Overview

Spend seven hours aboard a 50' Sea Ray Sundancer exploring the clear bays and reefs of the U.S. Virgin Islands. This private charter includes snorkel gear, breakfast, an open bar and a captain and crew who handle the details while you float, swim and soak up sun.

The bow of the 50' Sea Ray parts a ribbon of glassy blue and the island rises like a bright idea on the horizon — limestone cliffs, low scrub, and a crescent of sand that dares you to step off the boat. You settle onto the forward sun pad as the captain thumbs the throttle and salt spray shivers across your skin. The crew pours coffee, a short, fragrant wake-up that quickly dissolves into the clink of ice and the hiss of a cooler being opened. This is a day designed to move at the ocean’s clock: slow where the water invites you to float, lively where reefs glow under the hull.

Adventure Tips

Bring a passport if visiting the BVI

If your route includes British Virgin Islands stops, everyone on board must carry a valid passport for customs and immigration.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral ecosystems and reduce oily residue in the water.

Stow valuables below deck

Store phones and wallets in the salon or a dry bag provided onboard to prevent loss or salt damage while snorkeling.

Cash for fuel surcharge and tips

The listed price excludes a fuel surcharge payable at the end of the trip; bring small bills or a card and budget 15–20% for crew gratuity.
