Step aboard to 36' Aquila luxury power catamaran designed for guests who want a comfortable and elevated way to explore the US Virgin Islands. With air conditioning, a shaded interior, spacious seating, and an onboard restroom, it's perfect for families, couples, and small groups seeking a private day on the water.

Most half-day charters focus on the North Shore of St. John, where you'll snorkel with sea turtles at Maho Bay, explore Virgin Islands National Park, visit beaches like Cinnamon Bay and Scott Beach, and finish the day at Christmas Cove with pizza from Pizza Pi.

Full-day charters allow more time for additional snorkeling, beach hopping, lunch at Lovango Cay, or a trip to Lime Out on St. John.

Your crew handles the drinks, snacks, snorkel gear, and logistics so you can focus on enjoying the islands. Whether you're swimming with sea turtles, relaxing in a quiet cove, or cruising to beautiful beaches, Bonus Time makes it easy to experience the best of St Thomas and St John.

    Scott Bay Beach

    Scott Bay Beach is one of St. John’s best-kept secrets and a favorite stop on many of our charters. Accessible only by boat, this quiet stretch of shoreline offers crystal-clear water, excellent snorkeling, and a level of seclusion that’s hard to find elsewhere in the Virgin Islands. While the North Shore beaches attract most of the crowds, Scott Bay remains a true hidden gem where guests can swim, float, and relax in a peaceful setting surrounded by untouched natural beauty.
