Review of a private 50-foot St. Thomas catamaran charter with snorkeling, beaches, drinks, flexible routes, and practical booking advice.

“Basically, a very poor customer service experience. We hired a private charter boat for $2100 for 7 hours. Firstly didn’t have appropriate life jackets. Secondly every question asked was me with the rude answers. Didn’t customize any part of what we wanted to do. They were expecting us to stop for lunch and waste one hour of our time so they can have lunch. We even fed them some snack snacks that we had.. we were 25 minutes late so they got 25 minutes out from our time. It was a full day charter, 25 minutes more of their time would not have been a big deal , but they…”

Compare this private St. Thomas boat charter for snorkeling, beaches, and St. John, with flexible routes, drinks, gear, and room for 12.

“We reserved the boat for our family for the day, and enjoyed the flexibility that provided. By chance, another family member got sick that morning, and the only place that could fill the prescription was in St John, so our boat captain made St John our first stop, we got the prescription, then brought it back to the family member- then continued on our way. We enjoyed being able to snorkel when we wanted, go to any beach we wanted, or just cruise around. Great ability to see and do a lot on this tour.”
