    Very informative tour guide Ron, showed us the areas and gave us history along the stops. Very open to letting us choose how to spend the time. The vehicle was modern and well cared for.

    We had a wonderful half-day charter with One Caribbean. Jashae, our captain, made the trip extra special with his fun, laid-back style. The boat was beautiful and the spots where Jashae took us had excellent snorkeling. We will definitely book with Jashae and One Caribbean on our next trip to USVI.

    We decided last minute to convert from a 1/2 day to a full day charter and Holly made it incredibly easy. Our experience was absolutely awesome and was the best part of our trip. We’ve done many charters on other islands, but this ended up being our favorite. Captain Mike was nothing short of outstanding. He tailored the day around our interests and gave us an incredible history lesson on the USVI. He went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and made suggestions on stops based on wind and visibility. We had multiple snorkel stops and sightseeing around St John and around the various islands. Lunch was at High Tide in Cruz Bay. Captain Mike even sent us our itinerary and photos he took at the end of the day. We can’t recommend Seas the Day and Captain Mike enough!

    The highlight of our trip to St John. Captain Andrew will customize your 4 hour trip. We snorkeled in a few different spots and circumnavigated the entire island. He was so knowledgeable about St John ‘s history. It is a definite must do! Highly recommended.

    This is an excellent tour. If you are coming to STJ for a day, a week, or longer, this tour should go on your list of things to do. We got to see Maho, The Annaberg Ruins, Cinnamon, and Trunk. Even tho we got to a lot of places, I didn't feel rushed. You can even ask the driver to spend a little longer in certain spots. What I suggest is do this tour first, then when you find a beach or area of the island you like, you can go back with a cab later during your trip. The driver will also use a mic and point out different places around the island. Starfish has a cooler for you to put in sodas, waters, beers too.

    I am sure they have plenty of different drivers. The driver assigned to our family was Dean. Also can't say enough good things about Dean. I told him a little bit about what we wanted to see and he took it over from there. He even stopped off at a few places I didn't know about and we got to see some amazing views. Dean was friendly, helpful, informative, and took good care of us! We rented a VRBO in Cruz Bay and instead of taking us back to the bottom of the hill, he took us to our VRBO entrance which was very nice of him. He did a great job! If you book this trip, be sure to bring cash to tip your driver too. Dean was super!!

    Also need to shout out customer service. I dealt with Kharid (I think that was her name) on the phone and email a good bit when planning. At first she asked us to re-arrange a date because one of their trucks was down. We worked it out with no problem. Then we had to re-adjust again because of weather and I had to change days. Again, we worked it out no problem. Starfish customer service from the time I booked the trip until the time it was over was on point and so helpful. Can't thank them enough for their really great communication.

    In summary- whether you have been to STJ or not, I highly recommend you book the 4 hr tour.

    We had an amazing day! Captain Ivan took us around the islands to all the best snorkeling spots. He was extremely knowledgeable about the islands and shared lots of interesting tidbits. Captain Ivan was amazing and we all had a great day!

    Captain Dave was beyond amazing! He was very responsive as we were arriving by our cruise ship, but he took us places he thought we'd enjoy and was so much fun to talk to. We never felt rushed at any or our stops and truly wanted us to have an unbelievable experience...which we did. I've reserved private boats in other locations, but our friends never had and now will never do another one of those crowded excursions again! We went to an amazing little resort for lunch and then snorkeled there and then at a different location.

    The boat, however, could use a lot of updating. It was fine for what we needed/wanted, but it was old and a little rusty in places.

    Overall we had a wonderful day and would highly recommend Seas the Day for a day out.

    Had a great tour day with Captain Alex on 1/8/25. We were on the Island Flyer and it was the perfect size for our group of 10 adults. As the one in charge of putting our group charter together everyone in my group told me how much they enjoyed the captain, boat, snorkeling, and stopping to each lunch at Dinghy’s on the beach. Thanks for a great charter!

    We took the full day sail of the USVI on the Blue Dream and it was incredible. The 54 foot sloop has a roomy shaded cockpit, fun bean bag seating on the bow for the more adventurous sunbathers, and a convenient swim deck at the stern for easy on and off to the dingy or swimming/snorkeling. The boat Captains Tommy and Therese were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and experienced skippers who made the sail fun while ensuring our safety. They even let us take the helm as the boat cruised along at 7 knots between St John and St Thomas! They served excellent cocktails and delicious fish tacos and beef tacos. We stopped to swim and snorkel at Scott Beach on St John, a beautiful beach in front of the ruins of what was once the exclusive Caneel Bay Resort. We later stopped at Christmas Cove, home of the Pizza PI boat. It was a wonderful day of sun, sailing, and swimming. I hope to go again!

    Mike was incredible on our full day boat trip. The boat was sooo fun and my kids loved it. Mike took us to multiple snorkel spots where we saw turtles, fish, coral and even a nurse shark. We ordered pizzaPi on the water and drinks for the boat and got to snack and have cocktails as well. We have booked other private boats where they just took us to one or two locations. This was not that. Mike took us all over and pointed out islands and landmarks telling us the history. 10/10 book this trip!!!

    This is our fourth year sailing with Tommy and his crew. Yet again he worked seamlessly with us to set up the day. Very communicative as always. He is fun, personable, and knowledgeable. The sail was again excellent and relaxing with stops at Soggy Dollar and Sandy Spit. So glad we have someone we can count on to always provide us with a great day out on the water.

    The tour was awesome! Our family of 8 did the 4 hour, private-plan your own tour! We chose to go to Maho, Cinnamon and Trunk Bay. They picked us up at Cruz Bay and dropped us off at Mongoose Junction ( per our request for eating /shopping)!
    The guide was great, talked to us along the drive, gave us a history and fun facts! We had water, drinks, and the open air taxi was the only way to go. We will definitely do it again if we come back!
