Private Boat Charters: The 15 Best Days Afloat

29 tours  ·  from $169 a head

A chartered boat is priced by the hull, not the head, so it only makes sense once there are six of you. These 15 compare the powerboats and catamarans on capacity, hours and what the crew throws in.

“Our family has been traveling to St. John for nearly 10 years. We always reserve a private boat charter for one day during our stay. Every other charter has always been top notch. Unfortunately, I can not say the same about our Stormy Pirates Read more”

Review of Caribbean Blue Charters in St. Thomas, a private 35-foot boat day with snorkeling, beach stops, coolers, and flexible routes.

“What an awesome day on the water we had with Captain Nate!! He was super friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. He took us to 5 different snorkel spots around St. John and St. Thomas, including Lovango, Whistling Cay, Flanagan Island, Booby Rock and the Ledges of Little St. James. The whole family loved each of them, although our daughers' favorites were Booby Rock where we saw a nurse shark and snorkeled around the entire island, and the Ledges of Little St. James where we saw 3 Baracuda's and a sea turtle. Captain Nate said we were his second hardest-core adventure snorkel family, which we took as…”

Review of Max Charters’ six-hour St. Thomas sail with snorkeling, Mediterranean lunch, open bar, and a six-person limit.

“It was a terrific experience sailing. Stopped at three snorkeling locations spending one hour at each spot. Hunter and Jamie were terrific hosts. We were served lunch, drinks and snacks. Two of the snorkeling spots were on St. John and you could spend time on the beautiful beaches if you don’t want to snorkel. Snorkeling equipment is provided. The experience is semiprivate, limited to 6 people on our trip. Would definitely do it again.”
