From Nadir’s docks out of St. Thomas and St. John, Sonic Charters runs a private 37' Intrepid powered by triple 350 Yamaha four‑strokes. The boat is configured for daylong outings — comfortable seating fore and aft, a large bow for sunning, a JL sound system, plentiful snorkel gear (including child sizes), a freshwater rinse and a dive door that eases re‑boarding — and is offered as a private charter for groups up to 12.

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.
