Spend a seven‑hour private charter from St. Thomas or Cruz Bay snorkeling coral gardens and dining at Lime Out, a floating taco bar in Coral Bay. Expect turtle sightings, two local snorkel stops, onboard snacks and drinks, and a relaxed, flexible itinerary.
You push off from a white-dusted dock as morning light slants across the Caribbean — the captain trims sail, the hull cuts turquoise glass, and the island line of St. John swells into view. Salt-slick air smells of cut seaweed and citrus; somewhere ahead, a floating taco bar rocks gently on a mooring like a bright, edible island.

You push off from a white-dusted dock as morning light slants across the Caribbean — the captain trims sail, the hull cuts turquoise glass, and the island line of St. John swells into view. Salt-slick air smells of cut seaweed and citrus; somewhere ahead, a floating taco bar rocks gently on a mooring like a bright, edible island.
This private day charter (up to 12 guests) threads from St. Thomas or Cruz Bay toward Coral Bay, where calm bays and coral gardens reward swimmers and snorkelers. Geologically, St. John’s reefs grew on the rim of an ancient volcanic landscape; pockets of coral and seagrass form sheltered coves that attract hawksbill turtles, spotted eagle rays, and shoals of parrotfish. Culturally, Coral Bay has long been less commercial than Cruz Bay — a working harbor with small businesses like Lime Out that grew from local culinary creativity and a love of simple, fresh flavors.
Expect a flexible itinerary: two prime snorkel stops chosen by local conditions, time to float on lily pads, and a swim-anchored lunch at Lime Out—fusion tacos made with island-caught fish and bold condiments. The trip lasts roughly seven hours and includes bottled water, some alcoholic beverages, snorkel gear, and an onboard toilet.
Practical guidance: wear reef-safe sunscreen, bring a towel, water shoes, and a lightweight coverup for sun and breeze. If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative meds and sit mid-boat. Let the captain know sizes for snorkel gear in advance and be ready to swim from the anchored boat; the trip isn’t wheelchair-accessible and isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions. Arrive with a moderate fitness level and a readiness to trade landlubber pace for warm water, bright fish, and tacos that taste of the sea.
