Private Fast Power Catamaran Charter — St. Thomas Island Hopping & Snorkeling
Skip crowded tour boats and take a private TwinVee catamaran around St. Thomas and neighboring islands. Expect fast island hops, guided snorkels on coral reefs, and customizable beach stops for bars and turtle sightings.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral—choose reef-safe sunscreen and reapply frequently after swimming.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep phones, wallets, and spare clothes dry during beach exits and swim stops.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or wear wristbands before boarding—trips cover open water between islands.
Confirm pickup location
Marina pickup may be in Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook—verify exact departure and arrival details when you book.

Conservation Note
Reefs here are fragile—use mooring buoys, avoid touching coral, and use reef-safe sunscreen. Practice 'leave no trace' on beaches and dispose of trash onshore.
The U.S. Virgin Islands blend Arawak heritage, Danish colonial history, and a maritime culture built around trade and fishing; St. John’s National Park preserves both coastline and colonial ruins.
