St John: Pizza Pi Snorkel Sail & Floating Food Boat Lunch

Summary

Snorkel St John’s clear waters then pizza lunch delivered by boat

You’ll sail out from St John on a catamaran with local crew, snorkel bright reefs around offshore cays, then get fresh pizza delivered right to your boat from Pizza Pi (the only floating food boat here). There’s an open bar after snorkeling and time to relax on a quiet beach before heading back—easygoing, sun-warmed and honestly pretty fun.

What’s the experience like?

There was already a salty breeze on my face when we pushed off from St John — I’d barely finished my coffee and someone (maybe our captain? I never caught his name) was joking about which island had the best iguanas. The catamaran felt big but not fancy-fancy, just enough space to flop down and watch the water go all glassy blue as we headed for the first snorkel spot. I kept hearing laughter from a family at the front; one of their kids shrieked when a pelican dove nearby. It’s funny how quickly you forget you’re with strangers out here.

We anchored near some little cay — honestly, I couldn’t tell you which one, but our guide pointed out a sea turtle almost right away. The water was cooler than I expected, but in that good way where it wakes you up. There were these tiny purple fish everywhere, darting around like they owned the place. When we climbed back on board, someone handed me fruit and a salad that tasted super fresh (maybe because I was starving?). The main event though: pizza for lunch, delivered straight from this wild-looking boat called Pizza Pi. You can smell oregano before you even see them pull up — it’s kind of surreal watching your food float over on a dinghy.

I tried to order in my best “pizza voice” but just ended up laughing with the crew. After lunch, there was more snorkeling or just hanging out on a quiet beach — I wandered off for a bit and let my feet sink into the sand while sipping something cold from the open bar (they only start serving after snorkeling, which makes sense). Sun got hot fast but there’s shade if you want it. By then, everyone seemed sun-drunk and relaxed, swapping stories about other islands or just listening to the waves slap against the hull. Sometimes I still think about that pizza smell mixing with salt air — weird combo but it works.
