Great snorkeling experience! - We really liked that it was a small group (there were only seven of us on our trip). Safe, enjoyable trip for snorkelers of various levels of experience. We saw turtles, coral, lots of fish and beautiful views of the islands. Thank you Captain Rusty!

Braysen was a fantastic... - Braysen was a fantastic captain, we enjoyed our excursion and saw many sea turtles and fish! Only thing that needs to be changed is the meeting point, needs to be near 13 restaurant or VI jet boat tours. Could not find R bar on maps and location pin showed south of virgin’s haven restaurant, which was incorrect.

Thank you a great morning of snorkelling - Had a great morning of snorkelling. Captain Rusty was brilliant and looked after us very well. We saw so many fish, turtles and even a shark. It was an excellent trip and great that we were such a small group (so not overwhelmed by large numbers of people, as other trip providers were). Thank you Lindsay for recommending Seas the Day USVI.

Perfect 4 hour trip for better snorkeling! - Brayson was a great captain! Trip was totally worth it! We got to see sea turtles, sting ray, eel and all kinds of colorful tropical fish. Size of our group was perfect and so was the time at each island. The other overcrowded boats didn't look like much fun.

Disappointed - We didn't see many fish or turtles. It was a little windy, but overall we were disappointed as compared to other islands we've snorkeled. Also, our guide didn't provide much in the way of explaining the area etc.......

The first spot was not bad but the second one was booring. - The morning of the 2/21 Snorkel, I received a text from Rusty saying the industry standard tip is 20%, and cash is king. Most snorkelers know nothing about tipping the crew or, in this case, Rusty, so they are perfect targets to be suckered into a 20% tip. However, I am a diver and have been on many dive boats where the crew works much harder than on this snorkeling trip, and I have never seen a pre 20% tip as the standard. A 20% tip is not the industry standard; it's a Rusty standard. When the tip is included before the trip, there is no reason for Rusty to work for the tip, and that is exactly what happened. Rusty drove the boat, gave the standard boat-safety information, and did little to earn his 20% tip. I watched everyone get off the boat, and everyone gave him cash. If the 20% standard tipping policy is mandatory, Seas the Day should inform customers before booking.
