Sail from St. Thomas to prime snorkel sites, swim among colorful reef fish, and enjoy pizza served from PiZZA Pi—the Virgin Islands’ only floating food boat. This family-friendly half-day pairs two snorkel stops with an open bar and beach time.

The catamaran slips from the dock and the harbor thins: spray and a steady wind erase the city noise as turquoise water stretches toward a low offshore cay. Guests spread out on the trampoline, masks in hand, as the crew points to a coral garden where parrotfish and rays often glide. Lunch arrives later in an unforgettable way—pizza delivered from PiZZA Pi, the Virgin Islands’ only floating food boat—handed straight onto the deck while the Atlantic leans in with a warm breeze.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use coral-friendly sunscreen to protect reefs and avoid oily lotions that reduce visibility in the water.
Secure boarding footwear
Wear slip-on water shoes for easy boarding and to protect feet when stepping on docks or sandy cays.
Prevent seasickness
If you get motion sick, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure and sit midship where motion is smallest.
Protect valuables
Pack a small dry bag for phone, ID, and any prescription meds—crew space is limited and decks get wet.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
