Overview

This full or half day private charter will offer you a great introduction to the beautiful Virgin Islands National Park. Our captains live locally and love sharing the beauty of the place they call home with visitors. Our boat, Shady Lady, is a 32' power catamaran that is the perfect boat for the waters of the USVI. She's wide and very stable and nearly 2/3 of the deck is shaded. Not to worry, though, as there is plenty of seating in the sun. We will take you on a comfortable cruise pointing out landmarks and giving you some historical context to the places you will see. We will do some snorkeling on some of the most beautiful, vibrant coral reefs you'll ever see. You will swim with turtles in crystal clear, warm water consisting of a myriad of shades of blue. There will also be plenty of time to relax and listen to our awesome sound system and sip on a cold drink. For full day charters, we can also plan a stop for lunch. Your private charter will be the best day of your vacation!

What To Expect

On your private charter with Shades of Blue Charters, you will only be with your family/friends and the captain. The boat, Island Girl, is yours for the day and you call the shots. The captain can certainly guide you in creating your day's itinerary if you would like. There are lots of things we can do, among them: snorkeling vibrant coral reefs, beach hopping from one beautiful beach to another (many of them secluded), swimming with turtles, or just floating on noodles in the beautiful warm water with a nice cold drink. If you choose the full day private charter, you will have time for a lunch stop. (The captain can help you with the various options.) Your captain will take you from place to place on your chosen itinerary all while listening to our awesome 2000 watt stereo system. By the end of your day on the water, you will have a new friend in your captain and lots of great memories of what is likely to be the best day of your vacation.
