Great adventure, till the last five minutes
And all honesty it was a great experience. The only hiccup that seemed to come was the boat we were supposed to get had broke down so they had offered us a speedboat which we opted would be a good choice. The only downfalls you have to pay for the gas we were told it was gonna be 160 for gas and due to the fact that the boat we had originally booked was broke down they were going to credit us $60 for the gas by the time the trip ended and we had a great day we pulled into Harbor. We tipped the captain and then was told it was $200 for gas and we never got reimburse the $60. Maybe a little disappointed in the lack of communication. We did see some amazing things and we did have a lot of fun but when you’re told one thing and it doesn’t follow through, kinda makes you a little nervous and we still have another adventure with these guys to come up so hopefully maybe this will be made up in 48 hours.

Virgin Island Private Boat
We had an incredible day on the waters with Captain Phillip. Multiple extraordinary snorkeling stops with sightings of sea turtles, spotted searays, reef sharks, squids, and more tropical fish than you can imagine. The Gemini was perfect for our 6 adults and one infant. The rum punch was perfect and captain Phillip was a great host! Thanks for the perfect Father’s Day!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your Father's Day with US! We hope you'll join us again next time you're on island, DAD!

Gotta’ go private and seize the day.
What a fun filled day with Captain Phillip on Mazu with Seas the Day charters. His level of service, attention, fun facts and marine biology knowledge was exceptional.
We wanted to snorkel spots others may not … St Thomas … Christmas Cove with turtles and rare spotted eagle ray … Thatch cay for the caves and then Lovango Cay to finish the day with chill time to enjoying calmer waters and a final snorkel.
And To maximize our snorkel time we enjoyed custom lunches from Tasty Sips and Bites provisioning in Red Hook. 🥪

Best day of our vacation
We took a full day excursion with SEAs the Day. Captain Phillip and mate Colette provided an excellent experience. Although they have proposed trip schedule, they willing adjust to the wishes of the customer. They were informative about the different islands and very attentive to our needs around libation/hydration, helping with snorkel equipment, and performing photographer duties. We had an all around great day!
Operator response
We do always have suggestions, but certainly can "change our sails" if you have a spot picked out that is a Must SEE! Until next time, Fair Winds and Following SEAS!

Book the trip
We had a great day with Captain Judi and Megan. Megan taught my daughter so much about marine life and helped her feel comfortable snorkeling. It was her favorite part of our trip to STJ! Thank you both for a great day on the water. We will definitely book again on our next trip and hope our paths cross! 🩷🐢🦈

Great private charter day!
We had an awesome day with Brodie taking us around to a few different beautiful spots here in the USVI. Brodie let us plan our day how we wanted and offered suggestions to some awesome spots! The boat was spacious, clean, had a bathroom, and offered plenty of drinks and snorkel gear. There was also a Bluetooth sound system to connect your own music.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your day with us!

There was a group of 7 of us from Detroit and we had the best time with Captain Dave!
