Enjoy a day in the beautiful USVI and BVI.
One Caribbean Charter was an amazimg expirience. Me and my family rent a boat for the 4th of July weekend every year and this has been one of the best. The boat was in amazing conditions, Rikky was very quick to respond to any questions we had and Jervan was an amazing captain. Showed us the best St. John/St. Thomas has to offer very flexible in the itinerary with great knowledge of the area and great recomendations.

Enjoy a day in the beautiful USVI and BVI.
Jervan took us to all the awesome snorkeling spots, and best beaches. Kept us out of the rain and clouds, and had some awesome knowledge of the history of the islands. He also knew the name of every island we passed and took us to a great tavo spot on the water.
