4.Caribbean Blue Charters – Full Day Boat Charter – 35′ Marlin Power Boat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 174 reviews

Spend about 7.5 hours aboard a private 35-foot Marlin powerboat from St Thomas. Your captain, often Nate, Kyle, Brendan, or Anthony, can shape the day around swimming, snorkeling, beaches, Lime Out, and island views. Gear, floats, music, ice, a cooler, and hotel pickup are included, but fuel, the captain fee, and gratuity cost extra.

“We had a great day on the boat with the family. Nate has been an excellent captain. The kids loved him and he customized the itinerary to perfectly fit the entire family. BTW don't forget that fuel cost and Captains fee is extra. Tip should be based off total price not just Captains fee FYI which wasn't quite clear to us initially. But this is standard proactive for most operators. Just something to be aware of. Recommend this without any restrictions.”
