About
No overcrowding on this semi-private excursion! A maximum of 12 guests get to enjoy a 4-hour trip to St. John.
At one of the many snorkel spots around St. John, like Maho Bay or Christmas Cove or nearby uninhabited cays (Mingo, Lovango or Stevens), we will provide snorkeling gear to explore coral reefs that are home to tropical fish such as snapper, parrotfish, squirrelfish and other sea life, including sea turtles.
On board, we have complimentary water and soda. Once the group has finished snorkeling, enjoy complimentary ice-cold beer. For your second stop, we will whisk you away to one of the many soft sandy beaches. Some of our favorite stops are Hawksnest Bay or Honeymoon Beach at Caneel Bay (weather dependent) to enjoy the white sand and crystal blue waters and a drink or two from our local bartenders.
Your experience is complete with a quick trip back to Red Hook on St. Thomas. Guests will enjoy our M/V Island Flyer or M/V Hydra power catamarans, as available. The departure time is 9am or 2pm.
*This experience requires a minimum number of travelers. If it’s canceled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund. On very few occasions, we reserve the right to change yachts based on availability.
