Step aboard a 42-foot Freeman power catamaran and feel the Caribbean take hold: the ocean nudges the hull, spray teases the rail, and Another Round hums forward on four 400hp engines that flatten distance into time.

The route threads between USVI and the British Virgin Islands—places shaped by volcanic rise and shallow coral shelves. Sail past weathered volcanic ridgelines, drop anchor over coral gardens, and watch the reef’s architecture reveal parrotfish and porcelain urchins. The islands carry layers of seafaring history: Arawak and European contact, plantation traces, and a modern blend of Caribbean cultures that center on boating and beach life.
Expect long runs across blue water, quick hops to snorkeling sites, and shore stops at iconic cays if tides and customs allow. The captain can aim for the Baths and Turtle Cove, or lesser-known snorkeling ledges depending on conditions and your passport status.
Practically: the trip is a full-day private charter (about 8 hours) departing Cruz Bay’s National Park Dock. Bring a valid passport if you plan to visit the British Virgin Islands—customs are enforced. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer for open-water runs, and a waterproof bag for valuables. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive measures before boarding; the catamaran’s stability helps, but the sea still moves.
This is a flexible, fast way to see multiple islands in a day: plan destinations beforehand, ask the captain about currents and reef protection, and leave time to float in warm water where the ocean seems to push you forward rather than away.
