This was the best money we spent, we went to St. John from St Thomas.
Captain Dan took us snorkeling at what felt like private beaches. We saw every fish... read more and sea turtles. He was very knowledgeable, full of information and gave us a great tour.
It was a last minute decision, we called and he returned our call within the hour and we were booked for the next day.
BEST DAY !
Thanks Captain Dan
February 17, 2023Great Day on the Boat - What a great day on the water! We were a group of 11, in St Thomas for a special birthday. Patrick, our captain, took us all around St John... read more and St Thomas for some snorkeling and fun in the sun. Patrick knew all the best spots and was very patient with this group of 11 women (not an easy task). We got to the boat and boarded all of us, our gear and supplies, then off we went.

As the day wore on, clouds started rolling in and Patrick got us back before the rain started. All in all, a terrific day and a great experience with Patrick. I would definitely do this again.

We had an amazing excursion with BoatingVI! From the marina breakfast recommendation before we boarded to the finale toast when we got back, every minute was bliss. Capt. Dan is a living encyclopedia of the islands and has been in the business long enough to have personal stories of some of the most interesting characters to have ever called the islands home. The boat was smooth and comfortable, even in choppy water… so much so that I (a typically sea sick person) had a little nap on the way back. We went to Virgin Gorda, where we wandered The Baths and took in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Lunch was clean-the-plate delicious at Pirates Bight on Norman Island. And then we did some of the most pristine reef snorkeling you can find in the Caribbean. Fish galore, a 40’ wall of coral, then a swimming tour through oceanic gardens. Really an A+, perfect day on the water. We’ll never forget it! If you’re taking a water trip, do it with these guys. You won’t regret it. Thanks Capt. Dan!!

My family and I booked a half day trip and had an amazing time! We enjoyed it so much we booked a full day trip the following day and then another half day. We had Captain Dan and Captain Brian on our trips. We can not say enough good things about both of them and about the trips they took us on. We were able to see wonderful beaches and the boat trips were the favorite part of our vacation to St. Thomas. We will absolutely book with them again when we come back. Thank you Captains Dan and Brian! -Mike, Michelle, Vinny, and Grace.
