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.

Perfect day in the water - We had an amazing day with Captain Kevin! The boat was perfect four our group of four couples, and Captain Kevin expertly navigated us through choppy water. He treated us to snorkeling that was like swimming in an aquarium, private beaches, and great food and drink spots. It was a ton of fun, and Captain Kevin ensured everyone was safe and respectful of the environment without ever being overbearing - he was a perfect host. I highly recommend him and Carpe Diem for a USVI / BVI boat tour.

Perfect Boating Adventure - Our group of 8 adults had an amazing adventure with Captain Kevin. We went around the island of St. John to snorkel and explore pristine islands. We saw sea turtles and countless fish. Kevin helped us plan the perfect day. Will definitely go back on our next visit!

Fantastic Day! - Our family of 12 (6 kids and 6 adults) had a fantastic day on the water with Carpe Diem! Kevin was a fantastic driver/guide taking us to a cove for snorkeling and swimming, a gorgeous beach and lunch at a floating pizza restaurant! The boat was plenty big for our group and was well equipped with snorkeling gear and flotation devices.

Beautiful boat Fun Half day tour from st Thomas to St John’s. - Came into port on Royal Caribbean cruise for a half day. Captain Kevin picked us up promptly and walked with us to the speed boat about 5 minutes away. My wife and my two small children along for the ride. He took us to 3 gorgeous beaches as requested by us on St John Scott’s beach Maho bay and Trunks Bay! We snorkeled for a bit and hung out on the beaches. He provided snorkel gear, life jackets, and a large raft. Got us back to the ship on time to leave. Friendly, easygoing and individually tailored trip for a reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Especially if you need your own timeline.

Wonderful Day with Capt Kevin and Carpe Diem Charters - Had a wonderful time on the water with Carpe Diem Charters. Captain Kevin was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. We snorkeled in many spots with beautiful fish, turtles, starfish and a few stingrays; floated around, saw many sites around the outside of the islands and had a nice lunch at a floating pizza restaurant. The boat was perfect (very clean and plenty of room for our 10 family members) and we felt safe and attended to the entire day. I would recommend this charter and definitely Captain Kevin to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.
