St Thomas Powerboat Rental 37' Intrepid with Captain
Spend the day steering where you want to go, with someone who knows every anchorage.
A full-day private powerboat rental in St Thomas for up to 12 passengers with a Coast Guard certified captain, snorkel gear for all ages, and a sound system. The captain customizes the route based on your interests—you're not following a fixed itinerary, you're choosing the day as it unfolds. Pickup is included; water and ice are on board.
The Experience
The boat leaves when your group is ready, and from there the day is yours to shape. A Coast Guard certified captain runs the 37-foot Intrepid and handles navigation, but the stops are up to you—Buck Island Reef National Monument for the coral, Lindquist Beach for the sand, Hull Bay or Water Island if you want to drift and swim, or a mix of all of them. The captain knows the waters and the conditions; he'll suggest what works with the weather and the tide, but you're not locked into a route. Groups run up to 12 people, so there's room for families, friends or a small corporate group without feeling crowded.
Snorkel gear in all sizes sits on board, along with a state-of-the-art JL Audio sound system with iPod hookup—bring your playlist or let the captain set the mood. A cooler of ice and bottled water stays cold throughout the day. The captain is your guide for the water itself: where the reefs are, what you're looking at underwater, which beaches have the calmest entry, how long you can safely spend at each stop. He's not narrating a tour; he's making sure the day works.
You don't need to plan every detail beforehand. If you wake up wanting to chase the sunset at Caneel Bay instead of the morning reef, or if the group decides halfway through that Sapphire Beach is calling, the captain adjusts. That flexibility is what makes a private charter different from a scheduled boat—the day belongs to your group, not to a timetable.

Top questions
Can we snorkel at multiple stops, or do we pick one beach for the day?
The captain can take you to several stops in a single day—Buck Island Reef, Lindquist Beach, Water Island and others are all reachable depending on conditions and how long you want to spend at each one. Snorkel gear is included for everyone, and the captain will suggest which reefs are best on the day you're going.
What if we don't know where we want to go when we book?
You don't have to decide in advance. The captain carries suggestions for all the top spots around St Thomas and the nearby islands, and you can choose once you're on the water based on the weather, the group's mood and what you want to do that day.
Is the captain included in the rental, or is that extra?
The captain is part of the rental—a Coast Guard certified skipper runs the boat for the full day and customizes the route with you. He handles navigation and safety so your group can focus on the water.
How many people can fit on the 37-foot boat?
The Intrepid holds up to 12 passengers comfortably, so it works for families, friend groups or small team outings without feeling cramped.
What's included beyond the boat and captain?
