    Everything was AMAZING!! Meatball is the BEST! He took us to the most beautiful locations. Let us take our time. So much knowledge about the islands. He answered every question. Hilarious as well!! I honestly can't say which beach we liked better out of the 3 he took us to. Definitely wish we did a full day trip instead of a half a day, but we will come back! We wish he could have been our tour guide the entire time we were here. #governormeatball

    Such a fun snorkeling trip. 2 amazing stops to snorkel, pizza delivery, dance party, and beautiful sunset! They picked us up on John Island (most people got on at St Thomas). We saw turtles, sting ray, manta ray, tarpon, and mutton. It was the best thing we did all vacation, 10/10 highly recommend!!!

    On the boat  picking up @ St John

    John & Andy were high energy, fun, and engaging the entire trip. We were hoping to see more turtles but John was able to point 2 out and a lot more marine life which was great! Drinks at the end were good, but if you're looking to drink throughout the trip this may not be the tour for you. I personally didn't mind since I didn't want to be drunk in the water ‍ but to each their own

    My family went on the snorkeling pizza sunset cruise. It was recommended by a local and we are soooo happy we listened. CJ, Darien, and John were responsible yet fun and entertaining! Our trip was filled with seeing an array of sea life, a boat pizza delivery, a beautiful sunset and dancing until we docked . My kids had a great time. Our son was given an honorary 4th mate award for his dancing and finding 2 spotted Eagle Ray! I was nervous about my 8 year old going snorkeling but he did great!!! This was a unique experience and worth the money!

    What amazing experience. Reasonably priced, booked everything online. You arrive 15 minutes early to check in at their retail shop. Parking is always a challenge in St. Thomas we were fortunate to park at the parking structure across the street. We were greeted by Jamie who was the host for the adventure. She was very nice and friendly the whole trip. Drinks and snacks are included, also after you are done snorkeling alcoholic beverages are available. Our pilot Andy was extremely professional and knowledgeable, as a boat pilot myself whe chatted about the vessel. Which was immaculate and well maintained which put my mind at ease. We went to two locations to snorkel, first was Maho Bay, St. John where we saw several sea turtles which was amazing. Then we went to St. James which is a private island and the reef there was incredible with tons of marine life and we also saw more turtles. They provide the snorkels, masks, fins and a flotation device FYI, we brought our own. The overall experience was amazing I would recommend if you are either vacationing on St. Thomas or St. John. Both Jamie and Andy were excellent hosts every step of the way.

    We went out today with CJ and Ren and they were amazing. The trip was amazing. We did see Sea Turtles at both locations Caneel Bay and Christmas Cove at Little St. James. We did not see them while snorkeling, although others on the boat did! I was sea turtle hunting and swam pretty close up on a ~4 ft barracuda in all his glory, lol. The Pizza Pi at Little St. James is made on a boat and delivered by dinghy. Sunset did not disappoint and the drinks were flowing. This is a must! Thank you CJ and Ren!! Until next time

    Snorkeling by St James island

    I took the "Do It All Trip: Snorkel, Pizza & Sunset Cruise" tour on February 1, 2024. I paid $104. Before I signed up for the tour at their retail store in Cruz Bay, I asked if they had vegan option for pizza. Both of their staffs who were there then said yes. I asked again when I checked in on the day of cruise, and the staff at the retail store (different person than the two I had spoken with) said yes. But there was no vegan pizza. All pizzas had cheese on them. The captain offered me salad as an alternative, which wasn't an acceptable alternative to pizza in my book. After two snorkeling, I was rather cold and wanted to have something warm. I stayed hungry until we finally came back to Cruz Bay. I asked for a $25 refund for the misinformation and inconvenience I suffered, and they promptly refunded me with an apology, which was nice. In terms of snorkeling locations, since this was a boat tour, I automatically assumed that both locations were somewhere offshore only reachable by a boat. But I was rather disappointed to discover that one of them was Maho Bay which was easily accessible by a car. Since I was staying on St John for a week with a rental car, I had been there multiple times. There was no point for me to pay for a boat ride there. The snorkeling spot was right by the beach where I had been. I wish they gave me a warning when I signed up at Cruz Bay. The other snorkeling location Great St James island was new to me, and I enjoyed seeing many corals and fish there. The captain and crew were professional and cheerful. Overall, I would have enjoyed this tour thoroughly if I wasn't staying on St John, and if I didn't have dietary restrictions.

    What a fun evening excursion! First mates Jake, Sierra and Chris were awesome hosts, who kept the energy alive with music, dance and jokes. We enjoyed two snorkeling spots off St John, where I was able to spot several starfish, stingrays, a spotted eagle ray, trunkfish, turtles, giant conch, sand worms and other assorted fish. Sierra and Chris were generous with the drink, and we were provided snacks throughout the afternoon. We stopped at Christmas Cove, where we ate pizza from the famous Pizza Pi boat. We stopped for sunset photos and a celebration, including a conga line. The price is quite reasonable for everything you get in this 6-hour trip. Stop thinking and just book this trip - you will not regret!

    We booked the Do it all snorkel trip and at first I was a little hesitant about what we were in store for because of the low price-you know, you get what you pay for. When I saw the boat and felt the energy of the awesome crew, I knew we were in good hands! We had a blast and went to two great snorkel spots. Christmas Cove was our favorite. Super clear water and we were blessed to see two dolphins swimming at the bottom! The pizza was great, the music was great and the cocktails were the best! I mean who doesn't love a Painkiller and a free for all ice chest with unlimited beer! 10/10 recommend!

    Had a great time on the Reef Surfari for the snorkeling, pizza, and sunset cruise on 7/29/24. First, the price was very reasonable for a 5.5 hour excursion. The captain and deck hands were very personable and knowledgeable about the marine life that we were seeing. At the first stop, deckhand John got in the water with us at Maho Bay to help us to locate sea turtles and to answer questions that people had. At both snorkel stops, captain Andy gave us great advice on where to snorkel I'd we wanted to see fish, coral, turtles, or a sunken sailboat. They were also great about educating the group on what was proper protocol for interacting with the animals in an effort to ensure that we did not harm the ecosystem. After stop 2 at Christmas Cove, pizza was delivered from Pizza Pi and the bar was open! Pretty good painkillers and rum punch plus a selection of domestic and local beers and a hard seltzer option. After dinner, we were taken to a spot to watch the sunset over St. Thomas. Tunes were blasting, some people floated in the bay on pool noodles, but everyone was having a great time. On the boat trip to drop off guests at St. John and the return trip to Red Hook, the dance party was in full effect! I've done a number of these types of trips over the years on different Caribbean islands, but this was truly one of the best I've ever experienced and several other patrons were saying the same thing. If you are staying on St. John or St. Thomas, want to do some snorkeling, and like a good party, book this trip. You won't regret it!

    Awesome Time! This is our 12th trip to USVI and Good Day is hands down the best charter we have…read moreever had. The company really makes you feel like you are family. I cannot say enough about our Captain Dusty. He was incredible! He took us to the Baths, Willy T and the Indians. Jumped off the top of Willy T for hours and that Crispy Chicken sandwich was amazing! Great snorkeling, great lunch and Captain's good company. Dusty kept our two 12 YO boys happy by speeding over the waves and lifting them off their seats. He also let them experience actually driving the boat all the way down the channel (under his supervision of course). Made both of them feel like they were the Captains for the day. We have chartered boats all over the Virgin Islands and we have never experienced such a unique blend of professionalism, courtesy and sincere desire to make your day on the water the best day ever. We will not charter with anyone else after being spoiled by Good Day. In fact my Brother just booked three of their boats for October. If you are looking to spend one of the most memorable days of your life, call Good Day; they will make it happen! Why are you still reading? Pick up the phone and call or text Dusty!

    Summer 2010 I visited USVI for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It was my first trip to…read morethe Caribbean and I was not disappointed. While sightseeing was fun and the general island vibe was noteworthy, the most memorable part of my experience was all thanks to Good Day Charters. The Captain and his crew were very knowledgeable and entertaining. They really cater to what you want to get out of the trip. I was a snorkeling "virgin" and Dusty was very patient helping me to figure out how to get everything on correctly and even gave me some pointers on how to swim deeper and see all the fascinating wildlife underwater. The staff was great at navigating the waters and getting us up close to the action... and keeping us fed and hydrated when we weren't floating with the fishies. When choosing a charter to have the experience of a lifetime, I can't see any other option than Good Day Charters. I can't wait to get back and do it all over 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.
