Lost track of how many boat trips we have done with John!!! Always an awesome day on the water. Sue and John do a great job making sure your day is perfect. Will be planning another trip next year for sure :)

Out boat trip with Palm Tree Charters and Captain John was simply put, outstanding. He was very courteous and showed us a wonderful time. It was the high point of our trip this year to STJ. His wife, Sue, set up everything for us in a timely, thoughtful fashion. The snorkeling at the Indians was breathtaking. Also enjoyed lunch on... More

Captain John is very laid back, a great tour guide, and story teller. It's obvious that Captain John is known around the area as being a character. The boat is a very comfortable Glacier Bay dual hull which rides very smoothly through what can be somewhat choppy water. There's also ample shade on the boat for those who need it.... More

By way of writing this review, I wanted to take the time to thank Captain John for a wonderful vacation in St John. This was our first time to St John. Due to Captain John's efforts, we had a tremendous time on the water exploring multiple beaches and destinations. The trip over to the British Virgin Isles (lunch at Willy... More

When we started planning our 7th trip to St. John we knew it had to be extra special because it would be over my 50th birthday. After researching day charter boat options we knew the best choice was Palm Tree Charters. Our expectations were pretty high as we had read so many exceptional reviews from previous cruisers. Our day was... More

One Hundred Percent using Captain John everytime I go to St. John. He was fun, funny, and informative. My friends used him last year and they loved him. It was the Highlight of my trip, and everyone else i was with said the same. Best part is you can go again and again and have a different experience because he... More

My husband and I had a fantastic time with Captain John. The weather was perfect and the trip was frustation free. We drove past Caneel Bay and saw tons of gorgeous houses dotting the coastline. Castles really. Just gorgeous! We stopped in Tortola to check in with customs and then made our way to the Indians to snorkel. Then off... More

This was our 4th visit to St John, 2nd time at Caneel Bay, first for my husband and i without our kiddos (who were outraged when i presented the trip to my husband at Christmas) and also our first with Palm Tree. I think we're getting closer to perfection which I think will only be achieved by increasing the length... More

Captain John did a wonderful job! He had a very relaxed attitude. The boat was very comfortable, plenty of shade (if you need it) or seats in the sun. He gave us a great tour of the north side of St. John. We continued on to the BVI: we went to Norman Island to snorkel. He found a great spot!... More
