Private boat charters from St. John
Snorkel first, stop for lunch on the water, then find another bay for a swim. Ocean Runner lets you build that kind of day with your own captain, choosing a boat to suit your group and the places you want to visit.
Choose your island-hopping day
- USVI: explore around St. John, with possible stops such as Christmas Cove, Lovango or Coral Bay. Ask about Pizza Pi or Lime Out if lunch afloat is on your wish list.
- BVI: discuss a route to Jost Van Dyke or other British Virgin Islands destinations before booking. Border clearance takes time, so avoid trying to squeeze everything into one day.
- Self-drive: separate rentals are available for approved, experienced boaters. Their cruising limits differ from captained trips.
What is included?
Captained boats provide snorkel gear and chilled drinks. Boat size, shade and facilities vary. Fuel is extra on center-console charters; luxury-yacht packages differ. Meals, gratuity and international charges may be additional. Use Booking options for current boats, prices and availability.
What to bring
- Swimwear, a towel, hat, sun shirt and non-spray mineral sunscreen.
- A dry bag and payment for lunch and extras. No glass bottles.

Check your pickup location and tell Ocean Runner about children’s gear or boarding needs beforehand.
