As one reviewer noted on January 16, 2025:

Amazing sailing, fabulous boat, and outstanding crew! - We took the full day sail of the USVI on the Blue Dream and it was incredible. The 54-foot sloop has a roomy shaded cockpit, fun bean bag seating on the bow for the more adventurous sunbathers, and a convenient swim deck at the stern for easy on and off to the dingy or swimming/snorkeling. The boat Captains Tommy and Therese were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and experienced skippers who made the sail fun while ensuring our safety. They even let us take the helm as the boat cruised along at 7 knots between St John and St Thomas!

Indoor Adventures Await

If you’re in the mood for something a bit more adventurous, why not rent a powerboat for a day of exploration? The Sonic Charters Powerboat is available for a full day on April 26th, offering a thrilling way to experience the islands despite the rain. With a top-of-the-line sound system and a cooler stocked with ice and water, you can set sail with your favorite tunes and a refreshing drink in hand. The flexibility of this private charter allows you to tailor your itinerary, ensuring a day filled with excitement and discovery. A recent review from March 27, 2025, captures the essence of this experience:

Wonderful Day Trip - A wonderful day tour of St John island. Our captain, Kevin, was the perfect host. He educated us in the history of the island. Snorkeling was terrific.
