Private Half-day Guided Snorkeling Charter In St. Thomas

Great experience with Abby, Dylan, and Captain David. Highly recommend these guys for your snorkeling adventure.

Best ever snorkeling trip in St. Thomas David Abbey and Dylan were wonderful. They did a great job and we enjoyed all the time we had withthem.

Captain Dave and Zach did an excellent job. Was lots of fun.

Had an Amazing time. Dillon and David were great, both made sure everyone was at ease while having an amazing time. We saw some great sea life and amazing sight. Thanks Dillion and David!

The crew were awesome! Zach, Kyle, and Ben were all courteous and fun. Great trip. The boat was comfy and views were amazing. Only complaint… they needed Gatorade.

We had the best time. Never went snorkeling before. Abby made us so comfortable. Excellent instructor and guide. The entire crew was welcoming and made sure we were all comfortable and had a great experience! Will definitely do this again!

Kyle, Erika, and Dave could not be more friendly or helpful. Great afternoon snorkeling! I did the discovery dive last year and I will go back again.

Ketchup and the entire crew were absolutely fantastic. My family has dived all over the world, and this experience ranks among our all-time favorites. If you're visiting by cruise, skip the crowded excursions and choose a more personal, smaller-group dive like this one—you won’t be disappointed. The attention to detail, professionalism, and fun atmosphere made it truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!

The snorkeling was amazing and Captain Blessing did an amazing job. Our snorkeling guide Erika was amazing and did an awesome job of answering questions about all the sea life that we observed. And Sam booked us the trip and was amazing with all the arrangements.

7 stars out of 5. We had a fabulous time. 6 adults with 7 kids under 12yo. Captain Tommy, Abby and Kyle were wonderful and so great with the kids. We had pizza delivered to the boat from a pizza making boat. Truly a fabulous experience. Snorkeling along we saw all the fish, turtles, sting rays, a jumping sting ray, and coral. Definitely recommend it!

Wow, what a great day! We saw turtles, Eagle Rays, an octopus, barracuda, starfish and so much more. Steph and Ann Cate were the best guides and extremely helpful on our first snorkel trip. Very professional, clean boat, high end equipment! If you’re thinking about this type of adventure you really should pick this company …. Highly recommend!

Great staff. We did the Cow dive and it was amazing. Even though I’m certified I get nervous every start and Jaime did a great job at relaxing me and ensuring I didn’t miss out on the experience.

We had a family group of 19 on the snorkel boat on July 18, 2024 with Tommy as our Captain. The crew of 3 were absolutely perfect for our group. All of us had an amazing time snorkeling and having rum punch. Would definitely use Aqua Marine Dive Shop again! Fantastic!!! Dale and family

This was simply incredible! If you want a private boat with just your group you need to book this! Our guides Tommy, Erika and Jamie were awesome. They joked around with us but still made sure we were safe. We saw amazing sea creatures like sea turtles, squid, so many colorful fish, sting rays, a manta ray and even an eel! Our guides made sure we did not touch any of the wild life or disrupt them but we were able to swim close to them which, as I’ve stated already, was incredible. They also gave us time to hang out on the boat at the end and swim for fun. If you are ever in St. Thomas this is a must! Great views, amazing water, quality time with just your group and the best guides!

What an experience!! Tommy, our guide and captain was awesome!! Jamie and Erika were our snorkeling guides and were fabulous!! They pointed out sea turtles, eels, squid, and all sorts of other fish that we would have never seen. They handled our large group of sixteen with ease as we all enjoyed the beauty of the Caribbean!! Thank you all for such a fabulous tour!!

Such an amazing time! From the moment we met Jamie, Tommy, and Erika we knew we were in good hands and were going to have an incredible and unforgettable experience. They brought us to two different locations, both were amazing! We saw lots of coral and colorful fish at the first and stingray, turtles, and lots of squid at the second. Highly recommend this amazing excursion!

I have snorkeled a few times previously but this was up and above my FAVORITE snorkeling excursion!! Our guides Tommy, Jamie and Erika were soooo much fun!! They were very professional and knowledgeable and we felt safe! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excursion!!

10/10 recommend! Tommy, Jaime and Erika were unbelievable guides, and so patient with our group of 16! We had an amazing adventure. We saw sea turtles, manta rays, sting rays, colorful fish, squid and even ra green eel! We couldn’t have asked for a better day! If you are looking for a great day of picturesque views and amazing snorkeling, pick them!!❤️

We had 16 people, 3 families with a mix of adults and teenagers. From the greeting g of the staff to dating our goodbyes, this was a top itch experience. Tommy ( owner/driver), Jamie aka Hymie ( snorkel guide and valedictorian of his class LOL), and Erika( snorkel guide/sweet girl) these 3 were absolutely amazing. We went to 2 different snorkel sites and saw so much aquatic life. Sea turtles, fish of all varieties, green moray eel, sting ray, manta ray, etc!!! We ended with rum punch and doing flips and dives off of the boat. This is truly a 10/10 excursion! Thank you Tommy, Jamie, and Erika for providing lifelong memories for our families!!!

I went for the Scuba tuneup and my husband did the snorkeling! We had an amazing two dives.Steph and Tommy were great! Jamie helped me tremendously since I had not scuba dived in 30 years. The sites they took us to had beautiful coral, rays, turtles and lots of fish. Thank you to the whole crew for a wonderful, calm tour.

Awesome snorkeling tour, Tom and Dave were wonderful and very knowledgeable. Tom took us to the best places and Dave guided us on the most amazing snorkeling tour. Definitely recommend these folks! You won’t be disappointed!!!!

What a wonderful experience! The crew was professional and really was very helpful and made you feel very safe. It was my first time snorkeling and it was fantastic! Saw loads of fish and even a sea turtle! Our personal guide Haimie was with us the whole experience pointing out great spots and helping us. Would definitely recommend this team for a great experience and time out in St Thomas. Thank you!

Was so informative & fun! Learned about all the amazing fish & sea life we saw! Boat ran great! Our snorkeling guide, gosh I’m so bad with names, she was incredibly informative, safe & made it so fun!

Very clean, safe boat. Staff was knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. The dive sites they took us to were fantastic. I would highly recommend using this company for diving.

Steph was awesome! She pointed out lots of different types of fish, and led us to spots where we saw massive sting rays. Captain Steve kept us safe and we had an amazing day!

We last minute were looking for a half day private snorkeling trip and the staff was so flexible and accommodating, Michelle helped us set everything up the morning of. On the boat, Steve & Jim were helpful when we had questions. We went to Christmas Cove which was beautiful and we saw sea turtles. We had an 18 month old with us as well and they had the appropriate life jackets for her. They had snacks & waters for us. I would totally recommend!

My husband and I chose to do a half-day snorkel trip at the Aqua Marine Dive Center during our honeymoon last week. To say that it was a dream come true for both of us is an understatement. The marine life we REALLY hoped to see were sea turtles, and the crew made it happen! They had plenty of snacks, bottled water, and sodas to drink during the trip. They first took us to Christmas Cove, and we saw MANY turtles, and even a couple sting rays. After Christmas Cove, they took us to another site to snorkel/dive at, where there was an abundance of coral and I even got to see a spotted Eagle Ray. Once we were finished snorkeling/diving, they had rum punch for all of us to drink on the way back to the marina. The crew were extremely knowledgeable, polite, clearly explained the safety rules and regulations, and they were really fun, especially Steve and Jack!

We has a great time snorkeling with Agua-Marine. Steve and Audrey were well prepared with all the gear we needed and had already scouted the weather for some calm spots. We swam with the turtles and explored a coral reef. Audrey knows her sea life and is happy to share her knowledge or just let you explore on your own. Steve was a great captain and had the boat stocked with drinks and snacks. They even helped us call for a cab when we were done. I would not hesitate to go again!

Caption Audrey and caption Steve were so chill and so so sweet and their dog is super friendly and they just made it so much fun , def recommend 1000% , such a beautiful experience! :)

Steve and Audrey were the best captains for our first time trip to St.Thomas! Great hosts! I absolutely loved snorkeling and seeing exotic fish we could never see back in Texas. Even got to taste ocean pizza! Iykyk, huge thanks to Steve and Audrey for making it so memorable!

Captain Steve and Captain Audrey were so amazing. They were very welcoming and so super nice. They gave us such an unforgettable experience!! Love them very much

Experience was amazing! We had 4 adults and 5 kids. Only 2 of us had dove before and the kids did an amazing job thanks to good instruction and patience. I will dive every trip I take from now on. Must try! Service from everyone on the boat was amazing as well. Super nice and very accommodating.

Jess and Justin were very professional and amazing snorkeling master and captain. We had a wonderful trip to Little St. James to a couple of spots and enjoyed them very much! Highly recommended for families and/or groups of friends.

Booked a private snorkeling trip for our vacation group of 9 adults. Captain Justin and Divemaster Jared took us to a cove on Little James Island. We had a range of skill levels in the group, which they were able to accommodate. The cove was awesome to explore. Everyone left with a greater knowledge of the fish, the area, and a fantastic experience to treasure.

We went on the boat with Wolfgang as our captain and had a great morning snorkeling. We went to Turtle Bay and Christmas Cove. Wolfgang was a great host and the ladies were wonderful guides in the water. We snorkeled while my brother and his wife scuba dived. My sister and her husband later dove for the first time and loved it. The water is clear and the guides are great. We enjoyed the morning on the boat and loved the rum punch!! It was a great day.

My friends and I had a wonderful time with Jess, Abby, and Floyd hosting us on the Aqua Marine boat. They took us to some great snorkeling spots where we saw a big variety of fish, coral, and other water life. Our guides pointed out all the varieties, and after finishing our snorkeling, we enjoyed captain floyd's rum punch! All in all a great day and would recommend!

We were group of 11 and most of were scared, the staff was very considerate and made sure every enjoys. The experience, staff, and gear, just brilliant and safe :)

This was the best snorkel trip I have been on. Cora and Abby were amazing guides and very knowledgeable. Floyd did a great job and was amazing! I would recommended this team for anyone, from beginners to advanced level.

Great staff and crew! Very laid back and attentive to all guests. We had an amazing time and we’re lucky enough to see 2 nurse sharks, 1 reef shark, spotted eagle ray, huge sting ray, several large tuna fish, squid, and sea turtles. Thank you guys for an amazing time. 10/10 recommend this shop!

We were greeted by Ana and Wolfgang at the marina before we boarded for our half-day snorkeling trip. My traveling companions had gone on several excursions with them previously and had told me what wonderful people they were and how well they were treated by them. They both were delightful. Captain Mike and crewmate Jess took us out for the afternoon. They were both extremely courteous and helpful plus a lot of fun! This was my first time to snorkel. I am of small stature and both of them helped get me fitted with a very good mask and fins. There were both life preservers and noodles to assist in keeping us afloat if we wished. Jess was very helpful to me as I made my first effort. Our first stop at Christmas Cove was exciting. Jess cautioned me about the coral and sea life that stung. She also informed us of the sea life we observed. Captain Mike maneuvered the boat excellently even in what " I" considered rough water. He showed us interesting sights around the different small islands and then took us to Little St James. The snorkeling there proved to be very thrilling! The schools of fish were amazing and many brightly colored fish were all around the various types of coral and sea fans. Again, Jess informed us of all the things we saw including a moray eel, stingrays, and a barracuda. I highly recommend all of them at Aqua Marine for a wonderful adventure! They are very experienced and have excellent equipment.

These folks are the best on the island. Just did a half day snokel trip. It was GREAT!!! Highly recomend. You can't go wrong here. JAMES BUTLER

Enjoyed two snorkeling excursions to Christmas Cove & Little St. James. Wonderful crew! Abbi, Jessica, Ana, & Wolfgang were all great! Very attentive & entertaining. Will definitely booked again with them the next time we’re in St. Thomas!

It began with a referral for well organized transportation from the ship. We were greeted cheerfully and boarded the boat which was roomy and comfortable for our party. Anna and Steve took us to areas that weren’t crowded at all and the snorkeling was wonderful! They were really great with our teenagers too! Highly recommend Aqua Marine!!!

Abby, Wolfgang, and Anna were exceptional! They were warm and inviting, funny, and very knowledgeable. They were accommodating to our group including both new and experienced snorkelers and swam right along with us to point out different sea life including stingrays, fish, and sea urchins. This is our 6th cruise and was the best excursion we’ve ever been on. We made memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Our snorkeling adventure was absolutely perfect. Aqua Marine's team are beyond friendly, helpful, and amazing hosts. Everyone in our group of six would all agree. They immediately treated us like family. Their amazing company was just as enjoyable as the great snorkeling experience. Our group ranged from zero experience to certified divers, but Aqua Marine quickly and smoothly got us all sorted with gear and instructions, ready for a great day of snorkeling at two different locations. Ana was a great guide. Not only is she knowledgeable and skilled, but enthusiastic, accommodating and helpful. We saw lots of wildlife, learned a lot and laughed a lot. Everyone in my group later thanked me for "finding such a great excursion," for our cruise. I also appreciated the steps they took to respect wildlife and the environment. They explained how to behave around the wildlife, avoiding dropping anchor if possible, and even picked up trash laying on the bottom of the ocean. You will feel confident and safe with Aqua Marine. You won't regret booking them for any experience while you're at St. Thomas. I've included some photos taken by myself and by Ana (who is a great underwater photographer, check them out at their instagram: @aquamarinestthomas) Thanks again for a great trip.

Ana and Wolf were fantastic. They did a great job accommodating our large group that included folks of varying ages and snorkeling experience. They also gave us options regarding where we would go based on what we were looking to see. Would recommend this for folks looking to see the island and enjoy a relaxing, fun, and adventurous day in St. Thomas.

Very professional and helpful. Accommodated our group of 14 with 8 adults and 6 kids from ages 4-14. We saw beautiful fish, several rays, and a sea turtle. Highly recommend this experience.

This was the experience of a lifetime!!! We were guaranteed to swim with sea turtles and they delivered! Ana was an amazing guide. We had a young man with our group that was not super comfortable in the water and Ana stayed by his side. At some points she was holding his arm to help reassure him that he was okay. By the end of the day, he was snorkeling on his own. Wonderful people who are very conscientious about the coves and their inhabitants, ensuring that their guests have a great time, while respecting the beauty that is around them. HIGHLY recommended and will go out with them again upon our next trip to St. Thomas. Don't wait, book with them now!!!!

Wolfgang, Ana, and Cora were delightful to be aboard with. Very knowledgeable of the island, sea life, and everything in between! Thank you for making the experience so fun and enjoyable! As a family of 5, we would recommend Aqua Marine to anyone and everyone who comes to the islands!
