Golden Hours Snorkel & Sunset Cruise

Soak up the magic of late-afternoon light on this 2- to 3-hour cruise (timing depends on the time of year). This trip blends snorkeling, sightseeing, and pure relaxation—perfect for winding down island-style.

We’ll kick things off with a snorkel stop, often at Maho Bay or Scott Bay, where sea turtles are known to make an appearance. Depending on the season, we may swing by Christmas Cove for a bite from Pizza Pi, the floating pizzeria.

As the sun begins to dip, your captain will find the perfect spot to catch the sky light up in shades of orange, pink, and gold. Bring your favorite drinks, relax on deck, and soak in the views—there’s no better way to wrap up a day in paradise.

*Fuel is not included in the charter cost and will be billed based on usage at current pump rates.

Frequently Asked Questions about our day charters in the virgin islands

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s everything you need to know before you hop aboard for an unforgettable day on the water.

Fuel is not included and will be charged based on how far we travel. We’ll give you an estimate before we go so there are no surprises.

We’re licensed for up to 10 guests on Bonus Time (29′ Power Catamaran) and 12 guests on Down Time (32′ Power Catamaran) or Caribe Express (36′ Aquila Power Catamaran). The base charter cost covers up to six passengers, with each additional passenger incurring an additional fee.

We offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook (St. Thomas) and the National Park Visitor Center in Cruz Bay (St. John). We also offer pick-ups at Sapphire Marina on St. Thomas and The Westin on St. John for an additional fee.

Please note: The Westin does not allow use of their dock—pick-up there will be beachside, with water typically knee to waist deep. This option is available only to Westin guests and only aboard our two smaller vessels.

Gratuity is never expected, but always appreciated! If you had a great time out on the water, a standard tip is around 20% of the charter price. Your captain puts in a lot of work behind the scenes—planning your day, checking weather and sea conditions, prepping the boat, and making sure everything runs smoothly—often starting days in advance. A tip is a great way to say thanks for all the effort that goes into making your trip unforgettable.

We don’t have a bathroom on the boat, but you’ll have access to clean marina restrooms before and after your trip. And don’t worry—while we’re out, we’re never far from a land-based restroom if needed. Honestly, it’s a much more comfortable option than a tiny boat toilet anyway!

We do have a comfortable and spacious bathroom aboard our 36′ Aquila (Caribe Express).

Cancellations made at least 72 hours in advance are fully refundable. If the weather forces us to cancel, you’ll get a full refund or the option to reschedule—your call.

Island weather can change fast! A passing shower usually isn’t a problem, but if the captain determines it’s unsafe to head out, we’ll reschedule or refund you—your safety comes first.

A little breeze is part of island life, but we always adjust our route to make the ride as smooth and enjoyable as possible. If it’s too rough, we’ll talk through options with you.

We provide coolers, ice, and bottled water on board. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks, drinks, or even cocktails—just no glass, please. Food is up to you, but we’re happy to stop at one of the awesome floating restaurants or beach bars along the way.

Trips aboard our 36′ Aquila (Caribe Express) include snacks and an open bar.

Sunscreen (reef-safe if you have it), sunglasses, a towel, a swimsuit, and whatever snacks or drinks you’d like. We’ll take care of the rest!

Absolutely! We’ve got snorkel gear, floats, and pool noodles available for you to use—and we’ll take you to some of the best spots around.
