Exciting catamaran day trip!

From start to finish, J.W. and Chloe made this such a great experience. We were traveling with little ones, and they made sure that the babies had a great place to keep cool and safely play while some of the adults enjoyed snorkeling. J.W. took us to the prettiest spot for snorkeling too! If he makes a recommendation, it’s worth listening to!! After snorkeling, he helped us find a great lunch spot and it couldn’t be beat! We would definitely recommend this and would do it again!!

Snorkeling with friends

Maddie and Phillip were great hosts. They asked if we had anywhere specific that we wanted to go and took us then to Maho Bay (St John) to try and find turtles. Unfortunately the water was too murky to see much so they took us elsewhere to see coral and fish. They were known nd and fun hosts and our entire group had a lot of fun!

Best day visiting all the islands, enjoying the sun. Got to see almost all the USVI and some pretty cool history to go with it. JW and Megan made sure to take great care of us and even took us to an awesome reef area for the most magical snorkeling I’ve ever done. Will use them again.

Know before you go

It’s free to access the beach.
Bring plenty of sun protection and a swimsuit if you plan to enjoy the water.
Nearby facilities include restrooms, showers, equipment rental, and a beach bar that serves food and drinks.
The water in front of the beach is fairly rocky; water shoes are a good idea, but be careful not to stand on any coral.
Wild ducks and iguanas can be found sometimes on and around the beach.
