Embark on a 4 hour shared charter experience to Turtle Cove and Honeymoon Beach. At Turtle Cove on Buck Island, we’ll have your snorkel gear prepared for you to explore coral reefs home to tropical fish like snapper, hamlets, parrotfish, surgeonfish, squirrelfish, and other sea life including turtles. Once the group is finished snorkeling, enjoy cold beer, sodas, and water.

Beware - Trip will be cancelled if minimum not met, and no warning or update will be provided until the evening before. I booked this tour for our family of 4, and was notified the evening before that the minimum was not met. What is infuriating is I checked with Seas the Day the week before and asked if the tour was planned and they said yes - with no indication that the minimum had not been met. I knew there was a minimum requirement which is why I reached out to confirm in advance if the tour was planned. Unfortunately with the late notice we were unable to book another tour in St. Thomas. I think its unprofessional and dishonest that they would not tell me the minimum had not been met when I reached out to confirm the excursion in advance. Beware if you book a trip that requires a minimum.

Great crew and the catamaran is nice! However, the boat was over crowded with people. It was very hard to get a seat in the shade. It would be a much better experience with 5-10 less people on that boat. The places we went to snorkel were also over crowded with many boats and tourists. Very little wildlife seen and the bottom was very churned up/cloudy from the amount of people and boats.

It was not clear enough at all were we were supposed to meet to be picked up. It was a small group of just my wife and I and one other family of 3, which was nice Drinks were provide (nice). First snorkel spot was good, we saw lots of turtles, but the water is not very clear. Second spot was not that great. Be aware that the Honeymoon Beech you are taken to is not the famous one in the national park. Got a text after complaining about the tip, which soured the whole experience for me.

First, the captain was awesome. The boat was in good shape. The size and intimacy was way better than the larger boats. Water and beverages were provided. The bottom line is that we would book it again regardless of some of my improvement comments to follow: snorkel gear needs upgrading; more water and chilled would have been better. Drop off at Honeymoon beach vs an Olympic pool swim both ways (acknowledge a slight exaggeration) like the other boats. Better marking and or communication with the meeting spot. We were there 15 mins late and the captain about 15 mins later than that. We also lost an engine for the ride from HM beach to Port which was OK by us since it made the ride longer and we saw the scenery. It did interfere with us getting back in time to beat an outgoing cruise ship and thus we had to wait. We still had 30 mins to get back to the ship which was a 10 to 12 min walk.

The crew were amazing. Capt Maddie and First Mate Alex showed us an amazing time. They took us to a beautiful cove on one island with crystal Blue waters where we saw fish and a ship wreck. The next stop was an amazing beach where you could swim with the sea turtles!!!!!

So much fun! Crew was great and helpful. We got to swim with some turtles and other fish. Rum Punch, Beer, Water and Sodas were provided during the entire trip. Would not recommend for smaller children, important to be able to swim. Went to Buck Island and Honeymoon beach. Easy bus ride to Havensight Dock and we took a taxi back to our RC Ship. Our tour was 2pm-6pm. Got back in plenty time to port and did a little shopping.

At first we weren't sure if we were going to be able to make this experience due to some ferry misunderstanding (don't mind us virgin island virgins), we are sure glad we did. The meeting point was pretty simple to locate and actually kinda hard to mess up. Our caption, Annemarie might hands down be the funniest, down to earth person we've ever experienced. Which made our experience that much better. Danielle (I believe was her name) was equally as enjoyable. Not to mention, how fascinating it was to watch her hop and handle the boat as well as she did on top of making sure everyone had everything they needed. Drinks and all. The entire trip was an experience of it's own. And we are really happy that we go to experience it with the captain and first mate we did. 12 out of 10 for sure.
