Rumbaba sailing and snorkeling from St. Thomas

Under sail, at anchor for a swim, then back aboard for something to eat: Rumbaba is known for sailing-and-snorkeling outings from Red Hook on St. Thomas.

Check before planning: Confirm that Rumbaba is accepting reservations and ask which full-day, half-day or private sail is currently offered. Departure times, the yacht and menus have not been reconfirmed.

Choose the sail that suits you

A longer outing leaves more time for sailing, swimming and lunch. A shorter trip may suit visitors working around a ferry or cruise-ship schedule. Give the crew your actual return deadline before reserving.

Discuss whether you want more time under sail or more time snorkeling. Stops depend on wind and sea conditions, so avoid planning around a guaranteed reef or wildlife sighting.

Food and other inclusions

Ask for the menu attached to your trip and confirm dietary needs in advance. Check which drinks, snorkel equipment and meals are included, along with gratuity and any other extras. Older sample menus and prices should not be treated as a current package.

What to bring

  • Swimwear, a towel, hat, sunglasses and a sun shirt.
  • Mineral sunscreen suitable for the USVI and a small dry bag.
  • A light layer for the sail home.
  • Your booking confirmation and any food agreed with the crew.

Booking questions

Rumbaba publishes +1 340-690-1659 as its business contact. Confirm the current meeting point before travelling to Red Hook.

We had a perfect half-day private sail with Captain Jon and Christina, the Rumbada crew, yesterday. Communication and setup was easy despite our last-minute request, and everything ran smoothly from the minute Jon met us at the dock gate. We had very strong winds on the way out to St John, and they definitely had to do some work to get us across, but having Caneel Bay to ourselves for a private snorkel was well worth it! Saw turtle, southern rays, spotted Eagle ray, giant barracuda and a million beautiful tropical fish. Christina and Jon are great hosts, and bartenders. Ask to hear St Thomas (This Little Rock)! Highly recommend you seek out Rumbada if you are out near Red Hook. It was a beautiful sail.
