Catamaran for 40 people

[vivalv66]

Looking to book a private catamaran for the day in St Thomas.

Will have 20-40 people. Would like drinks and snack included.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

The cats that operate out of the large hotels can handle that capacity. Now let me see if I can remember the names. One isn't affiliated with a resort, so I'm trying to remember the name of that one.

 

The Cat out of Marriott's Frebchman's Reef Adventure Center.

 

Morningstar out of, I think, Sugar Bay or Point Pleasant.

 

Spirit of St Christopher is the one not affiliated.

 

Heavenly Days out of Bolongo.

 

Google for websites.

20 - 40 is a very large range, and 40 is a huge number, especially for STT. The operators mentioned may be able to take a group that large but I would doubt it. It would certainly be a charter deal with perhaps 2 cats.

 

Many people form large groups when cruising and it's very difficult to coordinate and manage excursions as a result. Just the transportation alone is a challenge, you'd want to pre-arrange a couple taxis to transfer everyone to the dock and back. And how long you are in port will be a factor as many daysails leave by 8 unless you do charter them (if they don't already have bookings for that day). So just a lot of challenges for this large a group.

 

Have you considered splitting into smaller groups for day excursions? You can all be together on the ship (which must still be a challenge), and for excursions split onto groups with similar interests or ages.

Just a thought!
