Choosing The Perfect Cruise

Let Captain Nate and his team craft the perfect day for your group. Whether you’re looking to explore the British Virgin Islands or stay closer to the U.S. side, they’ll map out an unforgettable adventure.

Explore the British Virgin Islands

If you’re interested in the BVI, there are countless incredible places to visit. One of Captain Nate’s top picks is Virgin Gorda, home to the famous rock formation known as The Baths. This stunning national park features massive house-sized granite boulders spread across one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Take your time exploring the breathtaking grottos and caves, or enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters.

For a more laid-back experience, Jost Van Dyke is the perfect escape. This island boasts pristine white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and an inviting, relaxed atmosphere. A must-visit spot is Sandy Spit, a tiny, picturesque island with a handful of palm trees—famously featured in the original Corona commercial.

If you love beach bars, don’t miss the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar, home of the famous Painkiller cocktail. With a fantastic lunch menu and a lively atmosphere, it’s a great place to sip a drink, enjoy the scenery, and do some people-watching.

For snorkeling enthusiasts, Norman Island is a top choice. It’s home to the Indian Rocks and the legendary Treasure Caves, both teeming with marine life and vibrant coral reefs. After snorkeling, grab a bite at Pirate’s Bight, or experience a floating bar at the Willy T, a pirate ship-turned-restaurant serving delicious island cuisine and fresh seafood.

Stay Closer to Home

If you’d rather explore the U.S. Virgin Islands, there are plenty of breathtaking locations nearby. St. John is a nature lover’s paradise, with 75% of the island designated as a national park. You’ll find stunning beaches, incredible snorkeling, and hidden coves waiting to be explored. One highlight is the famous Taco Boat, where you can enjoy delicious tacos right on the water.

St. Thomas also offers a wealth of beautiful snorkeling spots and fantastic local lunch options, making it a great choice for those who prefer to stay closer to home while still enjoying an unforgettable experience.

No matter what adventure you choose, Captain Nate and his team will ensure you have the best day of your vacation!
