Want to see the best snorkeling spots in the US Virgin Islands? Look no further. Nate
and his experienced team have you covered. We specialize in finding the best snorkel
spots away from the crowds. We focus on getting to those spots that you can’t access
from land. St. Thomas Boat Charters has quality snorkel gear, and flotation devices that
will make the whole experience very easy and stress free. The boat has a custom built
dive ladder that makes getting in and out of the water very easy. Now let’s talk about a
few of our favorite snorkel spots on the US side.

1. Christmas Cove. Home to the famous shipwreck and fish cay. We love to spend
   time checking out all the colorful fish and coral at Fish Cay. The coral is so
   healthy and there are thousands of fish to check out. This snorkel is great for
   both beginners and advanced snorkelers. Another epic spot inside Christmas
   Cove is the shipwreck. Snorkel around the shipwreck and hang out with the local
   turtles that are very laid back and easygoing.
2. Lovango Cay. Check out the healthy and lively shallow water reef. Lovango cay
   has an extremely vibrant array of fish and colorful corals to check out. If you want
   to stay close to the boat, there are tons of fish to see right below the surface
   under the boat. We often will see a nurse shark sleeping on the bottom, or a
   hawksbill turtle hanging out in the coral. Lovango is always a great spot to check
   out!
3. Maho Bay St. John. If you want the best chance to swim and snorkel with giant
   turtles, this is a must see during your day on the water. Maho Bay has a special
   grass on the bottom that the turtles love to munch on, and you will get the chance
   to snorkel with a turtle and most times a remora. Maho Bay is always calm, and a
   great place to start for all levels of snorkeling.
   When you reserve a private boat for the day, we know how important it is to make the
   most of your time on the water. When you arrive at the boat in the morning, your
   Captain will help map out an amazing itinerary that everyone will enjoy. We supply top
   of the line snorkel gear, and high end flotation devices that will make the whole
   experience very easy and fun for the whole family. If you want a refresher course or are
   a first time snorkeler, just ask one of our captains for a quick lesson and we will get you
   all set up and ready to snorkel. We love what we do, and we can’t wait to spend the day
   with you.

Incredible Snorkeling Experiences

This month, we’ve had some amazing snorkeling adventures! Last week at Christmas Cove, we spotted a family of vibrant starfish—a special treat since they move surprisingly fast across the ocean floor.

Maho Bay has been another highlight, offering incredible opportunities to swim alongside majestic green sea turtles. These gentle creatures love the sea grass, and if you’re patient, they’ll glide right up to you for an up-close experience.

Fish Cay, off Epstein Island, has also been a favorite spot this month. With thriving coral reefs and an abundance of colorful marine life, it’s a snorkeler’s paradise. On most days, you’ll encounter pufferfish, parrotfish, sergeant majors, and even the occasional lobster.
