Catamaran day trip out of St Thomas recommendation - 02/15/2014 03:26 PM
Stopping in St Thomas on a cruise March 3 8-5:30 looking for a catamaran recommendation for 8-12 people. Looking to go from St Thomas to either St John or Jost Van Dyke. Would rather have the boat to ourselves rather than a bunch of people.
Thanks
Rick

if you want your own boat, I would recommend Magic Moments out of Red Hook. Not a Cat, but a beautiful well appointed Sea Ray

Magic Moments however is not a USCG Inspected Vessel and can only carry six passengers for hire.
I would suggest looking at Scubadu a cat than can take 12.

Many of the sail boat trips (cat or monohull) have schedules which are incompatible with cruise schedules. Also, they hold more than 12, so you would either pay a premium to have the boat for your group or would need to share.
For 8-12, you might look at something like Sea More, Pirate's Penny or Stormy Petrel. You would get the whole boat and they would work with you on time and destination.
