Full Day Private Boat Charter To The British Virgin Island

We had a wonderful BVI hopping experience with Carpe Diem. From our first communication with Captain Chris to the end of our charter day, all of our expectations were met and we knew clearly what was expected of us doing the charter. Everything went seamlessly when we went to our designated meeting spot and met Captain Kevin who was our navigator for the day. He was totally receptive to our itinerary desires and added a few welcome suggestions of his own. Overall we got to see may different islands, triedout a few different beach bars and get in some amazing snorkeling!! The boat was great and fast! We would highly recommend spending a day with Carpe Diem.

Absolutely wonderful day exploring BVI and St. John. Captain Kevin was great and showed us some amazing snorkel spots!

Carpe Diem charters provided the best day of our trip! Captain Kevin was exceptional. He was a great captain, so friendly, and took us to the best spots. I would highly recommend!

This was the best part of our vacation! Captain Kevin made the trip enjoyable for our whole family! He took us to some beautiful snorkeling spots, a yummy lunch spot (Pirate Bights and Willy T’s), and a boat accessible only beach. It was the perfect day on the water!

Chris was easy to work with and extremely helpful when it came to booking the perfect trip. Captain Keven was phenomenal, and made sure everyone had fun. We had our kids with us and it’s not easy to make everyone happy. The entire family had a great day to the BVI with Carpe Diem!

Fun day to the British Virgin Islands

Great day on the water for our group of 7! We did the Virgin Gorda, Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke triangle, hitting all the highlights thanks to the speed of the powerboat! Chris was super easy to work with and Capt Kevin made the day unforgettable. Would highly recommend!! #clubyachtrock

We had the best day on Carpe Diem! Chris was easy to work with, and very responsive to all communications. As well, as helping us plan a great day. Captain Kevin was wonderful! He made us feel safe and comfortable. Kevin was especially helpful with our 20 month old Grandson. We went to The Baths, Jost Van Dyke and enjoyed the floating chairs. Such a fun and memorable day! We definitely recommend Carpe Diem!

Chris was so responsive in helping set up and all communications about the day. Captain Kevin was AMAZING, made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time! Took us out to the Baths of Gorda and Jost Van Dyke! It was a wonderful day and everything we wanted for our first trip to the BVI. A huge plus of them taking care of customs so we can just maximize our time! The floating chairs at Jost were a great add! We would definitely use them again!

Spent a full day private charter from St Thomas to BVI. We went to The Baths in Virgin Gorda, ate lunch on a private ship and jumped off the top, snorkeled in a cave and ended at Soggy Dollar. What a fantastic day with Kevin as our Captain! I highly recommend this day tour. We had 8 people total and fit on the boat perfectly.

We had a wonderful time on board with Kevin on Carpe Diem Charters. We saw several amazing islands, swam in beautiful water, snorkeled, visited a lot of neat places on the water. It was so good we opted to go for a second day. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. Whatever we wanted to do or see he made it happen. He was very accommodating and the boat was beautiful, clean, and comfortable for me and my family. We definitely recommend them if you want a fabulous trip on the water.

We had the absolute best day in the British Virgin Islands with Captain Kevin. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. What really stood out was how incredibly accommodating and thoughtful he was with my mom, who had shoulder replacement surgery a few months ago. Captain Kevin went above and beyond to help her safely get in and out of the water and made sure she was comfortable the entire trip. His patience and kindness meant so much to our family and allowed her to fully enjoy the experience without worry. Beyond that, he was knowledgeable, relaxed, and made the whole day fun and seamless. If you’re looking for a captain who truly cares about his guests and creates an amazing experience, Captain Kevin is the one you want. We can’t recommend him enough! 🌊🚤

We had the best time on the boat. Booking was so easy and the boat was very spacious and perfect for our day to BVI. They even took care of customs for us in BVI so we could just enjoy the Baths and not wait in line. We booked the extended day so we could do the Baths at Virgin Gorda and I highly recommend doing that! We also made it over to the caves for some snorkeling, Willy Ts for a drink and then Soggy Dollar for some painkillers. It was the perfect day exploring BVIs and we are so happy we our decision to charter with Carpe Diem!

Chris was great. Super helpful w/ advice. Capt Kevin took great care of us all day. Great day. Great memories! Thanks!!!

Great boat, great Captain Kevin and Christopher did a super job communicating leading up to our trip. Plenty of deck space, shaded sitting in the aft area and lots of sunny seating up front. Perfect day and will do it again when we return!

Our private charter to the British Virgin Islands with Carpe Diem Charters was the absolute highlight of our vacation. From start to finish, every detail exceeded our expectations. Working with Christ G, made booking effortless. He was incredibly responsive and flexible in accommodating our specific needs, setting the perfect tone for our adventure. Captain Kevin was phenomenal! His extensive knowledge of the islands and warm, accommodating nature made our day truly special. When we mentioned we were vegetarians, Kevin went above and beyond by calling restaurants ahead to identify those with multiple vegetarian options—a thoughtful gesture that ensured we could fully enjoy our dining experiences without worry. What truly sets Carpe Diem apart is their personalized approach. Rather than following a rigid itinerary, they tailored our entire day to match our interests and preferences, making us feel valued and special. Our visit to The Baths at Virgin Gorda was breathtaking—stunning rock formations and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Captain Kevin expertly handled customs while we explored, maximizing our time to enjoy these natural wonders. Throughout the day, Kevin's expertise shone through in every decision. He selected beautiful beaches, found incredible snorkeling spots, and shared fascinating stories about Caribbean history. His recommendations were always spot-on, and he navigated with skill that made us feel completely safe. If you're considering a BVI charter, I cannot recommend Carpe Diem Charters highly enough. Captain Kevin and Christ G have created something truly special. We're already planning our return trip! 10/10 experience!

We went out with Captain Kevin. He took us to the baths and the Bitter End on Virgin Gorda and to Soggy Dollar on Jost. We had an incredible time in nature and spending time with our favorite people! The boat ride was smooth and we had the absolute perfect boat day in the Caribbean!

Great Day on the water with Captain Darin. Very knowledgeable of the waters and the area. Very accommodating and professional.

We had an awesome day on the water with Kevin! Wouldn't change a single thing if we could do it again! Visited The Baths, and Soggy Dollar along with a few other awesome spots. Highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters!

Amazing day on the water with Captain Kevin! He expertly managed our day to plan a route with less waves, handled customs work and ensured our safety…all while making sure we had fun at the must see spots in the BVI. I’d highly recommend Carpe Diem Tours!

We spent the entire day touring the US and British Virgin Islands with Captain Kevin. It was a FABULOUS experience. Definitely the highlight of our vacation. Captain Kevin was an experienced captain and my partner and I felt very safe. We toured the Baths, which was amazing, went snorkeling, and relaxed. Captain Kevin attended to all of our needs and was very knowledgeable about the best places to stop and eat, and also Caribbean history and folklore. I highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters! We will be back next year!!!!

The whole trip was great, Captain Kevin was not just a excellent captain but a good person to share my first BVI experience with. The whole ride was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.

I can’t say enough about Carpe Diem Charters and how amazing the whole experience was! From booking, to day of charter they were very thorough and accommodating. Captain Kevin was phenomenal. Highly highly recommend! Best day with friends and can’t wait to book again!

We absolutely loved our time with Carpe Diem Charters (so much so that we booked them for 2 days during our trip). Our Captain was Kevin and he was incredible! He has so much knowledge about the islands and makes great recommendations on where to go based on whatever you are looking for. The boat was exactly what we wanted and was stocked with lots of cold water and all the gear you could need for the day (including this underwater scooter device that was a big hit!) The first day was a BVI island hopping day. We started at The Baths at Virgin Gorda and they are not to be missed. Absolutely gorgeous. And Kevin dealt with customs while we explored which was so nice because we didn’t waste any valuable time standing in a line. He crushed it the entire day with all our stops. The 2nd day was a USVI day and he took us to the most beautiful beaches with the best snorkeling. It’s hard to believe water this color actually exists. The 2 boat days were by far the best days of our trip. Not only for what we got to see and do but Kevin took such great care of us he felt like family by the end of it. Next time we come to the USVI, Carpe Diem charters will be our first call! 10/10 recommend!

We had two awesome days with Kevin and Kyle. We originally were only going to do the USVI boat day (we are staying in St Thomas) to give the kids a chance to snorkel and check out Pizza Pi and Limeout. These guys were so good, catering to what we wanted to do, suggesting spots so that everyone in the family could do the things they wanted to do, that we added a second day and did the BVI tour with Carpe Diem. It was fantastic, our favorite day of the vacation. We hit the Baths in Virgin Gorda, had lunch on Norman Island, snorkeled the Indians, beach time in Jost, and even had time to hit Christmas Cove on the way back. I highly recommend this tour and know that we will be doing it again the next time we are in the USVI.

Recently had a 5-star experience thanks to Captain Kevin on board Carpe Diem. He picked us up on St John for a full day excursion of the BVI's. We explored JVD - Foxy's and White Bay, snorkeled a few Caves and ended with a jump off Willy T's. The boat was clean, stereo was loud and handled the windy chop we had that day! Captain Kevin accommodated all our requests, even picking us up and dropping us off at the Westin. I would absolutely recommend Kevin and Carpe Diem to anyone looking to enjoy an epic day in the Virgin Islands! The Cocktail Cove Crew can't wait for the next adventure!

Such a great experience, would definitely do this trip again to BVI! Chris was great to deal with and Captain Kevin was fantastic!

Awesome boat, awesome day. Probably the best value boat in the USVI. Awesome layout, and perfect for our group of 11, including adults, teens, and kids. Easy pick up at St. John, over to Jost to hang at Foxy’s while waiting captain to clear customs for us. We told the Captain our idea of the day, and he recommended we snorkel at the Indians, lunch at Pirates Bite, quick stop at Willy T’s, swim at Sandy Spit, then ended the day with painkillers at Soggy Dollar Bar. Full day that was everything we wanted.

Our family had an incredible time experiencing the Caribbean islands with Kevin as our Captain. It was our second trip to St. Thomas, but the first for our adult children. Kevin put together very fun days with some of our previously-visited spots, in addition to great new places! We enjoyed snorkeling and beach visits each day, lunch at Saba Rock and Pirate’s Bite, and fun cocktails at Willie T’s and Soggy Dollar (home of the original Painkiller). Kevin has so much to share about this beautiful part of the world, and we’ll definitely be back on another charter with Carpe Diem! 🏝️🍹🌊🐠🤿

Our group of 9 spent three days with our captain, Kevin, on the Carpe Diem boat. The boat was spacious, clean, safe, and very comfortable - a highlight for us were the popup seats at the bow! We could bring any snacks and drinks we wanted, and Kevin had the cooler stocked with ice each day we were out on the water. Our day trips were incredible experiences all around - Kevin was the best guide and captain we could’ve asked for. He was so knowledgeable about all of the islands, wildlife, best beaches, restaurants, bars, and pristine snorkeling locations. Additionally, he knows the ins and outs of customs, which really took the pressure off of our group. The three days we spent with him were truly the highlight of our time on vacation in the Caribbean - it feels like he’s a part of our family now. We’re so grateful to have met Kevin and seen the USVI and BVI the way we did. We’ll be back and will definitely use Carpe Diem! Thank you Kevin and Chris!

We had a wonderful day In the British Virgin Islands with Carpe Diem Charters. Our captain Kevin was extraordinary and definitely had some good suggestions on where to go. He knows the waters well and we were in good hands the entire day. We definitely had one of the better day charter boats because of the ample seating on board We started at Norman Island with some beautiful snorkeling. Kevin was a bit concerned about the current at one location so we moved a bit and it was ideal! Went to Willie T for lunch and then headed to Jost Van Dyke to finish up the day at Soggy Dollar. Personally, I would recommend going to the Willie T for a drink and not lunch. I think the food at Soggy Dollar and Hendo’s hideout on Jost is much better. But Willie T is a must visit as it is iconic. I would 100% recommend Carpe Diem and Kevin! When I am back for other visit I will see them again!

Kevin was absolutely amazing! We had the best day on the boat with him traveling to multiple islands. We'd book him a hundred times over!

We had an incredible time in the BVIs with Captain Kevin. His captaining skills were impressive from the moment he picked us up on the beach right outside our hotel, to difficult docking at customs, to finding the best spot at the Caves at Norman Island for snorkeling. He listened to what our group of 4 wanted to do and had some great recommendations on places to go and the best time to go. We’ve been to the BVIs before by boat and we got to do things this trip we’ve never experienced like Sandy Spit, Pirate’s Bight beach bar on Norman Island (snorkeled with turtles off the beach), and Ivan’s Stress Free Bar on JVD that was reminiscent of the old Soggy Dollar Bar days. We’ve explored the BVIs via both private boat and group trip. It’s 100% worth the extra cost to do the private trip. The boat was nice and had a lot of shade and seating. It’s similar to a center console, but a greatly expanded cover over the back of the boat. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic day with Captain Darin. We planned the day together and went to the popular spots with food and drinks and also went to private beaches. The boat had snorkeling gear and we had lots of fun interactions with Darin.

Carpe Diem charters, specifically Cpt. Kevin, did an absolutely amazing job on this charter. The seas were a bit rough but Kevin was able to navigate us to all the destinations we requested despite the poor weather. He kept us dry and safe and having fun all day. We were a very large group and he accommodated everyone perfectly. The boat is anwesome and had plenty of room for 12 people to walk around and have fun. Highly recommend this charter to anyone in the USVI!!!

We had an amazing day. The boat was nice and Kevin”the captain” was very friendly to my family. He took us to some amazing places. Highly recommend!!

Our boat day was highlight of our trip to St John!!! Chris with Carpe Diem was easy to communicate with, extremely knowledgeable about the islands and spots that would best match what our family wanted to do. Adjusted scheduling and itinerary in a way to help make everything go smoothly and maximize activities. Swimming, great snorkeling, remote islands, the Baths, delicious lunch spot ending with Soggy Dollar painkillers. Boat was comfortable and drove well through the water. Bonus at end of day was picking up dinner at PizzaPi - fresh, fantastic quality pizza made on a boat! Chris/Carpe Diem gave our family a day to remember- thank you. Highly recommend!

Amazing day! We got to see so much within our tour and had a fantastic guide. Beautiful spots along the way plus great choices for stops. Would recommend this tour and would 10/10 do it again!

Amazing full day trip with Kevin and Carpe Diem Charters. We visited Normand and Peter island. Private remote beaches. Great snorkeling at Indians and the Caves. Boat and captain were terrific. Highly recommended Chris and Carpe Diem and absolutely Captain Kevin.

We had 2 very different charters with Carpe Diem and Capt. Kevin over the course of our visit to St. Tommy, but both were FANTASTIC. One day we had amazing weather and the other it was pouring rain. For both charters Capt. Kevin was such a joy to have leading us - friendly, calming and so knowledgably about boats, the islands, fish - everything. My family (wife and 4 kids ages 11-15) couldn't have had a better time. Even the rainy day is still a trip we won't forget. The boat is large, but not so large where it feels cold, and the kids LOVED the front bow rider seats. The Owner Chris had constant clear and friendly communication from booking until the end of the second charter. It could not have been better. We have charted boats all of the Carribean, and this was the BEST. We highly recommend them and will be booking again on our next visit. 5 Stars all the way

This day really made my vacation in the USVI, I can 100% recommend it! Captain Chris took us to so many beautiful places in the USVI. We went snorkeling, cliff jumping, to beautiful beaches, and had such good pizza at Pizza Pi (which is a Pizza Boat). All for a very fair price! There are so many possibilities in that area and it's entirely up to you what you want to do. Chris is flexible and will take you wherever you want to go. Katie is lovely and makes sure that you're completely content! Again, I 100% recommend going for a day on the water with this company!

Thank you to all the other great reviews, they helped us make our choice with Carpe Diem Charters. Worked with Chris to arrange all the details for two separate day trips! Our first day was BVI island bar hopping. The weather was perfect and the boat ride, along with the stops to Foxy’s, Soggy Dollar, Willy T’s and Sandy Cay were just as fabulous as Kevin, our Captain. Looking forward to the second day for the St John Island tour and lunch at Lime Out Taco Bar! Highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters!!

We've been out with Chris a few times now, and I can't recommend Carpe Diem enough! Chris was attentive and professional, and we felt very comfortable being out on the water with him. I highly recommend!!

I've been out with them a few times and I finally leaving a review! Great times on the water as always! Very professional and we will 100% be using them again!

We had a great time! The Baths were on our bucket list! Great service, very professional, fun day on the water! Would 100% book again!

Carpe Diem Charters is a great way to spend a beautiful fun day! I recommend coming on this charter boat. Everything is safe, fun, and comfortable. 10/10 a very awesome experience!

We seized the day with Carpe Diem Charters! As local Virgin Islanders, we have been to all the go-to spots in the VI, so we thought. Our captain took us to beaches we've never been to before, that also lent itself to the best snorkeling. We were asked what we would like to do and the captain worked it all into our custom itinerary, making the most of our day. The boat was extremely comfortable (with adequate shade) and parted through the Caribbean Sea, getting us to each destination with ease. Highly recommend for both locals and tourists!

Have to say, we were concerned because we booked this very late before our trip. We were very pleased with our choice. Kevin was a great captain and really went beyond to make sure our day was special. The boat was amazing and in first class shape. Overall, we highly recommend this charter company and will use them again when we return next year!

Only the Best!! Every time we rent a boat we know the best boat to go with is Carpe Diem. This time we went to BVI and wow the Captain took us to a new place to explore. Cannot wait for our next trip 😎😊🙏
