Wonderful experience - We did a private charter on the Hydra with Brayson as our captain, and it was perfect! Brayson was an excellent captain who maneuvered us expertly through waves and around squalls. He was also very accommodating when my teens changed their minds about what they wanted to do. We enjoyed the day very much! At the end of the trip I asked our group of six what was the best part, and the private charter day came out the winner. Highly recommend!

1/2 Day Snorkeling Charter - My daughter and I had an unforgettable snorkeling trip! We got to swim alongside sea turtles, rays, and so many colorful fish - it truly felt like we were in a nature documentary. The water at Turtle Cove and Honeymoon beach was crystal clear. Both stops offered something new and exciting! Captain Rusty was the best! He was funny, knowledgeable and passionate about the islands. This was one of the highlights of our vacation, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure on (and under!) the water. St. Thomas is our favorite vacation destination and Seas the Day is the only way to go!

Great snorkeling and an awesome Captain - Captain Rusty did an awesome job with everyone on his boat. He put everyone on the trip as his priority and had a lot of great information about the places we explored and the snorkeling was great in both places. We saw turtles and a 4ft barracuda that was curious lol. Will do it again with them. Thank you for the great experience

Emeralds of the Sea - Captain Wallens was very informative and made every person on board feel safe, while also providing a relaxing experience on the water! Our first stop was Maho Bay and we were lucky enough to see some very large sea turtles. Then we jetted off to Carvel Rock where Captain Wallens informed us that sailors would have to unload their ammo (cannons) before entering the harbors. Our last stop was Congo Cay and had a fabulous time snorkeling!

bait and switch - They sent me an email the day before that they are switching to a boat with almost no canopy, no catamaran, and ten feet shorter. I could not reach them by phone. There are other reviews like this where they are overbooking and making you take a smaller craft with no shade. TripAdvisor thankfully gave me a refund even though it was under the 24-hour period. This was the highlight of my yearly family trip, and these people ruined it. Seven hours on water means you need a canopy, or you will be painfully red.

Beware - tour company may pull a bait and switch on the boat you actually get regardless of your reservation. - The tour company called the day before the reservation to say that the power catamaran was not available and we would only be able to take a sailing catamaran that was significantly smaller. There was no other available option given we had less than 24 hour notice and they would not give us a discount. The captain of the sailing catamaran was terrific and the boat was nice but we were definitely limited in what we could do with the day as a result which was why I specifically booked a power vessel as opposed to a sailing vessel. Beware if you book through Seas the Day via Viator or TripAdvisor as they didn’t think twice about totally uprooting our plan at the last minute.
