All around amazing trip. Even if you aren’t into a lot of snorkeling, the guides provide a great history of the different islands. The tour is coast guard approved so they meet top level safety criteria. Guides themselves were awesome, knowledgeable, and friendly. For sure a must do if you go to St. Thomas. Food and drinks a huge bonus to the trip.

It was a great day, weather was perfect, water was warm. We had fruit and muffins for breakfast, sandwiches and salad for lunch.
Great staff! Jeff was amazing. Drinks were flowing. Made my friends Birthday feel extra special! Recommend!
If I could give this a six star rating, I would. The captains were great, and the open bar is a bonus! My husband and I got to see so many fish, a few sea turtles, and stingrays! Would recommend to anyone debating what to do in St. Thomas!!
D’haden was our guide and he kept the mood up beat and fun. We got to see many different types of sealife and islands. It was an amazing tour and our best day on the island.
What an amazing day on the water! Our group had an absolute blast on this snorkeling excursion around St. John! We stopped at three different locations and saw so much beautiful marine life, including a shark, which was definitely a highlight of the trip!
Jeff and Christian were fantastic guides! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. The boat was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax.
Breakfast was very light, but lunch was delicious, and the drinks were definitely flowing! Between the beautiful scenery, incredible snorkeling, great food, and fun atmosphere, it was such a memorable experience.
Everyone in our group agreed this was one of the highlights of our vacation! We all gave it five stars and would absolutely book this excursion again. If you’re visiting St. Thomas or St. John and looking for a fun day on the water, I can’t recommend this excursion enough! You won’t regret it!
The morning started off great being able to be picked up right in Sapphire Bay Marina. Jeff and Christian were amazing! They made sure it was an amazing day. We got to see everything we asked to see and more. Breakfast and lunch were so good. Drinks were delicious and flowing. Would definitely book again!
Multiple stops! Great food! Amazing crew! Both the captain, D’Haden and the first mate, Nick were awesome! They were friendly, funny, and super knowledgeable!
The 3 stops were absolutely gorgeous, as well!
This excursion has it all... Boat cruise and views, food and unlimited drinks included, comedy and chill vibe from captain... And of course snorkeling. Seriously good value and great time. Just stop thinking and book it
Capt Z-Haden & first mate Nick were wonderful hosts. Z-Haden kept all of entertained while keeping us safe. I believe everyone on that boat Breakaway had a great time
All I can say is AMAZING. Jeff and Nick were awesome hosts. The fruit, muffins in the morning, brownies, shrimp and sandwiches for lunch were a great addition to a long day of snorkeling. They kept the drinks and food flowing. We stopped and 3 locations and had amazing sights of the world below the Caribbean. My husband and I purchased full face snorkel masks and it made the experience so much better. Jeff even went so far as to taking the scenic route back to Port and himself and Nick gave us alot of information about the islands. I'm not a history person but was fascinated by the information they shared with us. We met some awesome travelers as well who made the trip even more fun. If we ever come back to St Thomas this will definitely be on our itinerary.
We had an amazing day! D’haden and Max are true people persons. They kept the 6 hour trip lively and fun. We stopped at 3 snorkel spots, one of them being a gorgeous beach only accessible by boat on St. John. We spotted squid, manoray, stingrays, TURTLES and tons of gorgeous fish. We were served a light breakfast and a full lunch. Drinks were flowing all day. The music was amazing and appropriate for all ages. They supply vests to help you float while snorkeling if you are worried about being in open waters. This was an amazing day! Highly recommend!
My wife and I did this excursion on our honeymoon and it was without a doubt the highlight of the trip.
Captain Jeff did a great job at sharing the history and significance of the islands and landmarks as we passed them. The food was beyond expectations and when the bar opened up, they kept the drinks flowing.
The snorkelling itself was beautiful, allowing us to see a large variety of tropical fish within our 3 stops.
Great value and great experience!
Nick and Jeff were so hospitable and made sure everyone was taken care of the whole time! Great views, great snorkeling and smooth ride!
This was awesome D’Haden and Nick were awesome!! It was so wonderful !! The island and snorkeling stops were awesome!!
Such a fun trip! Saw lots of turtles, fish, and visited several beaches. Everyone had a great time!!
Captain Jeff and First Mate Christian were fantastic. Everything was smooth and professional and still fun. If you love sea critters this is the tour for you. They knew all about the places and creatures and really seemed to enjoy sharing the knowledge. What a great time!
Great snorkel spots! We saw many types of fish, turtles, sting rays, and so much more. The crew was amazing and they made it memorable.
My family including 18 yo, 13 yo, husband and myself went snorkeling and saw several sea turtles, sting rays, spotted eagle rays, puffer fish and multiple varied fish. Everyone LOVED this trip. Highlight of our vacation. D’Hayden and Christian were wonderful and accommodating and I would definitely do this again! Thank you for making our trip special and magical in such a beautiful, pristine environment!
Captain Jeff and Max could not have been kinder and professional. We all felt very safe and well prepared. The snorkeling was amazing. We are a family of eight celebrating my granddaughter’s fourteenth birthday. Snorkeling was first on her list of musts. None of us were disappointed. We all had a blast. From a family who has snorkeled several locations, we highly recommend this trip with Jeff and Max.

Captain and 1st mate were spectacular. Highlight of the trip so far!! Lunch was great and the snorkeling spots were perfect.
Excellent crew and food. Saw mostly fish, no turtles or octopus. Bartender / food server was serving us promptly
Almost everything about the experience was great. I was disappointed that I wasn't in the water in time to see the sting ray like some of group members did. I did get to see lots of fish, a squid, & sea turtle.
The biggest "issue" was a fellow group member that was clearly inebriated. She seemed fine when boarding, but as our trip progressed, it became increasingly obvious that she was under the influence of something other than the drinks on the boat. Her swimsuit wasn't properly secured & we all got to see way more than we bargained for. There were kids on the boat (teens/tweens) that were visibly uncomfortable.
The captain & crew are very knowledgeable & keep you very safe during this trip. This was an amazing experience in calm water during snorkeling. We saw sea turtles, lots of colored fish & learned history about the surrounding islands. This is a fantastic trip to do with family.
It was definitely worth the money. We saw several see turtles, stingrays, and various other fish and secluded beaches.
Great and funny guides, super accommodating and friendly. Bathroom on the boat, open bar, good light breakfast and lunch. Stopped at 3 great snorkel spots, so fun!
This was a wonderful experience. Our guides were very kind and hospitable. We were taken to three snorkel spots that allowed us to see turtles, rays, coral reefs, and a variety of fish up close. Each spot offered something new which was cool, and we had plenty of time to explore the water at each place. We were with a group of less than twenty people, which was nice because it didn’t feel crowded. The breakfast and lunch were a simple but nice addition to the tour. Best for people who are looking for a little adventure while also enjoying some wonderful scenery and relaxation.
The captain and crew were AMAZING!! My husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon and wanted to book a snorkeling excursion and this one was highly rated and I can see why! The views, breathtaking. The booze, unlimited. The snorkeling locations, fantastic. What more could you ask for?!
One thing the captain asked was if anyone was celebrating something special and there were three couples (including us) on their honeymoon. He asked us which dates and proceeded to find songs to go along with the dates. We got married on Halloween and he played Halloween themed love songs ie: “Corpse Bride” and “I put a spell on you”. It was so sweet and made it that much more memorable. My husband and I are definitely planning on going back to St. Thomas and we will for sure be booking this snorkeling adventure again!
The captain and crew make the trip memorable! It was so much fun! We would do it again! Not everyone will see the same things as you snorkel, but definitely worth it.
This was a incredible!!!! Be prepared yo enjoy every minute with this wonderful crew. Dont forget the sunscreen!
I booked this excursion on my Birthday during our trip to St Thomas and it was such an awesome experience! The guys running it did an absolute amazing job of keeping everyone safe, happy and fed! One of the best excursions I've been on! Amazing snorkeling sites! Would 100% book again and recommend to everyone!
Pilot and crew were friendly and helpful, pointing out best places to snorkel. Food and drink was plentiful and good.
