Anegada day trip from St. John: 42ft power catamaran

Four 400hp engines get you to Anegada and back with time to spare.

A day trip from St. John to Anegada aboard Another Round, a 42-foot Freeman power catamaran built for speed and comfort in the British Virgin Islands. The boat's four 400hp engines and catamaran hull deliver a smooth, fast ride across open water, letting you reach more snorkeling spots and island stops than slower vessels allow. Pickup is at the National Park Dock in Cruz Bay. The day runs eight hours and includes a cooler with ice and bottled water. You choose which sites to visit: the captain and crew handle the navigation and logistics.

The experience

Another Round is a 42-foot Freeman power catamaran, not a typical tour boat. The hull design and four 400hp engines mean the ride stays smooth even at speed, and the deck has plenty of shaded seating and 360-degree views. That speed matters: it cuts travel time between islands and gives you more hours to spend in the water or on the beach once you arrive. The boat is built for snorkeling, exploring, and anchoring in shallow bays where bigger vessels can't go.

Pickup happens at the National Park Dock in Cruz Bay, St. John at the start of your eight-hour day. You work with the crew to choose which snorkeling spots and island sites fit your group: Anegada is the main destination, but the itinerary is flexible based on conditions, your interests, and how the day unfolds. The cooler stocked with ice and bottled water stays onboard throughout.

The catamaran's speed and shallow draft open up stops and snorkeling sites that require a faster, more maneuverable boat. If you've done slower island tours before, the difference in how much ground you cover and how much time you spend at each stop is noticeable. BVI Customs fees are separate and run $80 per person. Bring cash or confirm payment method when you book.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between this boat and a standard island tour catamaran?

Another Round is a 42-foot Freeman power catamaran with four 400hp engines and a catamaran hull, which means it's faster and handles rougher water more smoothly than traditional single-hull tour boats. The speed lets you reach more distant snorkeling spots and spend longer at each stop within the same eight-hour window.

Do I get to choose where we stop, or is the itinerary set?

You choose the sites and snorkeling stops with the crew based on conditions, your group's interests, and how the day goes. Anegada is the main destination, but the specific route and time spent at each location is flexible.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The price includes pickup at Cruz Bay, the eight-hour boat charter, a cooler with ice and bottled water, and crew. BVI Customs fees ($80 per person) are separate and due at checkout or on the day. Lunch and gratuity are not included.

Where does the boat pick up, and how early do I need to be there?

Pickup is at the National Park Dock in Cruz Bay, St. John. Confirm your exact pickup time when you book. The boat departs at the scheduled time.

Is this trip rough or uncomfortable if the water is choppy?

The catamaran hull and four engines are designed to deliver a smooth ride even in rougher conditions. That said, the boat is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. All other fitness levels are welcome.
