we will be there in april with the relatives and want to show them the islands while enjoying the trip.....would rather power but if sail is the way to go help me here tell me why
want top of the line but not break the bank
the guests are used to the finest...someone here recommended a boat that was high end for day trips around but i lost the link
also would like to try for something less than 200 a person
any help would be great
day trip/sunset either way is great
i just found the link it is

350a person and no details of the service
i am going to try something else...there must be something great out there for less but still elegant
Ginger,
I think we talked about this earlier. Ocean Runner in Cruz Bay has top of the line power boats, of various lengths. The biggger the boat the more it costs. They don't do yachts and you don't need one. We rented a 26' boat with captian for $350 (I tipped him $100) this was the cost for the boat and captian, not per person. I think a better intenirary would be St. John and some of the BVIs.(take passports) Have lunch at the Willie T, and stop for a cocktail on the way back at Foxy's. Your guests will be impressed. Ask if Shay is available, but all of their people are good. If you really want to impress them have Shay prepare that evenings meal(if you are staying at a villa on STJ)

thanks that sounds a little small for six people but i will check it out....
how far is it to bvi's i thought it was a long trip there ...we would rather be local in st john to enjoy the beaches and scenery if that is the case
thanks
They have boats bigger than 26'. But you really don't need much more that this. Picture two in the stern, two sitting in front of the bridge, two in the bow. Call and talk with them. When a boat is in motion (even a big one like the ferry) you don't want to walk around a lot. There are lots of cool bays/ beaches/cays on the North shore of STJ. (3 minutes between them.) The BVIs are closer and much more interesting to cruise around than STT in my opinion. 45 minutes from STJ to the Baths, (doesn't include checking in w/ customs in BVI...20 minutes) Not to be missed. From the baths to the Willie T 15 minutes. Willie T to Foxy's 35 minutes? Foxy's to Cruz Bay 20-30 minutes. (You may want to cruise around the islands in between. (Lovango, Thatch etc.
