    Best excursion ever!
    Matt_L, Mar 2024
    Our teenage girls declared this the “best excursion EVER!” We saw schools of fish and beautiful coral in crystal clear waters at one stop, and quite literally swam with sea turtles at another stop. Brian was great! He gave suggestions and recommendations, but also left the time at each stop up to us to enjoy our vacation. His knowledge of the islands was very impressive for a former attorney from Chicago. Beer, water, and sodas were provided on the boat which was nice. It was great to have this excursion all to ourselves.! Highly recommended.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    When our teen group gives us high reviews, we are extremely excited! Captain Bryan is one of our favorites (they all are)! We hope to SEA you again in the near future!
    1st time Snorkeler
    Meddy_S, Mar 2024
    Snorkeling at Maho bay was amazing. The whole trip was great especially Captain Mike. This was the first time I snorkeled and I was scared at first but, once I got in the water it was so peaceful. I think I will do it again.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    We love our new snorkellers and are happy that you enjoyed our peaceful waters! We'd love to show you more adventures next time you are here!
    Best day ever

    Captain Bryan promised a great time for our family of four (2 adults/2 kids ages 8 and 10), and he certainly delivered! He helped us choose an itinerary, gave us realistic expectations, and made excellent recommendations (it helps that he really listened to us to see what we were trying to get out of this trip). Never felt rushed or stressed, but he kept us on time to get the most out of our experience. We will definitely return and would recommend this adventure to anyone!
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Captain Bryan is truly a great Captain! With safety as his number one priority, he certainly makes fun on the water the second priority and we are glad he showed you our best of the islands!

    We had an amazing time in the Aquarius with Brian! He took us to 2 perfect spots for snorkeling. We saw lots of turtles. Brian knew exactly where to go and was very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend!
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    We are always happy when our guests enjoy the waters we call home (and sometimes forget how lucky we are), we hope you'll Bryan and Seas the Day Charters again!

    Bryan was terrific…. He made it a really fun day. Knowledgeable and personable he made sure everyone had fun. Snorkeling at Lovango is a must do !
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    We love Lovango; always great sea life there! We hope you’ll join us again!
    Unforgettable
    Sara_K, Dec 2023
    We had a wonderful time with Bryan. Spent half day on open water looking at the amazing views and snorkeling. Bring food or what you want with. Pop, water and beer provided. You get hungry snorkeling.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    We are glad you enjoyed your day with us on the water! We can also take our guests to grab some local food if they don't want to bring it aboard~we love to share not only the water but our great foods with our guests!
    Great flexibility- see and go where you want
    Rich_D, Dec 2023
    We reserved the boat for our family for the day, and enjoyed the flexibility that provided. By chance, another family member got sick that morning, and the only place that could fill the prescription was in St John, so our boat captain made St John our first stop, we got the prescription, then brought it back to the family member- then continued on our way. We enjoyed being able to snorkel when we wanted, go to any beach we wanted, or just cruise around. Great ability to see and do a lot on this tour.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    We are happy we were able to help your family member and still enjoy a fantastic day on the water! ONE LOVE is our island motto for a reason!
    The Best part of our vacation
    Regina_P, Jul 2023
    Our Captain Mike was the best! His music and knowledge of the islands were amazing. Definitely would recommend and do this every time we vacation!
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Captain Mike coming in hot with the tunes as well as the facts! So excited he was able to create the best day of your vacation! Cant wait to have you all back! All the best, Kianna

    Waste of money
    Manpreetwalia_W, Mar 2023
    Hello, I am just writing this email to inform you of the experience that I had with your boat charter service. my family and I went on a charter on Sunday, March 12th, 2023. The captain of the boat was very rude. he was rushing us everywhere we would go and he would only want to take us to two spots to go sightseeing. After I told him that I wanted to go to more spots, he got very, very rude. He told us he did not have enough time for that. He also charged us for 21 gallons of fuel, which I do not think that we used. He did not show me the beginning amount of fuel, but yet he tried to show me the ending amount. We had brought five towels on board when we were leaving, he only gave us back two, one was a used one that he had. He took our towels. On the way back from the trip, he told us that he was going to be racing the ferry. So he was traveling at very high speeds. He put our lives in danger. I am not happy at all with the service.
    Response from Host, Mar 2023
    Good Day Manpreet Walia, we regret that you did not enjoy your charter with us on 3/12. A half day trip is typically two stops in the USVI; one to snorkel and one beach stop. As you know, you told Captain Vale that you did not want to snorkel, just sight see. This is reflected in your fuel bill; driving for a full four hours vs. stopping to snorkel or visit a beach. While we do not believe our Captain was being rude, when he told you we could not go to the British Virgin Islands, Lime Out on St John AND Water Island in four hours, you did get quite upset with him. Our Captains are very safety conscientious and try to balance the guests requests (in your case "to see any many things as we can without getting in the water.") and safety of our guests. Our apologies if in attempt to get you to multiple sites, you felt he was going too fast. Please note that he did tell you we need a full day, passports, paperwork to go to BVI and that Lime Out is about 45 minutes each way from Red Hook and that Water Island is roughly 25-30 minutes each way from Red Hook. He did encourage you to book an additional day to take in one or more of the stops you requested. Concerning towels, he did not "take your towels". Guests leave towels in the boat nearly daily. If you'd like to come by the office and identify your towels, we are happy to give them to you. Perhaps next time, you could book a full day and we can enjoy Water Island, Lime Out or the BVI's.
    Fun day with family away from the crowds
