Perfect experience in every way!! Amazing, attentive and helpful nice crew; saw some beautiful fish, cute turtle, etc.., delicious snacks, drinks and pizza.. And of course - a stunning sunset with awesome music throughout...(That's the very short of it). I def recommend it, even if it's not your first time visiting!

This was so fun and well worth the money ! John was so fun and helpful helped us swim around so we wouldn’t miss all the amazing things in the ocean (btw John’s mom “He totally has a job” lol and Andy was a great driver and photographer and the pizza was so good I definitely recommend this. 10/10 I see why the. Reviews are so good.

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.

Fabulous experience John and CJ took us to the most beautiful snorkel spots! They really highlighted all the safety precautions before we entered the water! The snacks were great between the snorkel spots and the pizza was delicious! The adventure was a highlight because of John and CJ….the painkillers were delicious and John made sure everyone was taken care both serving us and in the water !!!! Highly recommend !!!!

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.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the boat did not meet your expectations for comfort and that some aspects of the drinks and seating were disappointing for you. We truly appreciate your honest comments, as they help us identify areas where we can improve the overall guest experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling and especially the pizza — we’ll be sure to pass that compliment along to the crew. Our tours are designed to focus on the adventure and time in the water, but we understand that comfort onboard is just as important for many guests. Thank you again for joining us and for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the rest of your time on the island.

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
