This was the best money I have spent on vacation!! Definitely do the whole day trip and make sure to bring lots of sunscreen. We had a group of 12 on the catamaran and our crew made sure all of our accommodations were met and more! We got to visit other beautiful islands and they took us to the best spots for snorkeling where we were able to see lots of sea life. Captain Splash and first mate Osay were absolutely outstanding and made sure we had the time of our life. Our first mate gave many tips and fun facts about the island, landmarks, and history which was very interesting, and also made sure we always had a drink in our hand and a smile on our face. I would definitely recommend booking with seas the day and will absolutely be back again!!

We went on a private tour to the Baths. Over all a super nice experience. The "stone caves" at the Baths was fun to explore and we also made a stop on the way at Cooper Island, to do some snorkeling. We brought our own snorkeling gear, but the snorkels and fins offered on the boat was good. The boat was really nice. Thumbs up for the food and drinks. We can highly recommend going with captain Swede and Lina, they made this tour fantastic, thank you! We will come BACK

I do not write many reviews, but these ladies and gents went above and beyond creating one of the best memories for our family! From the day I called Carrie to reserve, I could tell we were going to have a blast. Even with restraints created by the pandemic and limits on where they could take us, Captain Nate and Alicia were the absolute BEST and took us to some of the most remote places to snorkel, float, and simply watch our teenagers flying off the back of the boat several times in a row. Captain Nate took on some of the rougher waters like a champ, to get as to these remote spots, we couldn't even tell. Ride was smooth as silk...They greeted us with fruit plates, delicious breakfast treats, snacks throughout the day and had every single request we made ie Root Beer for my nephew and lemonade for my son and niece available to us on the boat. Just bring yourselves because they had warm beach towels always folded and ready for you when you got out of the water and snorkeling gear and floats when you jumped in. Alicia even jumped in and showed us/interacted with the water life. Service was Top Shelf! We will be back, same boat, same captain and crew next year. An absolute must if you are down in St Thomas! Thank you Sonic!

We had an absolute blast on the Sirena! Captain Splash was so great - he kept us all feeling safe and honored all our requests, including a dingy ride for some of the group and sailing the catamaran back to port! Alyssa was our first mate and she was the best - super accommodating and fun! She kept the drinks flowing all day, helped those who had a little sea sickness and even went snorkeling with us to help out and make sure everyone felt comfortable. We went snorkeling in Maho and Alyssa helped us spot several sea turtles while we were out there - such an incredible experience! The rum punch was tasty and there were plenty of snacks on board. Would highly recommend this trip!!
