Lion in Da Sun: private snorkeling and island hopping

A reef stop, a beach for a swim and a lunch worth leaving the hotel for. Lion in Da Sun plans private powerboat trips from St. Thomas and St. John around the places your group wants to enjoy.

Where could you go?

For a USVI day, discuss snorkeling around St. John, Christmas Cove or a stop at Pizza Pi or Lime Out. BVI outings can focus on Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island or Virgin Gorda. Pick a manageable route with the captain; these are choices, not a promise to visit every island in one day.

Boats and inclusions

The fleet includes a Scout powerboat and a Twin Vee power catamaran, with shade, snorkeling equipment and bottled water in a cooler. Confirm the assigned boat, group capacity and pickup point for your reservation. Ask which fuel and captain charges are included; lunch, drinks ashore and international costs can be extra.

Use Booking options for current trips, prices and availability.

What to bring

  • Swimwear, towels, hats and sun protection suitable for the USVI.
  • A waterproof bag and payment for meals or extras.
  • For BVI travel: valid passports and any required entry or re-entry documents.

Discuss children’s gear and boarding or swimming needs before the day.

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

Rick was an excellent guide with fun sense of humor and vast knowledge of the the best places to visit. My family not only
Enjoyed his great customer service but loved hearing about his stories of living on the island for the last 20+ years.

We had our favorite day of the week with Captain Kyle! Captain Rick called us the day before our full day charter pick up and spent time finding out what our group were interested in. He had really good tips and suggestions after we told him our must-sees.
Captain Kyle was awesome and just what our crew of six needed. He made our day super special by taking us to places we would have never ventured to (or heard about). We had an AMAZING lobster lunch on Jost Van Dyke. Swam up to a beautiful bar on Tortola. And also hit the couple of "well-known" places we wanted to see.
Captain Kyle showed us the best time! We will definitely recommend to anyone chartering a boat from STJ/STT and will book again on our next trip.

This was our third time out with Capt. Rick on Lion In Da Sun and can’t say enough good about it!
We had the absolute day on his tour of all the waters around St John. The snorkel spots were sensational with the most colorful fish we’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to come back!
