Stormy Pirates Boat Charters

Stormy Pirates Boat Charters operates from Red Hook, St. Thomas, offering a fleet of private and shared charters across the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. The company runs a variety of vessels including a luxury sailing catamaran for full- and half-day trips, 37' Axopar boats for sunset and private cruises, a 27' Hydra Sport for small-group charters, and a 55' power catamaran called Gorda Pirate for large private events. Trips depart from St. Thomas and frequent the Northern Shore of St. John, Christmas Cove, Maho Bay, Honeymoon Beach, and other popular anchorages referenced in trip descriptions. Stormy Pirates provides licensed captains and first mates on select charters, and many outings are marketed as all-inclusive with snacks, drinks, snorkel gear, and paddleboards where noted. Group sizes vary by trip: small private charters accommodate five to twelve guests, sunset cruises fit up to 11 guests, and the 55' power catamaran can host parties up to 49 people. Experience options range from family-friendly snorkeling and paddleboarding to themed excursions such as the "Turtles, Pizza Pi & Sunset" tour, food-focused "Circle St. John & Food Boat Tour," and extended adventures to the British Virgin Islands like Jost Van Dyke Funday & Willy-T.
Crews support snorkeling, paddleboarding, and on-board hospitality included on many charters for families, couples, and groups alike.
