We told Captain Jeremy we wanted to sea turtles, and he delivered. Awesome tour around the island of St. John to include snorkeling with sea turtles and along a wonderful reef on a small island off of Saint John. Super fun and the “painkillers” were very tasty. Highly recommend for anybody with kids. Thanks Captain Jeremy!

What a great day! Capt Nate and Weezy were awesome. They knew the best snorkeling spots I’ve ever seen and we have been going to USVI for 20 years. So many turtles and lots of incredible fish. The boat is very comfortable and offered plenty of shade from the hot sun. Delightful! We’ll be back!

So accommodating and helpful from beginning to end recommending spots for us to see and places to eat/drink etc. I’ve booked other charters in the VI for past trips but will only be booking with them going forward!

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!!

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!

To only give this review five stars is a really a crime. The day spent on this boat with this crew was the best days since the pandemic started for our family. The boat is wide and fast and those of us who get sea sick never even had a minute of it during 8 hours. Safely took us to the most amazing spots to snorkel. It was an absolute luxury. And a splurge but it was so worth every hard earned penny. Simply amazing.
