SAINT JOHN BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Sun, Speed, and Space: A Private 37' Boston Whaler off St. John

Sun, Speed, and Space: A Private 37' Boston Whaler off St. John.
On a private Boston Whaler 370 Outrage you trade cramped deck space for an unsinkable center console built for entertaining: broad sunpads and convertible V‑seating, electric shade, hot-water on‑deck showers and fresh water sinks, plus a stocked cooler and snorkel gear supplied for the day. The boat’s layout and systems let groups spend a full day moving between shallow reefs, anchorages and open water with room to stretch out and dry gear on board.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Roomy, convertible deck for lounging or socializing
The Whaler’s forward sunpad and V‑seating convert with a power table to become a lounge; an electric aft shade and abundant dry storage make it a natural choice for family groups and gear‑heavy outings.
Modern electronics and high performance
Triple 300‑hp Mercury Verado outboards push the 370 to a comfortable cruise and fast passages, supported by dual Garmin 16" displays, autopilot, Fusion/JL Audio with Bluetooth/XM, VHF and EPIRB for a day that’s equal parts performance and comfort.
Turnkey private charter: captain, gear and refreshments
Charters come with a knowledgeable captain, a stocked cooler, towels and snorkel equipment; excursions can be customized for groups of up to 12 guests for a full‑day outing in the St. John/St. Thomas area.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The day unfolds as a relaxed, private loop: quick runs across open water when you need distance, and slow, steady idles when you drop anchor to snorkel or stretch. There’s a social choreography to the layout — people sunbathing forward, others around the table, wet gear rinsed at the on‑deck sink — while the captain navigates between calm coves and snorkeling spots.
