Amazing experience from start to finish! Chris called to ask what we wanted to do on our all day private charter. He was very professional and covered everything. Our Captain, Kevin, was outstanding! Also very professional, as well as knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and fun! He took us to all the places we wanted to go, and then some: the best snorkeling spot in the USVI, lunch at Lime Out, swimming/snorkeling with turtles, as well as some additional sightseeing. We really appreciated all he shared with us about the islands. The boat was clean, had lots of different places to sit, snorkeling equipment, cold waters, & a fresh water shower. This was perfect for our family of 4, but you can definitely do it with more people. We highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters, and will definitely be using them again on our next visit to the USVI!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We're so glad you had such a memorable day on the water. Chris always enjoys helping guests plan their perfect day, and Captain Kevin truly brings it to life with his energy, knowledge, and care. It sounds like you got the full experience, from snorkeling with turtles to lunch at Lime Out and everything in between. We appreciate you noticing the little details onboard too. It was a pleasure having your family with us and we can't wait to welcome you back next time you're in the USVI!

Wonderful Day with Capt Kevin and Carpe Diem Charters

Gina_C, Dec 2024
Had a wonderful time on the water with Carpe Diem Charters. Captain Kevin was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. We snorkeled in many spots with beautiful fish, turtles, starfish and a few stingrays; floated around, saw many sites around the outside of the islands and had a nice lunch at a floating pizza restaurant. The boat was perfect (very clean and plenty of room for our 10 family members) and we felt safe and attended to the entire day. I would recommend this charter and definitely Captain Kevin to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.

Best Day in St Thomas

Amazing scenery

Seth_W, Mar 2024
Overall it was a great day on the boat. We love the Caribbean and are fans of a private boat day to see the small sites. Capt Kevin did an amazing job, the water was a little choppy but he made us feel safe and secure always. Kevin was very patient with the kids and took us to several spots. My only negative would be the meet up and boat readiness. The meet up was not clear and we walked for a bit, made some calls and then finally met the captain. The boat was only stocked with waters for a 6/7hr day on the water. We had the opportunity to walk to the grocery store and buy our own beer, sodas and snacks. Totally my personal preference but it would be nice to have that already on board and just pay for it.

Amazing

Awesome day on the water with captain Kyle. Private was the way to go for our family of 5 including a 29, 25, 23 year olds Kyle showed us St. thomas and St. john from the water, went to Lime Out a great floating taco restaurant and bar. A unique concept and a lot of fun. We were able to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at all of the stops he made. Great snorkeling and the boat was great and clean. We highly recommend this company and if you get Kyle it’s an added bonus!! Thanks Kyle!!!

FAST boat, extremely knowledgeable & friendly Captain = AWESOME Memories!

Martin_F, Jun 2023
Captain Phil took us to incredible snorkel spots, some of the best beaches around St. John, and Lovango Cay for a fantastic lunch (open face steak sandwich, Nicoise sandwich, Hot Honey pizza, and Coconut Froth Poke). Captain Phil (he hates to be called Captain, btw) went above and beyond by introducing our three boys to the unique flavor of “tamarind” and actually thought them to dive! Thanks for a great time Phil!

Response from Host, Jun 2023
