Join Captain Joe and Catie aboard a modern catamaran for a four-hour, small-group trip from Yacht Haven Grande. Snorkel at Turtle Cove and nearby reefs, look for green sea turtles and colorful fish, then relax at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island. Gear, snacks, fresh water, and an open bar after the water activities are included.

“Fantastic time out on the water with Joe and Catie. They were both very professional, the boat was great, Catie was very knowledgeable about all the marine life, and it was nice to be part of a smaller group than the giant 50+ person boats - not to mention they took special care to make sure we made it back to our cruise ship on a short stop in St Thomas, which we really appreciated. Can't say enough good things - Someday is worth a day of your vacation, whether you're staying on the island or visiting on a cruise!”

“Our Captain Aaron did a fantastic jump of reading the group and meeting our needs. The waters were super rough the day we boated but we made the most of it. The only negative was that the sample itinerary listed is not realistic. We thought we would be able to see all the beaches listed, it should be clear that it is a sample list. We only made 3 stops on a full day excursion.”
