This experience was so much fun! We saw tons of fish and a couple of turtles. Others in the group saw a shark and a ray. The crew were fun and informative…had so much fun with John, Sidney, BK and Braxton too! Drinks and pizza were plentiful and the sunset was beautiful! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Excellent crew in Captain Andy, John, and Darien(hope I spelled that correctly). Always felt safe and well taken care of. John was very knowledgeable about the marine creatures and knew where to find them. The snorkeling was amazing. We saw turtles, rays, and my husband swears he saw a shark. The pizza and beverages hit the spot after all that snorkeling. And the music, singing, and dancing till sunset were the icing on the cake. John and Darien went above and beyond to keep everyone entertained. We truly enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend this excursion.

Fun The best sunset. Comfortable boat plenty of space. Informative ride.. Staff is friendly and accommodating Darian went out of her way to include everyone Thanks for a wonderful time

Very fun afternoon

Craig_M, May 2026

Two fantastic snorkel experiences with Darian (sp?) She was knowledgeable of the fish and creatures that we saw. CJ was a fun and fantastic captain. The 2nd half was a lovely boat ride to see sunset and have a few drinks. Just a fantastic afternoon.

not worth the money

Kim_K, May 2026

This was the most uncomfortable boat I have ever been on. Hard metal benches to sit on. Metal wires to lean back on. Drinks were not good. If you just want to snorkel, its fine. Bare bones uncomfortable boat. If you want to enjoy a day on the water in comfort, this is not a great choice. The pizza was delicious. They are much better options for the price.

Sun, Rain, Fish, Turtles, Pizza, & Coconut Rum - What More Could You Ask For

Anonymous, Mar 2026

We had an amazing time on the Snorkel, Pizza and Sunset Tour - even with a little rain, the experience was unforgettable. Our snorkeling stops were fantastic; we saw so many beautiful fish and even some sea turtles up close. CJ (captain) and Derrian (first mate) were awesome - funny, upbeat, and really made the whole rainy afternoon feel bright. They got everyone on board involved in a fun interactive dance that had us all laughing. One of the coolest parts was getting hot, fresh pizza delivered to us from a boat anchored right in the Caribbean! This was a great tour - I highly recommend!

Best experience on USVI

Shalini_R, Mar 2026

John, Darrien and CJ are the best crew you can ask for! The whole experience from beginning to end was amazing. Kids were able to see turtles, octopuses, sting rays. The water was absolutely lovely. I have been to many sunset cruises. These three made it extra special with the Caribbean dancing and taking pictures and the cocktails that made. Loved the experience!

Book it!

Stacy_K, Mar 2026

What an awesome afternoon! We snorkeled Hawksnest Bay and Christmas Cove, enjoyed Pizza Pi pizza, and sang and danced as the sun set. Darian, a marine biologist, snorkeled with us to help us find sea turtles, rays and octopus. BK was a great captain and DJ. Highly recommend - 5 hours on the water for a decent price - way more affordable than other charters.

Fun Time Adventure!

Brad_C, Mar 2026

Great crew, fun & long stops (not like the typical 25 minute stops of most charters to snorkel, that rush you in and out of the water) Fun times, great music, tasty pizza delivered from another boat that has 3 pizza ovens

Would go again

Leanna_B, Mar 2026

What fun this was! Our hosts, Captain Andy, John and Darian were super helpful and knowledgeable about the marine life. My husband and I saw sea turtles, a nurses shark, octopus and fish. It wasn't as bright as we were hoping for so we didn't see a ton of colors underwater but we'd definitely go again. After snorkeling we enjoyed endless pizza and drinks until we got back to the dock. If you're a lightweight like me then ask for stateside pours in your cocktails lol.

Well worth it!

Nathan_H, Mar 2026

Very fun and well organized tour. Captain BK knows his way around the islands to find turtles and great snorkeling places and John was super friendly, helpful and entertaining. The pizza from Pizza Pi (a floating pizza kitchen that gets delivered on the water) was also amazing and a fun experience. Definitely recommend!

We had a great time and our guides made it so fun! It was nice to have a guide point out eagle rays and turtles otherwise I wouldn’t have found them on my own.

Sara_J, Mar 2026

BOOK THIS TRIP RIGHT NOW!! What an amazing day! Captain Andy was sooo good as well as his crew John and Darian. They made the entire day safe and entertaining. Even if we just went out for the pizza, it would have been worth it for the price. It really was a magical day and the pizza was delicious.

That it was the best part of my trip. Captain Andy, John, and Darian made it a blast. We got a little history, along with seeing turtles and octopus. Definitely don't skip out on this, even if this is all you get to do.

Annette_O, Feb 2026

The crew was great. Darrien worked hard to show us turtles, a sting ray, a sea cucumber and so many fish. They all did a good job engaging with everyone, even if you’re not a dance party person lol. Captain CJ, Darrien and Sydney were all a fun crew.

Way too many people to enjoy the tour

Risha_S, Feb 2026

Wish I could give this a better review but just can’t. We arrived for our excursion at 2pm and noticed there was already a ton of people coming on. We go over to St. John and then pick up MORE passengers. Now when they got on we were literally knee to knee sitting way too close to people. We had most of our stuff in our laps because there was no room to sit it down. I was very uncomfortable sitting still for 5 hours on what was supposed to be a party boat. We got to our first snorkel spot, didn’t see much and the water was murky. Got to the second spot and the water was better but only saw one turtle and a stingray after an hour of snorkeling. Then got Pizza that was “meh”. Alcohol only served after snorkeling is done. So you have maybe 45 min to drink while on the boat. And the music was weird for a party setting. Crew and captain were awesome, but I expected more for being on a boat for 5 hours. Maybe not overbook your tours so people can enjoy the experience and not be overcrowded.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Sorry you felt that way. We never book our boat to its legal capacity so that everyone has enough room. Glad to hear that the crew was great though!

Best snorkeling on the island

Katariina_M, Feb 2026

This was the best experience we had in the island. An amazing afternoon/evening on the sea with LOTS of snorkeling, drinks and fun times. Captain Andy was so accommodating and took care of us (with a good playlist!) and John was knowledgeable guide in the water. 100% recommend and would go again.

This was such a beautiful experience! Captain BK and Sydney were wonderful guides. We saw so many cool sea creatures including turtles and nurse sharks! The pizza and drinks were delicious, and even though the sun was blocked by clouds, we had a beautiful horizon.
