They took us for a motor ride to Buck's Island where we snorkeled over a wreck. One of the crew dove down to point out a lobster. There weee some fish, but unfortunately, not many. The water was calm but not as clear as one would hope. The crew did an amazing job and focused on safety. They had a nice rum punch they served on the way back. There was also water and coke, Diet Coke or sprite. The crew was very kid friendly the captain even had a few kids go by the helm. I really liked how they focused on safety, It was.hoping we were going to sail part of the time. They did put up,the main, and we motor-sailed, but it would've been better with the jib up too and motor off. Recommend this excursion if you're at St. Thomas.

We have been on many excursions here in the past but this is by far the best experience we have ever had!! Captain Patrick was fabulous. From reservation to end of excursion it was fabulous.

I could not recommend this company highly enough ( and I can be critical:)). But this was a perfect day!!! Thank you

He helped arrange for the cab from the airport. So basically we were whisked from airport to his boat from Crown Bay St. T to the National Park dock in St. J. All in including taxi, pre packed beer cooler and boat was only about $200 more than the public rime consuming option. Then on way back to St Thomas we did a full day excursion with the same captian Daniel and hit 5 snorkeling beaches one better than the next. Killed two birds with one stone for the taxi back and the snorkeling. Daniel was great and knowledgeable but chill at the same time. Highly recommend.

We stopped by a beach for lunch and did some sight seeing with caves where he told us some stories about the attractions. The level of accommodation was also stellar as he was able to be flexible with our needs. Some of our friends were sea sick and requested to be dropped off a beach to relax and picked up later. The captain planned our day around that and helped to keep time of when we would go pick up our friends. The coral reefs were so vibrant and we saw so many fishes in the ocean. The captain made us feel safe that he has our back in case we swayed too far from the boat or needed help. I am not a swimmer but the boat had noodles and life jackets that he did not mind taking out and putting away as we went about our day. I appreciated how respectful the captain was about the island and the rules implemented such as reef safe sunscreens, no touching the turtles and so on. We had a great time and learned a thing or two! Towards the end of the trip a friend realized he had forgotten something on the boat and sonic charters helped us locate the boat and captain to retrieve it. Coming from nyc, it would have been long gone but glad we got it back. We had a great time, I would recommend them for anyone visiting and want their own boat to get away from the crowds.

We knew we wanted to take an excursion from St. John and luckily, our resort (Ritz Carlton Club) was able to find us the perfect trip with Chris. We departed our hotel (with our own drinks and snacks), coolers, towels, diving/snorkel gear were provided. Chris also coordinated going through customs at British Virgin Islands, our first stop were the Baths. It was an amazing ride with the beautiful waters, scenic shorelines, and awesome captain. Chris is not only a skilled captain but a great tour guide having grown up and spending a lot of time in this region. He pointed out the top beaches and a lot of other landmarks along the way. We spent time navigating through the Baths (I suggest water shoes as the ground was fairly hot and some of the rocks, nooks, and tunnels you have to go through are pretty challenging for the some of us. We touched many of the other islands like Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and had lunch at the Soggy Dollar with Chris. Chris is personable, professional, and has a 'good seaside manner'--very skilled at the helm. Loved this trip, Chris and Local Legend made it one of our most memorable travels.

The reality is, several of the other tours that leave from the same place and go to the same island, Icacos, all follow the same itinerary for the same length of time. Really, the only difference is what they serve for lunch. If you drive yourself, you park on the street, which, in the early morning, wasn't an issue, and wait by the front gate of the marina. They come with a golf cart to pick you up and take you back to the boat. There are restrooms on the dock that you can use before boarding. There is also a restroom on the boat. Once on the boat, they go over safety instructions, and then they set sail. You can see the destination from the harbor, and it was a nice trip over to the island. They anchor the boat right next to several other tours, and you can go down a staircase into the water, and then wade to shore if you want to sit on the beach. Or, you can take the snorkel equipment and start snorkeling right then and there. Note, you are not allowed to take home any shells or coral from this island as it is a preserve. After spending a little more than an hour on the island, you can head back on board for lunch. They have a basket of the most amazing bread, then a spread of lunch meat and other fillings to make an amazing sandwich. They had a big bowl of fruit, chips, crackers, cookies, everything that made for a great meal. We aren't drinkers, but from the time you left the harbor throughout the entire trip, the drinks were flowing for anyone was interested. However, there is no pressure to partake, so those that weren't drinking don't feel singled out. A little while later, they pulled up the anchor and sailed to a reef about 10 or 15 minutes away. At that point everyone is encouraged to get off the boat to snorkel. When the snorkel time was over, we sailed back to the dock. They did throw bits of leftover bread into the water where we were snorkeling, which brought throngs of fish up to that area, so you could see lots of different fish swimming by. That was pretty cool! The crew was exceptionally nice, friendly, and funny. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a good time on a catamaran.
