Everything was amazing. My husband isn't really into the boating excursions, but really enjoyed this trip. Addison and Robin were the perfect pair for this voyage. They provided a day filled with delicious food, drinks, and relaxation. We would definitely do it again.

Amazing

Adrienne_K, Jun 2026

The ride was incredibly relaxing. Lunch was fantastic. We saw boat wreckage, sea turtles, stingrays, conch shells and tons of fish while snorkeling. The boat crew was amazing.

Unique experience

We had the best time! Captain John asked what we were interested in seeing and he tailored an itinerary for us. Ella(?) was very sweet and knowledgable. Food was excellent. But the personalized day of beach hopping was priceless.

Response from Host, May 2026

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re really happy to hear that your St. Thomas & St. John private luxury catamaran charter turned into such an enjoyable day—even for someone who doesn’t usually gravitate toward boating excursions. That’s exactly what we aim for on our US Virgin Islands sailing experiences—a relaxed, comfortable pace where everyone can unwind, whether they’re sunbathing on deck, enjoying the open bar, or taking in the stunning waters around St. John. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and drinks, along with the easygoing flow of the day exploring the beautiful bays and snorkeling spots in the Virgin Islands National Park area. Creating a smooth, all-inclusive experience is what makes a private boat charter from St. Thomas so special compared to larger group tours. Thank you again for the kind recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back aboard Sweet Pea for another unforgettable day sailing through the St. Thomas and St. John cruising grounds on your next trip to the Caribbean. 🌺🌴⛵

I'd highly recommend. The Captain and first mate were friendly and very experienced. Gourmet lunch was delicious. Captain went out of his way to accommodate our wish list. Swimming with turtles was outstanding and our bird lover got an eyeful. Terrific way to experience the islands.
