What guests are saying about this trip

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

"Absolutely incredible day in the Virgin Islands aboard Phoenix! The boat was beautiful, spotless, and extremely comfortable, and the crew made the entire experience feel first class from start to finish. The water was crystal clear, the views were unreal, and the whole trip had the perfect mix of relaxing luxury and fun island energy. You can tell they really know the islands and how to create an unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting the Virgin Islands and want an amazing charter day, I can’t recommend this charter enough!" -Ben A.

"Our half-day snorkeling trip at St. John was amazing! Captains Cory and Spencer took us to 3 different sites which all had tons of sea life. They were helpful, patient, polite, and very knowledgeable about the areas. They even gave us recommendations for other places to visit based on our preferences." -Rich S.

"Absolutely our favorite thing to do in St Thomas! We have been out with Capt Cory 4 times and will be back in again next year. What a great time we have each time we go. Comfortable boat and so much fun!!! I can’t recommend booking with them more!" - Tracy J.

"Captain Kyle showed up on time and planned a great itinerary for the day. He was knowledgeable and showed great seamanship. He even stopped to make sure a boat wasn’t in distress. He was able to navigate through rough waters. He is a seasoned captain and curious to his guests and other boaters." -Tara F.

"I've been going to St. John with my family for years and this stands out as the best experience I've had in 10+ visits to the island over the past 25 years. Captain Kyle was fantastic the entire day: he was fun, knowledgeable of the area, had great recommendations in terms of the perfect itinerary. Additionally, Captain Kyle was outstanding in the lead up to the day and all communication. Just go-you won't regret it!" -David R.
