About

13. Long description

Makaira is a 42′ Renaissance Prowler, and the half day is a relaxed, no-rush way to get out on the water around St. Thomas and St. John. The setup is all about comfort — oversized bucket seats, bow loungers, and bean bags — so even a shorter trip feels like a proper hangout rather than a quick spin. The captain points you toward the best nearby snorkel spots and beaches, with local beer and seltzer aboard to keep it easy. For groups who want a laid-back few hours on the water without committing to a full day, it's an easy yes.

Real experiences from guests who’ve explored this trip with us

"Our party of 12 chartered Vibin' for a full-day British Virgin Islands tour. Captain Sean and his wife Jen are the most gracious and fun hosts — no detail left unattended. They took our passport info a week ahead to save time at BVI customs. An experience beyond our wildest dreams aboard Vibin'!"—

Taylor A.

"We chartered Vibin' with our 2 kids for a full-day USVI trip. Completely BA and the boat is immaculate. Tons of space. Snacks provided and always attentive. We swam with sea turtles, snorkeled on a sunken ship, ate lunch at Lovango St. John. Sean and Jen are awesome and very knowledgeable. Kids said it was the best day ever. Worth every penny!"— Sam W.

"We booked a full day charter of the USVI with Sean and Caroline. Top notch from beginning to end. We had 3 infants with 3 families and they were incredibly accommodating. The vibe was truly great and we even asked them to extend the day by an hour because we were having such a good time! Would 100% book with Sean again."— George T.

"Vibin' provided us with our best day of vacation. The luxurious boat was big, clean, and provided everything we wanted. Captain Sean was extremely knowledgeable in the area and surrounding islands — allowing for optimal experience and no wasted time. Him and the crew were very friendly and service was top notch."— Tom R.
