What the Day Feels Like
Expect a private, unhurried day: board in St. Thomas or St. John, run across to favored snorkel sites and beach bars, use on‑board snorkel gear and rinse with fresh water after swims, and stretch out on the bow or aft bench between stops. The boat’s layout and dive door keep transitions from water to deck straightforward for most travelers.
