The experience
The catamaran leaves for the first snorkel site as soon as everyone is aboard. You'll spend the morning at an offshore cay with the reef, then sail back toward the boat's floating kitchen. That's when PiZZA Pi pulls alongside (the only floating food boat in the Virgin Islands), and lunch comes directly to the catamaran: pizza, fresh salad, fruit, and cookies. The open bar runs all afternoon, so you can order drinks while you eat or between the water and the beach.
After lunch and a break on the beach, the catamaran heads to a second snorkel stop for more time in the water. All snorkeling gear is provided, and the whole trip is built for families: infants and small children can come along, and the crew handles the logistics so you just show up and get in the water. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, call ahead with 72 hours' notice and the kitchen can arrange alternatives, though special meals may cost extra.
The catamaran is a luxury model, which means more space and stability than smaller boats, and the schedule is tight enough to fit two full snorkel sites plus lunch into a single afternoon. Public transportation runs nearby if you're not driving, and the Westin has parking available for a fee.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want two separate snorkel sites plus a real lunch without splitting the day into separate activities: the catamaran schedule and the floating food boat make it possible to do both reefs and eat well inside one afternoon.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 12 years); Infant (under 3): free.
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 water like at the snorkel sites around St. John?
The two offshore cays have healthy reefs with fish and coral. The catamaran takes you to premier snorkeling destinations surrounding St. John, and the open-water sites are deeper and clearer than the shallower reefs closer to shore.
Is the pizza lunch actually good, or is it a gimmick?
PiZZA Pi is the only floating food boat in the Virgin Islands, and it's a real restaurant operation. The pizza and salad are made fresh and delivered directly to the catamaran. It's not a snack. It's the main meal of the day.
How much time do you actually spend in the water?
The trip is five hours total, with two separate snorkel stops. The first stop is in the morning, then lunch and a beach break, then a second snorkel session in the afternoon. Most of that time is in or near the water.
Do I need to bring my own towel?
Towels are not provided with the standard booking. To help conserve the island's fresh water, you can bring one from your hotel or home, or you can arrange a towel rental at checkout for an additional cost.
What if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?
Call the office at least 72 hours before your trip to arrange an alternative meal. Special dietary items may cost extra, but the kitchen can accommodate most restrictions.
