Always a great time with Capt Nate. We circumnavigated the island spending most of the day on the east end at Waterlemon, Salt Pond and some smaller beaches. Last time we hit all the North Shore beaches so he changed it up this time and we had a blast!

We spent a day on the water with Captain Nate. We had a great time snorkelling and fishing, he gave us a great tour of the area with ample opportunity to stop wherever we liked. The company quote the price broken up by each aspect-I liked this as it was clear what each component cost-but it did mean several different transactions to be aware of. We stocked up on food at Gourmet Gallery-pricey but had a great boat picnic. All round good day
Had an amazing time. Captain Nate was fantastic. Loved everywhere he took us. We just told him the things we wanted to do and he created a perfect itinerary for our group.
Adrianne in the office promptly answered all questions and assisted with our direct booking for a full day tailored charter. Our captain, Nate who is highly experienced, helped us check all of our must see and do’s off our list and ensured our day did not disappoint. Lets me go a step further and say Nate provide excellent historical information of the island, knew multiple points for us to snorkel, and readily spotted seas turtles and sting rays for us. I would recommend Caribbean Blue Charter without hesitation!!!
Such an amazing trip the captain was so much fun and informative. Will use them again and again. Nate is the best
Nate was a great tour guide , took us to all the most beautiful spots to snorkel and see beautiful beaches
Captain Nate “The Great” truly made our day unforgettable! From the moment we met him in St. Thomas, his great personality immediately stood out. He quickly got a feel for our family and tailored the entire day to what we would enjoy most. We toured some incredible spots throughout the Virgin Islands, including some of the most beautiful secluded beaches we’ve ever seen- places we never would have discovered on our own. Nate made sure our three teenage sons had an absolute blast. He opened up his 35’ Marlin and gave them the exhilarating ride they were hoping for, took us to safe cliff-jumping spots, explored a few smaller caves with us, and brought us snorkeling in an area where he knew we’d have a great chance of seeing sea turtles…and we did! It’s going to be very hard to top this perfect day. It will absolutely go down as the best day of our Virgin Islands vacation, and that was mainly because of Nate. He was fun, knowledgeable, adventurous, and seemed to know exactly how to make the day special for our whole family. If you get the chance to spend a day on the water with Captain Nate “The Great,” do it. You will not regret it!
Nate did a great job taking us around the islands and was very professional. Rough seas that day but he has enough experience how to navigate it for our day long trip. Highly recommend.
7 hours on the boat, we had the freedom to pick and choose our destinations and leave as we saw fit. We snorkeled in pristine waters off secluded shores w ease, enjoying reefs, choral, fish and moon jellies. We walked little cinnamon beach and swam. Solitude was glorious. We then snorkeled w massive sea turtles, octopus and stingrays. Toured a historical outpost. Took a nature walk after docking on a secluded dock. Took in tacos and drinks at the floating taco hut. Epic day on our own boat!
We enjoyed our experience on the great ride of a 35’ Marlin. Nate our captain took great care and gave my family a great experience. We toured the coastline of St. Thomas and ventured all the way around St John’s. Stopping at fantastic beaches but making sure to get those that are not reachable by car. Stopped at boating food trucks like timeout and passing by the pizza boat. Snorkeled, played football on the beaches and toured some ancient artifacts. Great day! Highly recommend a personal boating tour!
Great experience! Nate is very knowledgeable. Easy going. Highly recommend. Go to the swim up taco bar and the pizza boat.
Nate was our captain and he did such a good job explaining the history of the islands and and he was super nice. We went to St John and went to a couple beaches. Stopped at the taco bar and pizza bar on the water and had two great meals and drinks. I highly recommend going on this tour.
We love the experience Caribbean Blue Charters! This was our second year and we will definitely be back for a third! Thank you, Nate for the amazing day!
Our first time in St Thomas and I booked this charter based on reviews. Our expectations were high and the tour and Captain Nate exceeded them! The views are amazing and Captain Nate expertly navigated a day that gave all of us something we will never forget. From tacos at Lime Out, snorkeling with turtles in St John, shopping and cocktails at Cruz Bay, the sugar cane ruins, Kenny Chesney estate, one other famous former resident’s island, and the pizza boat to end the day, we couldn’t have asked for more. This tour was everyone’s favorite day from our trip. We will certainly be back on St Thomas and booking with Caribbean Blue and the talented, knowledgeable and welcoming Captain Nate ⚓️! 🌴🐢🍹🌮🍕⚓️🔥
My sisters and I had an amazing day with Captain Nate. He picked us up from the beach at The Westin and headed over to Jost Van Dyke for the day . Nate expertly took care of the customs and immigration details for us and met us at Foxy’s (where I had the best painkiller so far on this trip) and then off we went. We went to Corona island for some swimming, then moved to another location for some snorkeling (did not see much). Then we headed to Hendos Hideout and Soggy Dollar for refreshments. Busy places but we had to visit! Next we headed to another beach area for more swimming and snorkeling. I think this was Tortola Sandy Bay beach? In any case beautiful and relaxing. Then we headed back; when my hat blew off, Nate turned around and got it back! Thank you Nate What an amazing day!
Absolute best day. We had an amazing time seeing all around St. John. We swam with sea turtles, eagle rays, and many beautiful fish. We headed to Lime Out, which was amazing. Captain Nate and co-captain Christian were amazing. Best day we had in the Virgin Islands.
This was our third trip with Captain Nate! As always we had a blast!! Explored St.John beaches, drinks at Lavongo, tried Lime Out St.Thomas for the first time and ended our day water island. Boat days are the best days!
What an absolute amazing experience. Our Captain-Nate did a phenomenal job. He took the time to get an idea of the experience we were looking for. Gave us some ideas and we basically gave him the reigns. He took us to all the best sites for snorkeling, site seeing, and swimming. He had everything we needed and really gave us an opportunity to enjoy our selves. Very knowledgeable of the area and would 10/10 hire him again.
From celebrating a 62nd birthday to making memories with our family this private charter in St. Thomas & St. John was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Captain Nate made the entire day unforgettable. His knowledge of the islands, history, and hidden gems made us feel like locals for the day. He took us to pristine private beaches, secluded islands, and the most breathtaking crystal-clear waters we’ve ever seen. We snorkeled with beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles in calm turquoise water surrounded by white sand beaches that looked straight out of a postcard. The boat was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, and perfect for every age in our family. What made this trip so special was how enjoyable it was for EVERYONE — from our baby granddaughter to the grandparents and every age in between. Captain Nate made us feel safe, relaxed, and welcome the entire time. If you’re visiting St. Thomas or St. John and want a once-in-a-lifetime experience with your family, this private charter is an absolute MUST. We will treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend!
Caribbean as been a dream holiday for us, we went in January 2026 arrived home in February 2026, after a wonderful 35 days cruise, visited 9 Islands, amazing trip, so easy to book tours when you get there, plenty to do once arriving, the weather is so hot, best time to go November to April, after that monsoon weather, if not wanting to sit by the beach, try the wonderful shopping centers, people are so friendly, if you say no they wont bother you, clothes are cheap, anything you want you can buy, subbed and parasols on the beach, people to wait on you for your drinks, it is truly paradise for us, if your a solo traveller, dont be afford to catch a taxi on your own, I went on a tour fo Barbados in a taxi, he took me to places I wanted to see, a Lady on her own he treated me with respect, my favourit island was and is Bequia is the second-largest island in the Grenadines part of the islands, part of St Vincent, all islands are near each other, if unsure check them out, the cruise was not cheap for us, only was worth every penny, would do it all over again
I booked a full day with just my mom and I to tour around the islands since it was our first time in St. Thomas. Nate was awesome and so knowledgeable on everything. Covered everything we wanted to do for the day. 100% will be recommending to friends/family!
Best trip ever!!! Snorkeled at some beautiful locations and saw lots of fish and sea turtles! Amazing sugar mill ruins explored!
Our group of eight (4 couples) chartered a full day tour of the BVIs. Captain Nate was awesome! He was knowledgeable and catered our stops to our desires. We had a perfect mix of fun and lively stops including Foxy’s, Soggy Dollar/Hendo’s hideout, Willy T’s and Lime out with the beauty of Sandy spit and Sandy Cay and amazing snorkeling at the Indians. The boat was comfortable and clean and the sound system boomed! Great day!
This company will not disappoint. Nate the captain is great. He really knows the area and the area, history, and where to see the sea life. We have been using Caribbean Blue Charters going on 17 years.
This is a must do! Nate our captain was AMAZING! He showed us so many great snorkeling spots. He was very knowledgeable about all the islands. We would 100% do this again
This is out second trip with Carribean Blue Boat Charters and it won’t be our last. Captain Nate is amazing and really listens to what you want out of your day. We went all around St John snorkeling and back to Lime Out (the floating taco bar) and just had an amazing day. If you are considering a boat charter while in St Thomas, you won’t go wrong with Carribean Blue Boat Charters.
We had an absolutely amazing boat day with Caribbean Blue Boat Charters and Captain Nate — truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very start, the experience was seamless and stress-free. They picked us up right on our beach in Cowpet East, which was incredibly convenient and set the tone for a relaxed, personalized day on the water. We did the Jost Van Dyke trip and couldn’t have asked for a better itinerary. We visited Foxy’s, Sandy Spit Island, and the iconic Soggy Dollar, with plenty of time at each stop to explore, relax, and soak in the island vibes. Captain Nate’s laid-back, calm approach immediately made us feel comfortable and confident — perfect for a full day on the water. One thing that really stood out was how smoothly Captain Nate handled customs. He took care of everything efficiently and professionally, and even better, he allowed us to explore the island while he managed the process, so we never felt rushed or inconvenienced. The snorkeling was fantastic as well — Captain Nate found us a great, less-crowded snorkeling spot, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the day. Clear water, beautiful marine life, and zero stress. Overall, this was a top-notch experience: relaxed, well-organized, and thoughtfully tailored to us. If you’re looking for a memorable boat trip in the Virgin Islands, we can’t recommend Caribbean Blue Boat Charters and Captain Nate highly enough. We would book with them again in a heartbeat!
This was our 2nd year in a row using Captain Nate to take us all around St John and neighboring islands for all kinds of wonderful snorkeling adventures. Nate knows all the best spots to find what you are looking for while keeping the weather and water conditions in mind. I always feel very safe with him at the helm. We will definitely use him again next December.
Our boat day was by far the best day spent in the USVI! Captain Nate was excellent and was very informative about the islands and their history. We swam at a picture perfect private beach, snorkeled over an old plane wreck and alongside sea turtles, and had tacos and margaritas for lunch from a floating taco boat. The scenery was breathtaking, the boat ride was smooth and was the perfect size for our family, even could have accommodated a few more. Perfection!
Capitan Nate was fantastic. Very flexible as we navigated our schedule and what was of interest to us as a family. Great tour!
What a great day in the BVIs with Captain Nate!! A couple of great snorkeling stops, and then on to Foxy’s to meet Foxy himself and enjoy a painkiller. Then lunch at Soggy Dollar(and more painkillers), before a leisurely trip back to the marina. Splurge and treat yourself to this great day with a private charter instead of renting space on a cattlemaran.
Covered 80 miles, went to beautiful beaches, and the food was awesome. The Captain was informative and on point. The vessel was perfect for 4 people and very comfortable. The views were breathtaking.
Great day on the water. Nate did a great job!! Very knowledgeable and very considerate captain . Only problem was the day was too short
We absolutely LOVED the boat charter and our Captain, Colin! Arranging for the trip was so easy with the help of everyone at Carribean Blue Boat Charters, and the staff was very helpful at answering all our questions. Our Captain, Colin, was the absolute best. He took our family out to several wonderful dive spots, and made the trip extra enjoyable with his encyclopedic knowledge of the islands and entertaining commentary. At the end of the day, everyone had a great time.
Our family took a day tour and had an absolute blast. Out of our 8 days here on the islands, our boat charter with Capt. Spence was by far everyone’s favorite day! He was so knowledgeable and gave us the perfect mix between boat time, island education, amazing snorkel spots, and he was such a cool guy to just sit and talk with. This is an experience that will be good, or incredible depending on your Captain, and Spence is who you want to make sure you get! Amazing boat day for us!
We went into this experience not entirely sure what it would be like or consist of. We are on the island for 8 days and have done so much, but today out on the boat with Spence has by far been the highlight of our trip! It was the absolute perfect mix of time on the boat, snorkeling amazing spots, the Lime Out experience, and just thoroughly enjoying the time talking with Spence. We will 100% look him up, specifically, when we come back. A lot of fun to be around, and highly knowledgeable about the area. GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Took a BVI trip with Capt. Spence. He was very good and we highly recommend. He also had so much attention to detail he cleaned all the buoys. These buoys made other people jealous. 100% recommend him and the boat.
We had a fantastic day with Captain Spence we were able to see some great sea life as well as some really beautiful places and secluded beaches. Thanks to the whole team for this great adventure.
Brendan was awesome- we had a great day! Took us around to several islands and we snorkeled! Saw alot of sea turtles
We had a great two day adventure exploring the BVI! Our captain (Nate) was top notch. We have been coming down for many years and this was definitely the best trip! Day 1 we had 4 adults and 3 children (with the youngest being 4 years old) Day 2 we had 2 adults and 2 11 year olds. Snorkeling, secluded beaches and plenty of good food and drink spots along the way! Highly recommend!
Fantastic captain who planned the whole trip around our needs. Honestly, i couldn't have asked for more. We saw tons of sea turtles plenty of fish. And had an amazing time on private beaches and just enjoying the boat ride.
We had an incredible experience on our full-day boat charter! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. Captain Nate was friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and having a great time. The boat itself was clean, well-equipped, and spacious enough for our group to relax and enjoy the day. We loved the itinerary—crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and just soaking in the sun. The captain tailored the route based on our interests and even shared fascinating insights about the area. ❤️❤️❤️❤️’d spotting all the sea turtles! Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore by sea!
I wish it had a 10 star review I could give. It was two of the greatest days I have had on a boat. Nate is an amazing captain who customizes the trip towards you. I can’t recommend Nate and this charter service enough.
Nate was really easy going. We let him show us all of the best stops… and they did not disappoint. Great time!
Exceptional is the word that best captures the day. We were told the boat and time with Captain Nate would be the highlight of the trip and it did not disappoint . Boat was excellent as well as Captain’s skill. We decided to let Nate show us the island and he found places only accessible by boat with amazing coral , sea turtles and historic places . We ate at Lime Out which is a new favorite now not only for ambiance and uniqueness but for the quality and craftsmanship of the food . We were able to fish too which was fun . Truly the day was a highlight and we would highly recommend .
We had a great day with Nate. He took us around St. John and we snorkeled in several beautiful bays and some secluded beaches we would never have gotten to from land. Our first wish was to snorkel with sea turtles and Nate found them for us repeatedly throughout the day. We felt safe the whole day, even in the rougher water in spots. He kept a close eye on us while we were snorkeling and moved the boat to stay with us. He really did customize our experience to have a perfect mix of fun snorkeling and relaxed sightseeing around the islands. It was fabulous!
We had never done one of these trips before and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Our Captain Nate was great. Engaging, full of local knowledge, and fun to be around. He was all about going with the flow throughout the day if we wanted to change plans or make some adjustments (like pulling ashore at Honeymoon Bay to get a drink). He had great recommendations for snorkeling spots throughout the day as well.
Incredible boat tour… we had such a wonderful time!!! The views, swimming, snorkeling and getting food at Lime Out absolutely outstanding!! Captain Nate was the best! His knowledge of the area and making sure we were having a great time were beyond our expectations!
Our 2nd time touring the BVI with a private charter. Booking with Caribbean Blue Boat Charters was very easy and accommodating. Captain Nate knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend.
Our experience with Nate at Caribbean Blue Boat Charters was the highlight of our St. John vacation! Nate expertly guided our group of six to some of the most beautiful and iconic spots in the Virgin Islands, including Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, and Corona Island. We had the pleasure of meeting Sir Foxy at Foxy's Bar, enjoyed the thrill of jumping off the Willy T, and relaxed at the famous Soggy Dollar Bar. Every member of our group had an unforgettable time, and we cannot recommend this experience highly enough. If we return to St. John, we will absolutely book with Nate again!
