Hello,

We are in our early thirties and will be on St John for our Honeymoon on the week of May 23rd. We are interested in chartering a boat for the day and would like to see if anybody is interested in sharing the cost. We do not have a set intinerary yet but would like to visit differant islands to include snorkling stops and beach bars.

Hi. We will be there from May 25 - June 1 and already have a charter reserved for May 28 with Palm Tree and are looking for 2 more. We are two couples celebrating my and my friend's 40th birthday. We are looking to do the same things as you. Let me know if you have any interest! We were considering switching to a non-private charter as it is less expensive but if we find another couple, the private seems the way to go!

That is a bummer, Kristen! Oh well, there will be other times!! It sounds like you all have a custom made charter for Kwtengine to join you all! Hope it works out!

SO, we are goiong to have to coordinate our dates a little better!! I would give up the meet at Babe's for a Palm Tree Charter with you guys!

The name didn't ring a bell at first but I went back and checked my old messages and Kwtengine and I did converse about a month ago. Think they are looking for a charter that provides refreshments etc. If that has changed Kwtengine and you might reconsider Palm Tree, let me know

What a great idea Bert- DFW gathering on-island!! We need to work on that!

After looking around I guess most of the private charters dont provide anything except the boat? I dont mind bringing stuff, I just know I'm going to be relaxed and lazy. Is it a waste to go to The Baths with the private charter, it seems like it eats up alot of time?

That is my dilemma. We are seriously considering bad Kitty because it's a faster boat so we can see both the Baths and Jost. BK provides a continental breakfast and drinks all day. But you still have to buy your lunch. There are pros and cons to each. I think if it ends up being just our group we will do Bad Kitty. if we find another couple to share the private charter, we'll probably go that route. But will have to find out exactly how much time we'd get at each stop before making the final itinerary call.

If it helps, we went to the Baths with Palm Tree Charters a few years ago. We had lots of time at the Baths- climbed all the way through and back, then went to lunch at Marina Key, and still had time for a stop at Sandy Spit and a few Painkillers at Soggy Dollar on Jost! I was amazed at how fast he got us around and how much time we had. I never felt rushed.

We usually bring a few drinks with us (sodas, water) in the morning- I think Captain John has a cooler on board but can't remember. There is no shortage of beach bars everywhere to get more, ad we always have lunch on one of the islands or the Willy T. Never thirsty or hungry!

Anyone check www.motoryachtcinnamonbay.com ?
Their charters that I've gone on they supplied snacks, sodas & beer.
Wonderful vessel, great folks, and hopefully big enough for you all to fit!
Then again you definately can't go wrong with Palm Tree Charters.
Smiles-
MJ
