BonusTime made our trip perfect! - We used BonusTime 3 different times over our week stay. One day for BVIs tour, one for snorkeling tour around St. John and one for private Scuba diving captain. We had three different captains and each one was GREAT! Bryan, Vic and Stephen w Gus! You won’t be disappointed. Capt Andrew, I hope we get to meet next time!

USVI boat day - We loved our private boat tour with Captain Andrew. We were incredibly impressed by his knowledge of the islands and the hidden snorkel spots around St. John—some of the most diverse sea life we’ve ever seen. We stopped at Pizza Pi for lunch, which was incredible (highly recommend the Peachy Goat!). We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this experience.

Good communication and... - Good communication and fantastic day on the water with captain Vic. Hit several good snorkeling spots and fun stop at floating pizza boat for lunch. Much better experience than going with a large tour company. Yes, it is a little more expensive, but if you can swing it you won’t be disappointed

Incredible - Superb experience, knowledgeable captain Andrew, great locations for snorkeling, information great about surrounding beaches, fancy mansions on the mountain side, PLUS the weather was fantastic. Small group made family time very interactive. We did wish that the floating restaurants were available for lunch, but completely understand due to hurricane season.

Bonus Time Charters & Captain Bryan - Go no where else. Straight here. I cannot express how impressed I was with Captain Bryan and his professionalism. To be a young man and have the level of his mariner skills along with his ability to make sure the customer is having a top notch experience is unbelievable. I would hire this man for my company just based on what I seen yesterday. He impressed me and as a small business owner, that doesn't happen too often in today's workforce. Just book with this company and ask for Captain Bryan. Then relax and have fun.

Highlight of our trip! - My husband and I had a fantastic time on a full-day charter with Bonus Time Charters. Captain Andrew was the best. His boat was clean, and we felt completely safe with him taking us around the island and surrounding cays. He tailored the day to our interests and skill level. Andrew took us to about 7 snorkel spots in the St. John area, including several spots you can’t reach by shore. He was very knowledgeable about each of the snorkel spots and told us what to look for. We saw an abundance of fish, two spotted eagle rays cruising together, a reef shark, southern stingrays, tarpon, sea turtles, and a lot of soft coral and sponges. Another highlight was visiting a floating pizza restaurant in Christmas Cove for lunch. The day with Andrew was a highlight of our trip. We would definitely book him again if we come back to St. John.
