Lime Out Taco Sail & Snorkel — St. Thomas to Coral Bay Day Charter
Spend a seven‑hour private charter from St. Thomas to Coral Bay—snorkel vibrant reefs, swim with turtles, then float over to Lime Out’s famous sea‑anchored taco bar. Expect clear water, local flavors, and a relaxed captain who picks the best spots for the day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Coral reefs here are sensitive—use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply from the boat to protect both skin and coral.
Book morning departures
Early departures usually find calmer seas and clearer visibility for snorkeling; afternoons can be windier and choppier.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep phone, keys and a light layer dry; the boat has limited storage and swims happen from the water.
Consider seasickness prevention
Take anti‑emetic medication ahead of time if you’re prone to motion sickness; the captain can slow in rougher patches but open ocean may roll.

Conservation Note
The area relies on reef protection and responsible anchoring; visitors are asked to use reef‑safe products, avoid standing on coral, and support local operators who follow marine rules.
Coral Bay grew from plantation-era roads and small fishing settlements; St. John’s reefs formed where lava flows met the sea and supported local fishing cultures.
