The Perfect Day to Seas! We spent a wonderful day aboard the Sirena with Seas the Day. Captain JW and Liv made the experience special from start to finish. They were attentive, personable, and took the time to tailor the day to what we wanted. We felt well cared for while still having plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. The Sirena is a beautiful boat, but JW and Liv are what made the day memorable. Great crew, beautiful boat, and the perfect day to seas!

Better is Better and this was the BEST! Captain JW and Assistant Liv made our trip AMAZING! We had 2 couples who had never been to St Thomas or snorkeled and one returning couple. The six of us had a memorable time. We feel so blessed to have had this experience and have Captain JW & Liv cater to our every need. What an awesome experience! We had 6 people, but the boat could hold 12. The accommodations were 5 star as well as communications before & during the excursion. Highly recommend!!
JW and Liv were amazing! They absolutely made this trip so special! They were knowledgeable, accommodating, and service hearted. I would book again without hesitation and request both JW and Liv!
great experience with Wallens he was a great captain too! took us on an amazing tour!
Captain phillip was the greatest. Did a great job explaining the area and made our trip worry free. He took us to some great spots and we saw sea turtles, sting rays, and different coral spots with some beautiful tropical fish. He took us to Bolongo for lunch which was wonderful. The rum punch stayed full! To top it off, I made a huge mistake and left my phone on the front of the boat while I was snorkeling. It fell in the water due to some wind and waves Captain Phillip dove in the water and retrieved it!! 5 stars is not enough he deserves 10! Best experience.
Alex and Liv were personable, professional sailors and guides. They were extremely knowledgeable of the area and provided my family with the most amazing experience in St. Thomas, USVI. Snorkeling the reefs, visiting the pristine beaches and seeing a variety of underwater marine life added to the enjoyment of sailing the open water and viewing the natural sights. The stop for lunch had the most delicious fish tacos. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting a fun-filled experience. Thanks again, Alex and Luv. You will see us again.
Amazing day! Best part of our trip. The snorkeling spots were fantastic, and the crew was wonderful and eager to tailor the day just for us. Wallens and Chloe are FANTASTIC. So thankful for this great experience. HIghly Recommend
Don’t wait any longer - book this charter!! We came in for a port day on our cruise and took a taxi to the yacht harbor in Redhook. The Harbor has a great little coffee shop to grab a quick snack before heading out. JW and Liv were absolutely amazing showing us all of their favorite places around the islands - including beaches only accessible by water. Both JW and Liv made sure that we had an amazing time and we are grateful for them!!!
It was amazing. Maddy and Phillip were great super knowledgeable and made sure to optimize our time and fun. Highly recommend.
We had the best time. Wallins/Lindsey were incredible captains/crew. So service oriented and made the trip so much fun. The boat was squeaky clean. We snorkeled with turtles and sting rays, drank delicious rum punch and had the absolute best day. 10/10
This was an amazing experience with my family. Judi and Chloe made this adventure the absolute best ! We will be going back and doing a full day next time!
Had a wonderful time on the very comfortable Pauhana (sp?) with captain Anne-Marie and first mate Olivia. Great snorkeling. Delicious rum punch. Highlight of the trip: Anne-Marie led us to our first ever octopus sighting (off Water Island). First-mate, Olivia, couldn't have been lovlier/more helpful.
My adult children (22, 28, 30 yrs), my father (89 yrs), and my husband and I (~60 yrs) absolutely loved our time boating with JW and Phillip around the US Virgin Islands. We spent our afternoon sitting on the front of the boat as we toured the islands, with a drink in hand, learning about our surroundings and their history. We loved the snorkeling - so many beautiful fish, sea urchins, and even a very harmless shark (but so exciting to see). JW and Phillip kept us safe, entertained, and well cared for. So beautiful and so fun. Definitely a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.
Such a fun day on the water! Captain Mike was so kind and very experienced. This was our favorite day of our trip to St. Thomas!
We did two boat trips in one week with this company since we had such a great time. Our second trip we checked out Buck Island, Water Cay and just sailed around. Captin JP and Eduardo were excellent. If you have this crew, ask Eduardo to play his ukulele for you and Jp might even play the guitar. Eduardo is very educated on marine life and took us on an excellent snorkel - we even saw a shark! Seas the Day is very professional, timely and easy to get to. Highly recommend!
Wonderful crew and a wonderful experience! JP and Eduardo were excellent, relaxed, informative, helpful hosts. We saw sea turtles and ate at a floating restaurant (Lime Out). My daughter got to help steer the boat, and we knew we were in good hands the entire time. Highly recommend!
My husband and I took 3 of our grandsons. We had a great time. JP (captain) was very informative, friendly, took us to great spots, grandsons asked a ton of questions which JP was able to answer all of them. The boys talked about him a lot on the way home. Would definitely recommend him and your charter.
Nice half day trip.. captain was pleasant, nice and helpful. Simple trip for half a day and could do what we wanted which was nice. Overall good experience. The down side is given the amount of money per unit time, you pay for gas as an add on and the optional tips not expected but appreciated is a little misleading. Also paid extra for pickup. Expensive trip which is fine but the fine print of gas being added on and tip percent “appreciated “a little much. I unfortunately missed the expected tip amount percent and grabbed the wrong amount of cash which complicated my mistake. Captain texted after the fact that the tip amount indicated that we were unsatisfied customers. Went ahead and made them where they expected to be but found that interaction petty and making one feel cheap. Given price tag of this trip,I don’t see that. If they ask you what you do for a living, tell them a shepherd. Overall safe company but I’ll do a better job next time. Be better to include everything up front but I’m no expert on these matters and doubt anyone does that. Dampened my vacation experience for sure. Thank you
We took a 4 hour snorkeling trip with Brodie & had an amazing time!!! He took time to show us different islands, shared history of them & had some fascinating stories. We won’t book with anyone else but him!!! Thank you for an amazing day, Brodie!!!!
Great half day tour. Perfect group size. Not an extra large group. Captain Hillary was excellent with reef and island knowledge. Thanks for the fun morning!
Great company. The booking was very clear & easy to select the boat and dates. The Captain contacted us the day before to discuss what type of day we were looking for and he planned it out perfectly. Great mixture of relaxing time on a boat, snorkeling in clear waters with lots to see, secluded beaches and great lunch loction. Truly was a perfect day very well planned out.
Let me start off my saying Derek (guy on board for Pisces) was amazing and had great customer service and he made us have a great time! The lady that was on board was however rude as heck. Before we even got on the boat Pisces she makes a smart comment about a text message that was not answered. As I understand how that can be frustrating, you also have to understand we are not from here and our cell service does not work away from the resort we were staying at. Later on during the day when we were docking and trying to get off she says “this is not time for relaxing, get your sh*t and go”. Which is very disrespectful and not customer service like considering what we just paid for this trip. Then the icing on the cake, she proceeded to walk up to us and say “what did we do wrong, this is only 10% tipping. I mean this is bare minimum”. Remind you this is a group of 12 people and 20% is $300. She also didn’t tell us it was 20% until THE MORNING OF OUR TRIP and expected us to get $300 in cash with no car and no heads up until morning of. I understand tipping is how most of these people make a living, but let’s also keep in mind that tipping is optional and not required. While we tipped ($160) and it was in my opinion a great tip for what kind of customer service she had. Other than that the trip was great, I just recommending getting a new captain.
Captain Anne Marie and her first mate crafted a wonderful half-day snorkeling adventure for us off Water Island. Saw lots of turtles, fish, and even a nurse shark. FUN atmosphere, GREAT TEXAS COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!, and delicious rum punch!
We took the snorkeling trip to Buck Island and Water Beach with Captain Dave today. It was a lovely day! There wasn't much to see at Buck Island so we just swam around enjoying the warm water and beautiful clouds then headed to Water Beach to swim with the turtles. Despite the rain, we were able to spot a few turtles. Dave was sweet and sooo informative. I learned so much about the area in this 4 hour excursion.
What an amazing day! So much fun for all ages and got to visit beautiful St John. Captain Maddy was great, first mate Liv was so friendly and helpful, and the boat was incredible
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on the Island Flyer with Sammy. We snorkeled at two locations. Saw lots of fish, coral, and turtles. The Island Flyer was sized just right for our group of six and the boat was in good condition. Our grandkids snorkeled for the first time and were a little nervous but quickly learned how to use the snorkeling gear. We highly recommend this tour.
Captain Chris was very friendly and professional making sure we got to see several turtles and even saw a large spotted ray along with fish! Great time and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a semi private or private experience. Beats the large cruise excursions that have large crowds on the boats. Steve & Pam Gorman 2/12/25
This is the third or fourth time we’ve spent the day with Capt Hillary on the Island Flyer and we always have a great day. Easy to book, they listen to you and what you want to do, Hillary shares helpful information, and she knows great snorkeling places. We will keep coming back every year when we visit St Thomas.
We booked a private charter for a full day catamaran. Captain AnnMarie and Coleman were a highlight of our family’s holiday vacation. Both shared some history and unique facts about the island and the day was pure perfection! We hit up great spots to snorkel and had lunch on Water Island! Annmarie and Coleman, thank you for being you! The day and the memories will forever live on for our family!
Captain Chris was amazing...he let us decide what we wanted to do and took us to all the cool places to snorkel. We had an amazing time and would easily recommend Seas The Day
Fantastic day for our family of 8. Captain Chris pointed out great snorkeling. We saw turtles, sting rays, eels, sea urchins, barracuda’s, and tons of beautiful fish. The ride was smooth and everyone enjoyed a fabulous day!
We had an awesome day. Captain Chris pointed out amazing snorkel spots. We saw turtles, sting rays, eels, barracudas, sea urchins and tons of beautiful fish in our half day tour. Our family of 8 really enjoyed the day!
Can’t say enough about this tour! We had the best time. Captain AnnaMarie and Mae were amazing! They were so chill and knowledgeable. Having the boat to ourselves was so nice. The weather was perfect.
Beautiful views going and coming. Snorkeling around Buck Island was fun saw a couple of turtles. Stop at honeymoon beach on the way back, it was a bit of a swim but certainly worth it. Captain Chris was fantastic.
We enjoyed Captain Chris. He was great. The catamaran was not in the best of shape. The front netting were ripped and we couldn’t enjoy laying on the front netting or walking across it. Unfortunately, the sodas were all expired and tasted funny. Overall, it was a great trip and day out on the ocean with Captain Chris, he was able to take us to areas that we were trying to capture some turtles.
We had friends visiting and wanted to show them more places and get in some snorkeling as well. It was a half day trip with Capt Alex and Kahlia. This was at least the second time we’ve sailed with Capt Alex and it was wonderful. We all enjoyed the day and appreciate Capt Alex and Kahlia for making this another enjoyable Seas The Day outing.
It was the best day ever! Our captain,Aaron, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun ! I would definitely recommend this company & next time we are in the VI will book again .
We’ve never rented a boat before, so we didn’t know what to expect, BUT WOW! Hands down the best time of our whole two week vacation. The boat, crew, weather, location we sailed to all exceeded any expectations we had. Thanks a million for the wonderful memories we made, can’t wait to do this again someday!
Great, laid back charter! Our family of 10 had a memorable experience. We made 3 snorkel stops and ate lunch at a beach bar. Alex and Alicia were wonderful hosts. Definitely recommend and would love to do it again!!!
We wanted to book a private 7 hour tour on a nice catamaran. We saw 50 footers for $1300 to $1500. The said that none of those were available but they had another catamaran that was a power boat for $1500 that was even nicer, so we booked that. We ended up The Island Ryder which was a 30 foot bucket that is old and wore out. It says it holds up to 12 but 6 people would have been tripping all over each other. It also had very uncomfortable seating. Hillary was our captain and she was awesome and put us on some very nice snorkeling. I would rate her 5 out of 5.
We had a great experience on this trip. Captain Mike was very accommodating and offered great suggestions of places for us to go and things for us to do. Our party was our family of 12, ranging in age from 1 to 60+. He took into account everyone’s preferences and we enjoyed the day. Captain Mike also offered insights and information on the places that we visited. He provided great music and beverages for us, and was always ensuring that we were enjoying ourselves. I would definitely do it again!
Beautiful massive turtles over off of St John. The water was absolutely stunning. Hillary did a great job of narrating history and landmarks along the way
Awesome trip! Captain Bryan and crew JW were great hosts and ambassadors to the VI. Highly recommend this boat and especially these guys!
Capt Hillary listened to what we were interested in seeing and planned snorkeling stops and lunch that was incredible and filled every moment of our day at sea. Lime Out for lunch was a special experience for lunch and the final snorkeling stop after topped off the day.
Captain Hilary was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She showed us a fabulous day in USVI at our pace.
Jw the captain was great in how he handled the boat and my family I would recommend this experience to anyone who comes to the island
My girlfriend and I did the full day; snorkel and beach trip....very relaxing, the guys treated us very well. Great drinks, scenery and highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with this Captain Maddy and First Mate Hans. This was literally the best day of our 7 day family vacation! Highly recommend you make time for this on your next trip to USVI!
Worth every penny! We did the 35’ catamaran. Lunch at lovango took a long time (which wasn’t normal) but I didn’t mind the break. The crew was amazing and we had the best time! 100% will do again when we come back.
Wonderful to have your own boat instead of usually crowded snorkeling boats. Staff friendly. Beautiful catamaran
