Charter Boat Tour - Captain Kevin at Carpe Diem Charters gave us an incredible day on the water. From start to finish, everything was professional, relaxed, and well organized. Captain Kevin was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone on board had a great time.
The boat was clean and comfortable, and the experience felt both safe and exciting. You can tell they truly care about making sure their guests have a memorable trip. Whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time out, they make the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a great charter while visiting the area, I highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters. We had an amazing time and would absolutely book with Captain Kevin again in the future!

Best Day Charter in the islands - We have taken many day charters both in the USVI and BVI and Chris and Carpe Diem are the best we've been with. The day was designed perfectly with stops for amazing snorkeling (Boobie Rock is a must!), lunch at Pizza Pi, drinks at Dinghies and a generous stop for us to meet up with some friends later in the day at Christmas Cove. Pickup and drop off at the Westin were a breeze, communication was outstanding, and Chris was a warm host who made the whole day the best for our vacation (special shoutout to Grandma's ginger snap cookies!). Our highest recommendation goes to Carpe Diem and we can't wait to book with them again next time we're in St. John.

The BEST DAY EVER ! All 8 of had such a fabulous and memorable day. Captain Kevin was a gem. It was perfect weather. - Captain Kevin accommodated all generations needs. We had perfect weather for snorkeling even in areas that aren’t ideal conditions. The many many aquatic creatures were a joy to behold. Turtles and octopus were highlights. Floating chairs and under water scooters added to the fun. Captain Chris was very responsive with any and all questions either by phone or by text.

Amazing - Carpe Diem Charters showed us the best day around the island of St Thomas and St John. We had a great captain in Kevin who was incredible! We snorkeled in 2 beautiful locations and hung on chair rafts in the crystal blue water. We got lunch out on a pizza water boat and toured all the best areas by boat. It was a perfect day touring the 2 islands!

Amazing day on the water in the USVi! - Amazing experience from start to finish! Chris called to ask what we wanted to do on our all day private charter. He was very professional and covered everything. Our Captain, Kevin, was outstanding! Also very professional, as well as knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and fun! He took us to all the places we wanted to go, and then some: the best snorkeling spot in the USVI, lunch at Lime Out, swimming/snorkeling with turtles, as well as some additional sightseeing. We really appreciated all he shared with us about the islands. The boat was clean, had lots of different places to sit, snorkeling equipment, cold waters, & a fresh water shower. This was perfect for our family of 4, but you can definitely do it with more people. We highly recommend Carpe Diem Charters, and will definitely be using them again on our next visit to the USVI!

Beautiful tour - Great Captain - Fortunate enough to have Captain Chris and a full gorgeous day of boating around the USVI. The boat is gorgeous, and has a spacious layout that is great for a family on the water. We were able to explore many gorgeous sights and Captain Chris has a wealth of knowledge about the islands, that made the sight seeing that much more memorable.
If you’re looking for a memorable experience while in the USVI - you’ll get exactly what you’re looking for with this boat tour. Gorgeous sights and great people!

So much fun! - We had the best time with Carpe Diem charters! Kevin showed us the best beaches and snorkel spots. The boat is in great condition and it has all the gear you could need. I would highly recommend Carpe Diem for exploring the USVI and BVI.
