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.
  • For BVI trips, valid passports and any other required travel documents.

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

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.

Captain Ben was great, he took us to an amazing snorkeling spot. His local knowledge was very helpful. The boat was everything we could ask for.

Best day ever in the BVIs! We absolutely loved Chris - he was fun, energetic and played the best music! We went every where we wanted and even found a new great snorkel spot. Chris was so informative and we loved spending the day with him. This was the perfect trip for our children and 70 year old parents. Thank you so much! Memories for a lifetime and we can’t wait to come back!
