanks Tara!

The whole day was perfect! Our captain John and his mate Kevin were very interactive and informative. We cruised around the islands getting some history of each, snorkeled in a couple places with Kevin jumping in to highlight different things, and enjoyed delicious pizza from the pizza boat. We could not have asked for a better St. Thomas experience. Thank you!

Captain Dave is the best! We had such a great time on the water with him. 5 stars for the bearded captain! We did the local charter, and he took us to all the best spots.

Last week our family went on a cruise that stopped in St. Thomas, and we booked a private charter with Stormy Pirates after a recommendation from a captain we had used on a previous trip. They operate a beautiful 37’ Axopar, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the start, communication was fast, clear, and professional. They laid out all the details ahead of time and made sure we had everything we needed, which made the day completely stress-free. Our crew—Captain Dave and first mate Kevin—were outstanding. They were funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. Captain Dave even had a great playlist going, which added to the relaxed vibe. We went snorkeling and saw amazing sea life, including turtles, and they had snorkeling gear and noodles for our entire family of nine. Beyond the snorkeling, we learned a lot about the history and geography of St. John and St. Thomas, thanks to the stories and insights they shared along the way. The water got a little choppy on the return trip, but Captain Dave handled it with total confidence and skill. They provided beer, soda, and a great rum punch, and we even made a stop at Pizza Pi, which was a fun bonus. Every detail—from their recommended transportation to payment—was handled smoothly and professionally. I would absolutely recommend Stormy Pirates to anyone looking for a high-quality alternative to cruise ship excursions. While the price may seem a bit higher at first, it is truly a great value for a private, personalized, and memorable experience. We would book with them again without hesitation.

My wife and I booked a private charter. All was excellent and our captain Brandon was terrific. He set up a great music mix and attended to all our needs. Management booked the charter very easily. Very good company to work with.
