Captain Sean, Captain Tuna, Captain Nate, and the rotating crew here consistently deliver exceptional snorkel and sunset cruises around St. Thomas. Guests rave about how knowledgeable and entertaining the captains are, sharing island history and local stories while expertly navigating to prime spots for turtle sightings and vibrant coral reefs. The crew's attentiveness stands out in nearly every review—they're constantly checking in, refilling drinks, and making sure everyone feels welcome and cared for throughout the journey. The snorkel tours typically include three stops with comprehensive safety instructions, and the food impresses beyond expectations with fresh, thoughtful meals that feel surprisingly upscale for a charter. Multiple reviewers appreciated the eco-friendly touch of reusable dishes instead of disposables. Even with boats at full capacity (around 24-30 guests), the catamarans never feel cramped. The six-hour snorkel adventure and sunset champagne cruise both get glowing feedback for the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and that personal touch that makes guests feel like more than just another tour group.
My mother and I went on the Snorkel Cat on June 3, 2025. We were in St. Thomas as a stop on a cruise, and this tour was one of the ones recommended through Vacations To Go. While it was a bit of a jaunt to get to the Margaritaville Hotel from the cruise port, we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived how beautiful the location was. When we arrived we were greeted by a lady working in the Dive Shop, who gave us instructions on what to do to check in for the tour. Shortly after, our captain "Big Tuna" arrived to begin checking all the groups in. From beginning to end, the crew was so friendly, knowledgeable, and cared that we had a great (and safe) experience. They provided an excellent light breakfast and lunch, and it was clear that the crew put a great amount of care into preparing the food for us. The weather was fantastic and Big Tuna provided commentary on the islands and scenery we were passing as we headed to our snorkel locations. They played fun music as we sailed, and the crew members were constantly coming around to ask whether we needed anything to drink. The actual snorkeling was great. We were provided comprehensive instructions and a safety demonstration before we were allowed to go in the water. Our first location was a bit wavy due to the wind, but we were given safety tips and had a successful stop, seeing lots of colorful fish amongst the reefs. The second stop was incredible, the water was calm and clear, and we were able to see turtles grazing on turtle grass and some rays. On the sail back, Big Tuna took us around some of the other islands, giving us some history as well as sharing his personal experiences growing up in the area. We felt like we actually got to see a lot of St. Thomas in addition to snorkeling. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a smaller group tour that is intimate and has a crew that cares about their guests' experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go again if I was in the area!
