private boat tour for 16 people

[Fenten]

I am looking into booking a private boat tour for 16 people. Thinking of perhaps a boat tour where we can do some snorkelling and spend time at a beach. Does anyone have a tour operator they can recommend that can accomodate 16 people?

 

Thanks.

Sarah.

Try Pirate's Penny/Stormy Petrel (two boats owned by the same operator). You can reach them at 340-775-7990 M-Sat.

 

I'm going to post a link to a youtube video someone recently did of their tour in just a few minutes...

Here's the Pirate's Penny Stormy Petral video:

Thanks for the info. I looked up Pirate Penny and it says that their boat has a maximum capacity of 12 passengers. I want to find a larger vessel that can hold all 16.

 

Tks anyway.

Try St John Day Sail - I haven't used them - am cruising in June and am looking for a boat for 15 of us - saw St John Day Sail and tried to book them, but they are already booked for the date we're in St Thomas, but they got good reviews and can hold your party. We're booked on Fury Charters now - which is only a half-day trip with one snorkeling stop.....

They would use both boats for a group of your size.

We just got back from our cruise and did a full day private excursion with Double Fun Charters http://doublefuncharters.com/index.html and had a great time.

 

 

There were 15 in our group of various ages and snorkeling skill level and everyone enjoyed the day. We scheduled taxi service through Alvin at Islander Taxi islandertaxiservices@yahoo.com. He picked us up at 8am at the dock and took us to meet Double Fun on the other side of the island (about a 30 minute ride). Captain Jamie was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. We boarded and were on our way. I requested that we not go where the rest of the cruise ship passengers would be going and that is exactly what we got - we made two stops and there were no other boats at either location. The trip includes a nice lunch, some good rum punch, beer and soft drinks. The crew is very friendly and helpful.

 

Alvin was waiting at our scheduled time when we returned and we headed back to the ship - they suggest you give 1.5 hours from the sail return time and your cruise ship's all-aboard time for the return taxi ride because traffic can be heavy in the afternoon.

 

 

There are not a lot of reviews of Double Fun on this site yet but there are a lot of great reviews on Trip Advisor.
