Explore the Best of St. Thomas: Summer Adventures with St. Thomas Boat Charters!

St. Thomas Boat Charters has been enjoying the start to the summer season! The
water temperatures have been above average, which makes the snorkeling very
comfortable and fun to stay in the water longer. This year we have been blessed with
calm seas which allows us the opportunity to explore some of the best and unique spots
that are home to beautiful fish and coral. Now that the British Virgin Islands are open
again, we have been spending a lot of time visiting the highlighted spots. If you are into
beaching and some of the most beautiful clear blue water we always recommend
checking out the island of Jost Van Dyke. There are so many great beach bars and
restaurants that offer fresh lobster, fish tacos, cheeseburgers, and of course your
favorite island cocktails. Jost Van Dyke is a small island with so much positive energy
and kind people that will make your day so enjoyable. If you want to check out some
amazing snorkeling Norman Island AKA Treasure Island is home to the best snorkeling
around. The Indians is by far one of the healthiest and colorful reefs in the Virgin
Islands. We have snorkel gear for everyone on board, and we have tons of quality floats
for everyone that will make the whole experience much less stressful. The Treasure
Caves is also a great snorkel spot, and you can actually snorkel inside the caves and
you will see different fish inside the cave. Norman Island is known as Treasure Island
because the book was based on this exact location. So there is a chance that you could
find some hidden treasure! When everyone is hungry Norman Island is home to two
amazing lunch spots. If you want to eat at a floating pirate ship Willy T is a fun spot to
grab a bite and jump off the top if you are up for it. Willy T’s is a great place for all ages,
and is sure to be one of the highlights of the day! Pirates Bight is also a great lunch
option, and offers quality menu on the beach. The food is an A+, and the atomosphere
is also just as amazing. One of our favorite itineraries is to combine Norman Island and
Jost Van Dyke in the same day which give you the best of both worlds all in one day.
Give us a call or send us a note on the website, and we can create a memorable day
