About This Tour
This full or half day private charter will offer you a great introduction to the beautiful Virgin Islands National Park. Our captains live locally and love sharing the beauty of the place they call home with visitors. Our boat, Shady Lady, is a 32' power catamaran that is the perfect boat for the waters of the USVI. She's wide and very stable and nearly 2/3 of the deck is shaded. Not to worry, though, as there is plenty of seating in the sun. We will take you on a comfortable cruise pointing out landmarks and giving you some historical context to the places you will see. We will do some snorkeling on some of the most beautiful, vibrant coral reefs you'll ever see. You will swim with turtles in crystal clear, warm water consisting of a myriad of shades of blue. There will also be plenty of time to relax and listen to our awesome sound system and sip on a cold drink. For full day charters, we can also plan a stop for lunch. Your private charter will be the best day of your vacation!
