About

13. Long description

Northside is a high-performance 37′ Axopar built for fast, smooth cruising around St. Thomas and St. John. The speed means you can take in more of the North Shore in a day — Maho Bay turtles, Christmas Cove, hidden beaches — with time to actually enjoy each stop. Cushioned seating and shade keep it comfortable between swims, and the captain customizes the day to your group, whether that's snorkeling, beach-hopping, or a bit of everything. Run captain-only with a cooler aboard and flexible 4-, 6-, or 8-hour options, it's an easy, adaptable day on the water.

What guests are saying about this trip

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

"RJ is the best boat captain in all of the Virgin Islands. Very top notch! Amazing views with a great boat. Boat was very comfortable — even in choppy conditions the boat was very smooth. When you book with Northside Charter please request RJ. He knows the islands very well and he is very knowledgeable and experienced."— Kris S

"We highly recommend chartering with Northside Charters for your next trip to the Virgin Islands — USVI or BVI. We spent two days with Captain Mason and his crew and had a blast both days. Customized trips for snorkeling adventures for our family (including our 3-year-old) as well as island-hopping to beach bars for the adults. The boat was meticulous and looked brand new."— Erik S

"Captain Mason and Caroline did a great job. Full day charter through the BVI — got us to popular spots while avoiding the crowds, and customs was very easy. Beautiful and immaculate boat. Would highly recommend."— Amanda L.

"We've been to USVI many times but this was our first charter with Northside. Captain RJ was phenomenal — he knew exactly where to take us and made the whole day feel personalized. The boat was fast, clean and extremely comfortable. This is the only charter we will use when we return."— Lila S.

"We came back again this year and chartered. The only disappointment was not having enough days. Captain and crew went above and beyond, finding the best snorkel spots and making customs into the BVI a breeze. Excellent experience from start to finish."— Allison K.

"Best private charter experience we have had. Captain was professional, the boat was immaculate, and the day was perfectly paced. We saw sea turtles, gorgeous reefs, and beautiful beaches — all without the crowds. Will absolutely be back."— Kelsey H.

"RJ is the best boat captain in all of the Virgin Islands. Very top notch! Amazing views with a great boat to go along with it! Boat was very comfortable even in what seemed to be chomping conditions the boat was very smooth. The captain knows the islands very well and he is very knowledgeable and experienced!"- Chris S.
