 Charter captains with me and Bob in Red Hook by grandmaR, 4 more photos There's a big charter industry in the Virgin Islands. Tortola is a big center for bareboat charters, but for our first time we chartered out of Red Hook on St. Thomas and did a crewed charter. The lady on the left and the gentleman on the right were the charter captains. A crewed charter is like a seaborne A/I - it's better than a cruise ship because you can pick where you want to go. On some boats you can also dive, so if you want to do that, be sure to pick one that it's available.
Pack in soft -side luggage (stows better) and don't bring much. Bathing suits, cover-ups, boat shoes, your own snorkeling and/or diving gear if you have it, sunscreen, and a jacket or sweater. A crewed charter will include all but one or two meals. Leave a Comment

My son and I dive every year and this year we selected the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas in particular. St. Thomas is certainly not going to be in the top 5 or 10 of your dive hot spots, but we were both surprised by our dives. We used a dive shop called Coki Beach Dive Club on the East side of the island. They were great. We prefer small groups--6-8 divers--so we can get to know the other divers, the dive shop owners, and in a way feel special about the dive trip. Our dive master took us on some memorable dives--one through some beautiful chutes and arches, and another on a drift dive. The coral was abundant everywhere and the leaf corral was so huge!

by arissat You'll find great beaches to snorkel. Coki Beach is very popular for snorkeling, but we had great experience at Sapphire Beach, even though people there said that there is not a great place for snorkeling...
You will find rentals for the snorkeling equipment, but we brought ours. There are some beaches that does not offer rentals, so this is why I would suggest to bring your own snorkel equipment. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Here is a video highliting our trip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAgnigV8Zjc I've wanted to catch a Wahoo for a long time. Thanks to Captain Tyler, I can cross that one off the list. My friend Wally and I chartered the Center Console for 3/4 day. We left at Noon and returned after dark. We fished along a drop off called the North Drop which drops quickly from 400 feet to thousands of feet of water. “Our reputation for catching fish is largely due to the experience and knowledge of our captains Jonathan Gatcliffe, Colin Butler, Tyler Maltby, Chris Berry and their desire to give our guests the most exciting fishing trip of their lives.”
Bring a hat, sun glasses, sun tan lotion, camera, and lots of film! Their Fleet consists of a 40 ft. sport fishing boat and 2 32 ft. center console, diesel powered, open fishing boats with a large T-top covering all seating areas. These boats are fully equipped including a marine head for your convenience and full electronics for your safety and enjoyment. We also furnish all rods and reels with fishing tackle to make your trip a fun & successful one.
