    Dinghy's beach bar

    Everything was perfect! It was my third time in St Thomas and the previous times I had been on a 50ft sailing catamaran. Those are fun, but Chris and his center console are way better. Chris is very friendly and knowledgeable to both the areas around and operating the boat to its fullest potential. He has high quality snorkeling gear, a smooth and fast boat, and even gave us ice cold waters. I have been a boater since I was a baby and I can confidently say Chris knows what he is doing and how to operate in a safe yet efficient manner. Chris is also amazing with kids and tells jokes, as well as gives a great deal of history about the area. We had a hard time booking with a different company, but Chris came to save the day and it was the best day of our trip by far! We went snorkeling in 4 different places, seeing everything from a shipwreck, to coral reefs, to loads of fish, to amazing sea turtles. We even went to a beach bar that had great drinks and a beautiful view. Chris is the best and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone visiting St Thomas and the surrounding islands. I look forward to seeing him and going on his awesome boat the next time I come out to this fantastic place.

    So a friend of ours recommended Chris Klein for a private charter. I'm glad he did. We had an awesome day. We went out for around 8 hours on a private charter. We cruised around St John on our way to the Baths where we hiked and snorkeled. Chris even showed my son and I a great underwater cave that we got to explore. Chris was one of the best captains I've ever been around. I've been on numerous boats and have been in some really rough seas; Chris navigated the sea like a true champ. You could tell he knew his stuff and was backed by a lifetime of experience. He was attentive to our needs and constantly made sure we had whatever we needed. As we passed different spots he took time to tell us about them and really knew the area. He then took us to eat at Cooper Island, which was great. All in all one of the best days on the water we've had. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chis at Local Legend without hesitation!

    This was our second charter ('23 Capt. Nate and '25 Capt Spence) with Caribbean Blue and both times…read morehave been amazing! Captain Spence brought us around St. John for snorkeling and sightseeing. The islands have a much more picturesque view when on the water. Our group of nine saw nurse sharks, sting rays, lots of fish and "an army of squids" as my daughter happily exclaimed! Both trips we've taken with Caribbean Blue have been the highlight of the water time on vacation! We have done a group catamaran snorkel excursion and while fun in its own way, for the money, and size of our family (5 and 9) the true better value is with a private charter: more time on the water, more time in the water and waaaaay less clumsy landlubbers trying to figure out which end of the snorkel goes in their mouth and how to get their feet in the fins....... Make sure you stop for lunch at Limeout! There's something magical about floating at the taco bar. The food is unbelievably delicious and not what you'd expect from a floating restaurant in Coral Bay. The staff really are prompt and efficient at keeping the spilled food around you cleaned up! I'd highly recommend not forgetting hooded swim shirts for your day on the water. Sunscreen is not as effective as one would expect and the level of sunburn is what you'd probably receive if you were trapped in the alien tractor beam! I do know that if Capt. Spence had a stash of shirts for sale onboard we might have bought them all! If you're heading to STT and want to make forever memories book with Caribbean Blue! Hearing squeals of laughter from your kids when the boat is underway and getting blasted with salt spray while taking it all in from the stern seat sitting next to your wife is a parental joy that is on par with when you were Santa's helper when your kids were 3-10 years old. Yep, the feeling is that good! Even when you're getting fitted for the red suit that you won't be able to take off for 7-10 days.

    My family had the best day. I highly recommend using Captain Nick , he did an awesome job. Will…read moredeff be using this charter service again!

    We booked a private charter for a group of 7 and Sonic charters gave us the best day on the island…read more The captain gave us some suggestions for a snorkeling excursion and took us to some of his hidden gems. 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.

    STELLAR!! Captain Joe and Catie were friendly, informative, entertaining, cared about our safety,…read moreand engaging... Joe gave historical background that was fascinating to questions we had as well as information about the area that was unsolicited. We really enjoyed the snacks provided and the drinks were amazing- that Pain Killer really hit the spot- thanks Catie!!! There is a nice boat bathroom on board which was super convenient. We felt the amount of time at both spots was great- often times places let you snorkel for 15-20 minutes and ours were about 45 minutes per spot. The most guests they take per outing is 12 and our group totaled 9- it was so nice to not have an overcrowded boat filled with people and you wait to get into the water for so long. Not with our group- we quickly were able to get snorkel gear and head into the water to see some really cool groupings of coral and fish along with a turtle at the first spot that swam within ONE foot of me. We even saw Barry the barracuda situated under our boat. Remember though- you should NEVER REACH OUT AND TOUCH AQUATIC LIFE OF ANY KIND just because you want to and are curious. You do not have permission to handle, touch, or step on anything! We got some amazing video using our water proof phone cases. Book with Joe and Catie- you absolutely will NOT regret it! (The review giving 2 stars is NUTS... spending 45 minutes snorkeling at each spot for a half day excursion is way more than most tour companies provide- typically 15-20 minutes in our vast experience... so 45 minutes at both spots was fantastic!)

    We found Someday Charters on Yelp and are so so thankful! We booked them while on a Norwegian…read moreCruise to St. Thomas. Their pick up site was just a short walk away from where we got off the ship. Our family of 11 were the only people on board and the price was less than if we had booked from the excursion choices. We had a personalized cruise with Catie and Captain Joe. They felt going to Water Island off of Honeymoon Beach would give us a great first snorkel experience for our grandkids, as there are so many turtles there. They were correct! Turtles galore, plus Eagle Rays, remora fish, a box fish and many smaller fish were seen. We snorkel often and loved it just as much as our family. We had the Moana soundtrack playing while having snacks and drinks, got plenty of pictures, and snorkeled in and out of the boat for hours. Book this 1/2 day months ahead to make sure to get a spot. You will not be disappointed.

    We probably had a few more rum drinks in us than the instruction manual recommends, but the staff…read moregot us geared up, life jackets on, safety talk done, and sent us out across the bright blue water of Saint Thomas. These machines are no joke either modern Yamaha and Sea-Doo jet skis that'll absolutely fly across the water if you let them. Next thing you know, we're out there like a couple of overgrown kids checking off a bucket-list item I normally wouldn't splurge on. Another couple pulled up beside us and suddenly it turned into what felt like the Caribbean Grand Prix. Hard banking turns, hopping wakes, spraying each other with rooster tails of water like a bunch of irresponsible pirates. At one point it felt less like jet skiing and more like bumper cars on the ocean. The laughter, the shouting, the pure reckless joy of the moment it was childish, ridiculous, and absolutely unforgettable. I'm not saying we broke every rule... but I'm also not saying we didn't. Now don't get me wrong be responsible out there. These guys take safety seriously, with briefings, life jackets, and a safety boat nearby while you ride. But I'll say this: from the friendly staff to the convenient location (even our cab driver told us to go there), it turned into one of the most fun memories of the whole trip. Nobody got hurt, nothing got damaged, we didn't get hauled off by the marine police and somehow we rode back to the dock laughing like kids who just got away with something. I usually save my money for boat tours and cruises... but this? Totally worth it. One of the wildest, funniest afternoons I've ever had on the water.

    Update May 6, 2024…read more We used Tropical Adventure - St. Thomas for our rides to and from the airport again during our stay on St. Thomas. Once again, the service was excellent! Omar, our driver, was always on time and had the SUV in tip top shape. Clean inside and out and smelled nice. Omar did a great job navigating us back to the airport on the final day of Carnival. Continue to highly recommend Tropical Adventure - St. Thomas for the private SUV airport transfer.
