Empire March private charters in the USVI and BVI

More snorkeling, a beach-bar stop or lunch with your feet near the water? Tell Empire March what sounds like a good day and plan your private trip around it. USVI outings and longer BVI adventures offer different ways to explore.

What is the day like?

The captain helps choose swimming, snorkeling and island stops to suit the weather and your group. A BVI route needs border clearance and more travel time, so choose it before booking rather than adding it halfway through a local day.

Included and extra

Captain, adult snorkeling gear, swim noodles, an iced cooler, drinking water, Bluetooth audio and a freshwater rinse are provided. Bring your preferred drinks and snacks. Fuel is charged separately by use; meals ashore, gratuity and BVI charges are extra. Check Booking options for your departure’s current total.

Where to meet

St. Thomas departures use Oasis Cove Marina. St. John pickup is at the National Park Dock finger pier in Cruz Bay. Resort beach pickups are not offered. Cruise visitors should allow time for the taxi journey and return.

What to bring

  • Swimwear, towels, hats and non-spray mineral sunscreen.
  • Snacks and drinks in non-glass containers.
  • For BVI trips: passports, required documents and the customs payment in cash.

Booking questions

Use Booking options for current prices and availability. Check the departure point, inclusions and final price before paying. Bookings are handled by the provider. For help after booking, use the contact details in your confirmation.

Guest reviews of the charter company

Sean was an amazing captain and gave us the perfect boat day!!! He was incredibly knowledgeable about St. John and the best snorkeling spots, and took us on the perfect route to explore and see all the best wildlife the USVI has to offer. We got to see sea turtles, squid, a stingray, barracudas, jellyfish, and so many more tropical fish. At the end we even got to sneak in a little visit with a nurse shark and a few tarpon. Highly recommend Sean— if we ever get lucky enough to return to the island, he’ll be who we call to explore more! 🛥️🤿🏝️

We had a fantastic half-day trip with Empire Charters! Captain Sean was incredibly kind, easygoing, and made the whole experience feel relaxed from start to finish. We had four teenagers with us, and he picked great stops that kept everyone entertained. The mix of sightseeing and snorkeling was perfect, and we never felt rushed.

The price was very fair for everything we got, and even the logistics were easy—finding the marina and parking was simple, which made for a stress-free start to the day.

If you’re looking for a fun, laid-back day on the water in St. Thomas with a captain who genuinely wants everyone to have a great time, I highly recommend Empire Charters and Captain Sean. We’d absolutely book with them again.
