Snorkeling in St John with Lime Out floating taco bar
Snorkel the reefs, then float at a swim-up bar with a drink in hand
A full-day sailing and snorkeling activity in St John aboard a luxury catamaran, with a morning reef stop, afternoon lunch and open bar at Lime Out floating taco bar. The catamaran carries snorkel gear; two tacos and all beverages at Lime Out are included. The trip runs 6.5 hours and operates with a live English-speaking guide.
The Experience
The day starts with a cruise on a luxury catamaran out to one of the coral reefs in the U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll snorkel the reef in the morning—gear is provided—then the boat sails on to Lime Out, the only floating taco bar in the Virgin Islands and listed on Time magazine's 2019 list of The World's Greatest Places. The whole morning unfolds on the water with no planning needed on your end.
Lunch happens on board or floating in the water: two tacos per person are included, and the open bar runs for the rest of the afternoon. You'll have time to drift, swim, and order a craft cocktail at the swim-up bar without leaving the water. After lunch, the catamaran heads to another stop where you can float and lounge before a downwind sail back. Weather conditions determine if sailing is safe that day, so the operator may adjust the itinerary if needed.
What’s included
- Snorkel equipment for the reef stop.
- two tacos per person at Lime Out.
- full open bar on the catamaran after snorkeling.
- all fees and taxes.

Is this one for you?The pace is leisurely—morning snorkel, then floating and lounging for the rest of the day—so this suits anyone who wants time in the water without rushing between stops. The catamaran handles all the sailing and navigation, and lunch is waiting when you arrive, so there's no planning or coordinating once you board.
