The British Virgin Islands (BVI) offer some of the Caribbean’s most vibrant waters, where crystal-clear visibility reveals reefs pulsating with life beneath the surface. Seas the Day Charters invites you aboard the M/V Aquarius, a 31-foot Wellcraft powerboat equipped with twin 300hp Yamaha engines, perfect for a private day-long adventure tailored to you and up to 11 other guests. Departing from St. Thomas’s American Yacht Harbor—just a short boat ride from the bustling islands of the USVI—the trip crosses international waters into the lush BVI, renowned for sun-drenched beaches and some of the region’s best snorkeling spots.
What sets this charter apart is the personalized itinerary crafted with your group and captain: whether you want to dive into vibrant coral reefs teeming with parrotfish and sea turtles, relax on soft white sands, or hop between hidden coves free from crowds. The M/V Aquarius’s layout balances comfort and social space with cushioned bow seating and a Bluetooth sound system, ensuring your soundtrack stays as lively as the waves. Included with your charter are refreshingly chilled sodas, water, ice, and snorkeling gear. Fuel costs are transparently billed afterward, and a mandatory customs fee of $85 per guest is required for entry into the BVI.
This private charter experience is a standout in the region because it combines the freedom of a boat rental with expert local knowledge from the captain, who knows where the calmest waters and richest marine ecosystems lie. Safety and ease come standard—most guests only need a valid passport and reef-safe sunscreen to embark on a worry-free escape. For families, couples, or groups wanting a hands-on, casual Caribbean day on the water, Seas the Day Charters delivers a seamless blend of relaxation, discovery, and connection with the best that the British Virgin Islands have to offer.
