This was an amazing trip. Grant and Tyler are an awesome crew. Grant’s knowledge of the local geography and history really make the trip fun and educational. He did a great job of pointing out all kinds of points of interest. The tacos at Lime Out were sensational. The experience of eating on a floating platform was cool, but the tacos really were great. Even the pizza that got delivered to the boat was very good. Snorkeling over an old sunken ship was very nice too. And we saw plenty of sea turtles. I highly recommend this trip to anyone.

The crew was amazing, I booked 12 people and under tour and we were placed in a bigger boat with 45 other. I paid more to go with a smaller group
Thomas_D, Jun 2025
The size of this tour is perfect with less than 12 people. It was a beautiful day circling St John on the water. We got to try Lime Out for some amazing tacos. Then went to our next stop for snorkeling where we saw some sea turtles and a shipwreck. The pizza was delivered to our boat and was delicious. Our next stop was Lovango resort and was a fun place to see and hang out for a while. Our captain Tyler and mate Maeve were professional and fun. They made it a fantastic tour and made sure we were all taken care of the whole day. Food and drinks were great and it was well worth the cost of this tour. We would highly recommend booking!

We had a great time! Highly recommend! The swim up taco stand was super cool and all of the snorkeling was on point. We saw the shipwreck and lots of pretty fish.
Briahna_H, Jul 2024
We booked this boat tour last minute and so happy we did! The captains were wonderful, super insightful, and insured that we had everything we needed every second of the trip. The snorkeling spots were awesome, and the food stops were impeccable. We will definitely make this part of our trip moving forward.
Shelby_D, Jul 2024
Our experience was wonderful! Kevin and Tyler were incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. They made the trip fun but also helped us to feel like we were in good hands.
Charity_H, Jul 2024

Andrea_W, May 2024
The water was so blue and beautiful! This tour gave us the island experience with great snorkeling stops and restaurant stops. Tyler and Jackson were great captains and tour guides! They treated you like a friend and were very accommodating and cared about giving you the greatest experience possible!

Tara and Demby were amazing!!! They took great care of everyone aboard. We will definitely book this tour again!!!!
Ciara_G, Nov 2023
Loved our day!! Would 110% do it again if we came back. Crew was amazing and we were able to do a lot of snorkeling, drinking, and eating! Only thing I would do differently is book directly through Stormy Pirates
Kathleen_T, Jul 2023
Great day exploring St John with captain Sammy and first mate Maeve. The food tour did provide some of the most unique foodie experiences starting with Lime Out floating bar and taco restaurant. We tried the ceviche and the Caribbean (seared ahi) tacos and they were AWESOME, as was the “danger” cocktail. Then pizza Pi delivered boat-made pizza to our boat via dinghy…where else can you get THAT?! And I’ve never had peaches in my pizza but the Georgia peach pizza with feta was so unique and yummy! We also got to snorkel at two locations not easily accessed by car making this day on the boat super special.
Dave_Y, Jul 2023
Overall, the day was amazing. The weather was beautiful as were the locations of the 4 stops we made! Our tour guides Brandon and Ciara were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the islands. The schedule allowed us to relax at each of the places that we went, which added to the enjoyment!
The only downside of the trip was the boat was over booked as there were 16 people on board, including the staff for a boat that should probably only have 12-13. Some of us didn’t have a seat, and had to sit on top of coolers or stand.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dave, we have never over booked any of our tours. Our boats are USCG inspected for 14 guests and 2 crew. 16 people total, which is normally the amount of guests we accommodate everyday.
The cooler is a designated seat, and is very comfortable with a back rest.
DaveB_B, Apr 2023
Just so relaxing to be in the boat and see the island from the water and swimming up to the lime out taco boat
Kay_R, Apr 2023
As an islander bringing my husband to the islands for the first time, we had a blast. This was fun from start to finish. Brandon and Susannah were the perfect hosts. I highly recommend this to anyone.
Karen_M, Apr 2023
Wonderful day - this excursion was exactly what I hoped - nice people in small setting and lots of fun!
Christine_G, Mar 2023
Captain Dewayne and first mate Maeve were five star! The boat was not that great. Not luxurious if that is what you expect.
Michael_B, Feb 2023
If you are reading this, BOOK THIS TOUR IMMEDIATELY!!! Had such an amazing day with Sammy, Lacey, and 12 other guests! Sammy was a great Captain, and had so much incredible knowledge of the islands we were passing. Lacey was an incredible bartender, great sense of humor, and also told us some great stories! They really made us feel at home, and our almost 7 hour trip felt like it passed with a blink of an eye! Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Sammy and Lacey!
Nancy_P, Jan 2023
I loved the stop at Lime tree! Fun swimming over to the Taco Bar! Tacos were awesome. Loved sailing with Brandon and Lacy! They were great!!
Tracy_C, Jan 2023
One of the best islands excursions we've had! Lacey and captain Dwayne were awesome! Lacey kept the drinks and conversations going and made everyone feel at home. We had a great group and everyone made my fiancée who does not swim feel sooo comfortable he did it three times! Very memorable experience and well worth the money!
Doug_N, Dec 2022
Arriving at Christmas Island - cove was full of boats, great music blasting from one boat. Great pizza from Pi brought to our boat.
Anne_J, Dec 2022
Tyler and Brandon gave us a great day! While we didn’t go to the bars we stopped at (we used the opportunity to snorkel), we didn’t need to because Tyler kept the drinks flowing on board between stops. They answered questions about the islands and their life living here. Totally worth it!
Phililp_R, Nov 2022
The excursion was supposed to include. Four stops. We only stopped twice to snorkel, and were never allowed to go into the nice bar that was advertised. The weather in Cesar beautiful so that was not a consideration. At one point we stopped and picked up the boyfriend of the deck attendant, Lacey, who was working the boat. At one snorkel stop, the captain got off of the boat and snorkeled with us. The female attendant, Lacey, and her boyfriend Brock stayed on board. Lacey made a point of asking my girlfriend where my wallet was so she could protect me from theft. After the stop, I noticed it all of the $100 bills from my wallet had been stolen. There were only three people left on board during the snorkel stop who could have taken the money. Lacey, her boyfriend, Brock, or a young attendant named Tyler. All of my cash for the trip was stolen so I had no more cash for a vacation. I did not report it because I did not notice the loss until I departed the boat at the end of the day.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
As I told you on the phone, I am sorry that you lost all of your money, but the crew saw that you had several bills in your wallet when you were tipping the crew. You left our boat with your wallet and cash in it.
After your boat day, our crew also saw you in the Tap & Still and a couple other bars around the Red Hook area.
Do you think you may have lost/spent your money at those places?

Captain Ron and crew were the best , would recommend to everyone , saw lots of sea life, drinks, music, fun fun fun
John_C, Nov 2022
Had an absolute blast! Capt. Ron and 1st mate Sam made the trip a lifetime memory. We got to meet great people and see just how beautiful the island legend is.
Heather_M, Nov 2022
This was an amazing trip. Brandon and Mason were wonderful and made sure we all had a great time. Beaches were beautiful and saw all kinds of fish and turtles. Rum punch was perfect. Would book this trip again 100%.
Toniann_V, Oct 2022
Captain Ron and Lacey were awesome- so nice and knowledgeable! Great Experience!! Highly recommend!!
Kimberly_A, Sep 2022
Kenny and Susannah were excellent co-captains. We had a great trip. The description on Viator is different from what we actually did but I enjoyed it more. The boat was fully stocked with beer, hard seltzer, rum punch and hard liquor. We went to 1 beach bar and the remainder of stops were either snorkeling or private beaches. It was a great time. We saw sea turtles & sting rays and even found some great sea glass.
