Full-Day Private Boat Charter from St. John or St. Thomas
Description
Depart on your private island‑hopping adventure with Bonus Time Charters aboard one of our Power Catamarans and explore the very best of St. John and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. With a full day on the water, you’ll have time to snorkel with sea turtles at Maho Bay, swim ashore to quiet beaches like Scott Beach, Cinnamon Bay, and Trunk Bay, and discover stunning coral reefs at Waterlemon Cay, Salt Pond Bay, and Pelican Rock. Cruise around the South Shore for a more secluded vibe, with snorkeling stops at Little Lameshur, scenic coastline views, and a visit to Lime Out in Coral Bay—a floating taco bar and guest favorite for lunch on the water. Round out your day with a stop at Christmas Cove for a slice from Pizza Pi, the USVI’s iconic floating pizzeria.

The tour was everything we had asked for with a very professional and patient captain. Communication throughout the experience from booking to the day of the tour was very helpful. My family had a fantastic experience and that is more than I could have hoped for.
Our family took a full-day trip with Captain Andrew and experienced St. John from a whole new perspective. We saw and explored parts of the island only accessible by boat. The sea life and turtles in these areas were incredible to witness. The beauty of each Cay and beach was truly stunning. As a bonus, Captain Andrew shared knowledge about various landmarks and the island's history, which deepened our appreciation of St. John. We highly recommend this adventure! Thank you, Captain Andrew, for the unforgettable memories you helped us create!
You couldn't ask for a better experience! Captain Bryan was very receptive to our group and provided a great experience with great snorkeling locations and some local tales and history. I will book again with my next visit!
This was the best part of our trip, Steve was wonderful. The boast was spotless & in great shape. Steve took us to the perfect place to scuba dive, showed us great points of interest. He was prompt, and polite the whole time. By
We had such an awesome day on the water! We booked a full day private charter with family and we all had so much fun!! Captain Bryan was great, very knowledgeable, good host and we all enjoyed the day with him! Can’t wait to go back and see more beautiful islands
Great day. Captain Steve was very nice. He gave good information about the islands. Took us everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of snorkeling. Good time by all. Thanks.
We took two full day charters - both with Capt. Brian, joined by Capt. Caroline for one day. Excellent, well experienced captains who were both pleasant, entertaining and willing to accommodate our needs and questions the entire day. I highly recommend Bonus Time Charters!!!!
..Bryan with a "Y" was the coolest El'Capitan'o 1000%! Knowledgeable, not boring and took us to places our eyeballs will forever tell our brain not to ever forget when snorkeling in a real life aquarium..amongst other seaside adventures..very blessed..with RH LH & CH..2026..
We had a great time with Caroline and Brien and they did a wonderful job showing us the national parks in St. John and hooked us upwith some really nice snorkeling spots. We saw lots of turtles lots of stingrays lots of fish and had a wonderful experience on board as well as in water we also really loved our experience at pizza pi in Christmas Cove and look forward to coming back to St. John again.
Great day with Steve on the boat. He took us to the perfect snorkel spots and showed us the island of St John via the boat
