Bad Dog: a sporty private sail from St. John

Close to the water, wind in your hair and a proper sailing adventure: Bad Dog is Salty Dog’s simple, budget-minded catamaran option for small groups who enjoy the ride as much as the destination.

What to expect

The almost-30-foot boat takes up to six guests and departs from the Westin beach on St. John. Trips stay in USVI waters. Weather-dependent possibilities include Lovango or Christmas Cove; Lime Out and the BVI are outside this boat’s advertised itinerary.

Know the comforts before booking: Bad Dog has no bathroom, and the fleet page warns of no shade. It requires agility for beach boarding and getting around the boat. Discuss whether that suits everyone in your group.

What is provided?

Captain and a cooler with ice are included. Bring your own snorkeling equipment, food and drinks. Gratuity is added to private bookings. Phone for current availability and the complete total.

What to bring

  • Swimwear, towels, hats and sun shirts.
  • Non-spray mineral sunscreen suitable for the USVI.
  • Pre-chilled drinks, snacks and snorkel gear.
  • A waterproof pouch for your phone and valuables.

Follow your confirmation for the beach access point and boarding instructions.

Guest reviews of the charter company

Our family of 5 (mom, dad and three boys) had an excellent day on the water with Kelly and Stephen. They are both very knowledgeable about the island and took great care of us. We had a blast snorkeling, swimming, eating and cruising. The boat is beautiful and the service was amazing. I highly recommend hanging out with this crew for the day!

Had the best trip on the water with Captain Ivan on Two Thumbs Up. We traveled around the St. John’s island learned lots of history along with visiting beautiful beaches and snorkeling and seeing turtles and lunch at lime out. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Salty Dog was very easy to communicate with from start to finish.
