SMITH BAY BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE

Six Hours Aboard a 55' Yacht: Private Sailing to the Marine Gardens of the USVI.
Aboard Blue Dream — a roomy, 55‑foot monohull daysail — you trade shorebound logistics for wind, swell and the scatter of Caribbean coves. For six hours a professional captain and mate run a fully private itinerary that typically reaches the reefs and beaches of St. John National Park and the surrounding islands; everything from snorkeling to paddleboarding and a hot lunch is handled on board so the day stays focused on marine views and easy exploration.

Outing Highlights
A 55' Monohull Built for Day Sailing
Blue Dream is the trip’s centerpiece: a large, comfortable 55‑foot sailing yacht operated by a professional Captain and Mate, designed to cover more ground and get you farther on a single day sail.
St. John National Park and Neighboring Islands
The typical course takes guests to the marine and shore sites of St. John National Park and nearby islands — a compact patchwork of snorkeling spots, shallow coves and reef‑lined anchorages ideal for short swims and paddleboard runs.
All‑Inclusive Comfort: Gear, Food and Drinks
This is an all‑inclusive day: premium snorkel gear and instruction, paddle boards and floats, a hot lunch prepared on board and an open bar (liquor, beer, wine, soda and bottled water) are provided to keep the day effortless.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The day moves at sea pace: a morning meet, a short sail to clear water, a sequence of snorkel and paddle stops, then a leisurely lunch and drinks on the deck while the yacht glides between islands. Because the charter is private you set the rhythm — whether that means more time in a single bay or hops between reefs — all guided by the crew.
