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.

History

Conservation

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin — apply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply after snorkeling.
Reserve early and confirm pickup
Private charters fill; confirm pickup location (St. Thomas or Cruz Bay) and snorkel gear sizes ahead of time.
Plan for seasickness
Take motion‑sickness medication before boarding if you’re prone to nausea and choose a mid‑boat seat for the steadiest ride.
Protect your valuables
Store phones and wallets in a dry bag; saltwater and small boats are a risky mix for electronics.
