Waterlemon - by boat?
Waterlemon - by boat?
We are looking to get to Waterlemon for snorkeling when we are on St. John.
Yes, I know we could walk but for a number of reasons (laziness being top of the list and preferring to see the island by water on the way out and back is a close second) we would like to get there by boat.
Also, two of the ladies in the group aren't confident swimmers and would be more comfortable knowing there is a boat close by should they wish to cut the snorkel short. (One is really freaked about the current.)
I am not interested in captaining our own boat because with 3 former (male) boaters in the group, I fear we will have a "too many cooks in the kitchen scenario." I suspect there would be agruments about who has control.
Ideally, I would like to find a charter to run us out for a half day or so.
There may be as few as 4 adults or as many at 8, depending on who wants to come along.
I see Calypso runs a full day sail out to Waterlemon but we are really just looking for someone to run us out, snorkel a bit, and back.
Anyone know of any other operators?

Cruisin' in a dinghy is a blast - you'd have a great time going out to Waterlemon. The only thing I'd say is to hopefully have two people that feel comfortable operating the engine/steering. Facing forward with your arm backwards on the tiller does get a bit tireing after awhile. But oh so much fun!!!! Jenrale
