Smooth Sailing with Captain Jake & Second Mate Sydney

"Wow! What an unbelievable excursion. From start to finish, the entire experience was top notch. From Captain Jake's expertise navigating around the islands with a few stops at historic relics, to Second Mate Sydney's knowledgeable snorkel guidance, bartending, and overall hospitality as concierge, we couldn't have asked for a better adventure. Definitely a trip to remember and cherish."

This was a great...

This was a great catamaran charter! The catamaran is very spacious, the crew was very friendly, and they kept the complimentary drinks flowing (try the rum, it's delish!). I loved hanging out at the front of the boat on the bean bags and the hammock netting. For the half day, we visited two spots and unfortunately I already forgot the names of the places. But we asked to see sea turtles and did fulfill our wish! If I were to return again, I would book the full day. Thanks for a great catamaran outing!

Don’t Sleep on This One

Highly recommend if you are looking for a laid-back vibe with an experienced captain (who also happens to be a pretty good chef and a killer bartender!). Kendall made sure all the bases were covered: safety, comfort, fun. Good music, great info about the islands. Snorkeling at our leisure, seeing all types of marine life and exploring around a ship wreck. Relaxing ride on the way back, for a memorable day that ended way too soon.

Best ever!

I’ve been snorkeling in various parts of the world and this was THE COOLEST experience snorkeling I’ve ever had! Derek and Kelly were awesome! So patient with my friend who was new to snorkeling and so knowledgeable about marine life! I loved that it was so personal. It was just the 4 of us and not a huge group. I would give a solid 20 out of 5 stars!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!!

Snorkeling in St. Thomas

We had fantastic snorkeling experience! Captain CJ and John took us to 2 snorkeling places where we saw sea turtles, sting ray, sea urchins, and tons of fish. They even provided under water videos of additional sea life (ie. Octopus) that we didn't get to see. They also took great care of our kids (6 and 8) and John helped bring our kids back to boat when they were too tired to swim back. Also had nice snacks and drinks when we were done snorkeling, highly recommend this snorkeling tour!

Best excursion we did!

Our tour guide Sven was amazing. He went above and beyond. He started us with a cool tour of the trees, plants and beach. It was SO cool. When we got into the water he did a great job teaching us how to utilize the snorkels as it was our first time. He gave us such a cool tour of the fish and plants in the ocean. He knew exactly where to go to see turtles. He taught us how to interact with them, the rules, and how to keep them safe. It was such a lengthy awesome tour. It was one of our favorite excursions!

St. Thomas Maho Bay Turtle Snorkel Sail - Ritz-Carlton

Bill_C, Apr 2026

Outstanding Snorkel Sail Experience – Highly Recommend Captain Jolene & Crew

Our Turtle Snorkel Sail to Maho Bay out of St. Thomas was truly unforgettable, and Captain Jolene and her exceptional crew made it a five‑star experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail that perfectly matched the Ritz‑Carlton standard. Captain Jolene was knowledgeable, calm, and engaging, making everyone feel comfortable and cared for throughout the sail. Her crew was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, whether it was assisting with gear, sharing insights about the area, or making sure everyone had exactly what they needed. Maho Bay was spectacular, and snorkeling with sea turtles in such clear, beautiful water was a highlight of our trip. The crew took great care to ensure the experience was safe, relaxed, and enjoyable for guests of all experience levels. If you’re looking for a seamless, memorable snorkeling adventure with top‑tier service, I can’t recommend Captain Jolene and her crew enough. This was hands‑down one of the best experiences of our time in St. Thomas and a must‑do for anyone staying in St Thomas

John was a great guide...

John was a great guide and very knowledgeable for the tour. This was pretty informative including some details about fauna and flora as well as some history. The area to snorkel was great and saw schools of huge Tarpon I believe. Plus a Stingray and other sea life. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Pennie_P, Apr 2026

Awesome experience!

The mangroves are beautiful!! The guides were awesome and informative!! And contrary to what my sister in law thought ~ there are no snakes!! Just really cool jellyfish and starfish … and we even caught a glimpse of a very shy little octopus heading back into his home when we were snorkeling!! Last but not least, make sure you ask them about the crabs!!
