Offered in: English

Depart on your private island‑hopping adventure with Bonus Time Charters aboard one of our 29' or 32' Power Catamaran and explore the very best of St. John and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

Your charter is fully customizable, but most half‑day trips focus on the scenic North Shore—stops like Maho Bay for sea turtles, the quiet sands of Scott Beach, and favorite beaches like Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, and Honeymoon Beach. You’ll snorkel crystal-clear waters, soak up the views, and finish with a stop at Christmas Cove for fresh pizza from Pizza Pi, the famous floating pizzeria.

If you’ve got more time, a full-day charter lets you explore even more. Cruise the South Shore to spots like Salt Pond Bay, Little Lameshur, and Pelican Rock, or head all the way out to Lime Out in Coral Bay, a one-of-a-kind floating taco bar. You’ll have time to snorkel at Waterlemon Cay, check out quiet coves, and see the whole island from the water.
