We took a Stormy Pirates Charter for a great visit to the Baths, Coopers Island and the Indians. We have been using these charters for over 15 years and they never disappoint. Captain Cornelius kept us safe and First Mate Maeve (soon to be Captain Maeve) kept us fed and hydrated, and was a wealth of information during the tour. As a long time customer, I highly recommend Stormy Pirates Charters!
Amazing private tour of BVI’s with snorkeling - thanks to Stormy Pirates!

Kenny & Susanna were AWESOME! They did a super job of getting us to the BATHS and JOST VAN DYKE. They took us snorkeling and gave us great information and legends of the islands! Not to mention, we had coolers full of yummy drinks and water for our crazy family! Thanks guys for giving us a wonderful day!

We were so blessed that Stormy Pirates was very accommodating with our group when we showed up a week early (my mistake with booking the wrong day) and fit us in later in the week. Briana was so helpful figuring that out and then suggesting what we should do that day. Brandon and Robin came in on their day off to captain our trip and I can't say enough good things about both of them. They are very good at what they do. Robin was so kind and attentive to our needs. And she definitely got us to the Baths and through the hike on time. Make sure you take her up on the suggestion to pre order your lunch before the hike so that there is no wait once you get back to the restaurant. Norman Island snorkel is amazing! Some of the best we have ever done. And again, the suggestion for the adults to use noodles instead of a life jacket made it much easier to float and get around. Great trip that our entire group enjoyed! Thank you all again.
Great way to experience the Baths!

Overall Awesome trip! The lunch at Cooper was a letdown and was a waste. Even though we had preordered, it still took way too long, and many mistakes were made by the servers on that island. It used up 100% of the time spent there, no time to even look at anything during the stop. Food there was not good and it was very extensive. Everything else was terrific. Capt Brandon, Jackson and Grant were very good hosts.

Such an amazing time! I went solo and felt so welcomed by the captain, Cornelius, and first mate, Jackson. On the trip, Jackson was very informative about all the islands and nature around as well as a phenomenal bartender. He is very attentive with everyone on board with their needs, drinks, and questions. All activities were a blast and a great way to see part of the BVI. 10/10 would recommend.
Excellent Day with Stormy Pirates!

Our boat tour, captained by Brandon, and crewed by Maeve and Maggie was amazing. They were friendly and informative but not over-bearing. Their guided walking tour of The Baths was great and gave us some spectular views and fascinating history of the area. Lunch on Cooper's Island was delicious! The snorkeling at Norman's Island was some of the best that we've ever had and was a beautiful time. We highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful trip aAnd Excellent Company

Captain Dave and Jackson were super hosts and guides. Both of them have the perfect personality and characteristics that allow them to be excellent at their job. They are incredibly friendly and polite and extremely helpful in all situations. Jackson led us on the hike to the Baths and was very informative and patient; allowing everyone in our group to really enjoy the visit and he was great at taking pictures for all of us. The entire experience was well organized and top notch. Stormy Pirates is extremely professional and makes sure that you have all of the information that you need and is great at checking in with you. The directions to the check in site are crystal clear and very easy to locate. This was a great excursion and I highly recommend Stormy Pirates along with Captain Dave and Jackson.
The best day!

This was hands down the best way to see everything we wanted in the BVI while on vacation. Capt Dave and Jackson were great!! Super friendly, very knowledgeable and knew the best spot to snorkel both on the trip and back on St Thomas. Thank you both for spotting the turtle while we were snorkeling!! 10/10 the best!!
