Snorkel St. John Tour from Sapphire and Margaritaville

This was awesome D’Haden and Nick were awesome!! It was so wonderful !! The island and snorkeling stops were awesome!!

Always a great experience! D’haden & Max were awesome! Totally recommend this tour when visiting St Thomas!

We had a great time snorkeling at three different locations around beautiful St John. Captain Scott and First mate Nick made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Food and drinks from start to finish. Knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the wildlife we were able to view. We even had a guided tour with Nick on our last stop. Appreciated the emphasis on safety and caring for the fragile environment we were visiting.

The Breakaway II crew (Captain Jeff, and mates Nick, Christian, and Fairley) gave us an amazing day on the water around St John. The information about the geography of the region and the coves we snorkel at was informative and interesting. The breakfast - and *especially(* the lunch - were so far beyond what you'd expect to geton a trip like this (we had fresh shrimp, meats and cheeses for sandwiches, Caesar salad and these great little brownies with kiwi on them). And the drinks were enough to keep you hydrated on the way our and enough to get you a "little tispy" on the way back in. The sites they picked were great - plenty of fish, turtles, rays and more to see while doing our swims. We stayed at Margaritaville, so pickup for us was right off the dock on property. The entire trip was 6+ hours -- plenty of time in the water, and cool sites to go to. FWIW: I prefer the powerboat option to the catamaran option -- our boat had 20 people onboard, where the catamarans usually have 50+, and the good sized engines on it got us to sites quickly and smoothly. We went out with them twice - our first week was with another couple, and we had so much fun with this crew that we booked the second week to go with our 4 adult kids. the price on the tour is absolutely worth it - it's an entire day of fun, food, fish and a damn good time.

Captain D-Hayden and fury mate Nick were amazing. Three snorkel stops and all were awesome! Highly recommend.

The captain and first mate were excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Super fun day! Great food and drink

Snorkeling Day Trip from 9am-3pm. While the crew was genuinely hospitable, the vessel was well-maintained, the snorkeling equipment was adequate, and the meals served were enjoyable against the breathtaking island backdrop, I do believe there are several operational refinements that could elevate this excursion from good to exceptional. My primary observation centers on time management. A significant portion of our itinerary--approximately 40 to 50 minutes--was dedicated to extensive on-site briefings and detailed contextual talks about marine life and beach preferences. Additionally, the liability paperwork was quite lengthy, which further reduced our active water time. While I fully appreciate that educational commentary enriches the experience, I respectfully noted that a substantial amount of this information could have been effectively shared during transit (such as the 20-minute ride out) or consolidated into concise visual aids and summary boards upon arrival. Regarding the itinerary, our group had specifically requested a few nearby beaches located only 5 to 10 minutes further along. Although we understood that ours was a smaller group of eight on a partial-day charter, we were instead taken to alternative locations. When we inquired about visiting the requested spots, we were advised that time did not permit it. With all due respect, it seemed that the time allocated to the extended dockside presentations could have been reallocated to accommodate those short transits, allowing us to experience the more desirable locations without compromising the overall schedule. To optimize the guest experience, I would respectfully suggest that operators consider the following adjustments: deliver essential safety and educational briefings while the boat is en route, or in a pre-made video during their liability waiver signing, post succinct instructional boards for quick reference, and prioritize the top two or three premier snorkeling spots at St Johns from the outset of the trip, reserving secondary stops for the return leg. These small but meaningful changes would not only maximize time in the water but also ensure that all guests feel their preferences are genuinely heard and respected. Ultimately, streamlining the logistics and trusting that guests can absorb information efficiently would go a long way toward making an already pleasant charter a truly outstanding and memorable one.

Such a fun trip! Saw lots of turtles, fish, and visited several beaches. Everyone had a great time!!

We spent an amazing day snorkeling with Captain Jeff and his crew. We made three stops for snorkeling and got to see amazing wildlife at each stop -- sea turtles, stingrays, vibrant coral, and many different types of fish. They kept us fed throughout the day, serving both breakfast and lunch, and kept the drinks flowing as well. We had plenty of time to snorkel and enjoy the beautiful waters at each stop, and still had time to take the "scenic route" back. If you're looking for a relaxing day out on the water, we couldn't recommend this tour more.

My entire family had a great experience! We got to swim with turtle, sting rays and other fish. It was a good value for the money.
