Private Powerboat Charter St. John & St. Thomas: Full Day

Steer your own itinerary across three islands and hidden cays

A private 31-foot powerboat charter based in the U.S. Virgin Islands lets your group of up to 12 spend a full day island-hopping between St. Thomas and St. John, with the captain plotting stops based on what appeals to you. Snorkeling equipment is on board, drinks are included, and you can anchor at a quiet beach, pull up to Maho Crossroads or Dinghy's Beach Bar, or chase whatever the day brings.

The experience

The MV Aquarius, a 2019 Wellcraft with twin 300-horsepower engines, picks up your group at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook, or at Cruz Bay in St. John if you arrange it in advance. The captain designs the route around your preferences: some groups want to snorkel the coral reefs and watch for sea turtles from the bow; others anchor at a deserted beach for the afternoon; still others head to the beach bars and join the crowd. The boat carries snorkeling equipment for everyone, a Bluetooth sound system so you can play your own music, and plenty of seating up front for conversation or sunbathing.

Soda, water and beer are included throughout the seven-hour day. The boat operates around St. Thomas and St. John and the surrounding cays. The British Virgin Islands are not available under this charter, though they can be booked separately. Pickup is also available at Havensight or Lovango with advance notice. Call to arrange a location that works for your group.
