Full-Day Private Boat Charter from St. John or St. Thomas
Overview
Depart on your private island‑hopping adventure with Bonus Time Charters aboard one of our Power Catamarans and explore the very best of St. John and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
With a full day on the water, you’ll have time to snorkel with sea turtles at Maho Bay, swim ashore to quiet beaches like Scott Beach, Cinnamon Bay, and Trunk Bay, and discover stunning coral reefs at Waterlemon Cay, Salt Pond Bay, and Pelican Rock.
Cruise around the South Shore for a more secluded vibe, with snorkeling stops at Little Lameshur, scenic coastline views, and a visit to Lime Out in Coral Bay—a floating taco bar and guest favorite for lunch on the water. Round out your day with a stop at Christmas Cove for a slice from Pizza Pi, the USVI’s iconic floating pizzeria.
