Indecision? on boat trip to take

C Urchin · Post by **C Urchin** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:45 pm

I can't figure out what to do. . .

There will be 4 of us. We would like to go to The Baths, Willy-T for lunch, snorkel the Indians and then go to Soggy Dollar or Foxy's. . .

New Horizons II - goes to The Baths, Guana Island for snorkeling, Marina Cay for lunch, Soggy Dollar Bar.

Palm Tree Charters - we can decide where to go

Ocean Runner Power Boats - we can go where we want to go on that also. ..

We will be staying on STT so New Horizons is right down the road and Ocean Runner and Palm Tree are both in STJ but Palm Tree would come pick us up in STT. . .

We've always done Nauti Nymph with no captain but I would like to relax and drink myself so would prefer having someone else do all the work.

Any comments? And Thanks!

Thanks
C Urchin

I vote for Palm Tree Charters. We've gone out with Captain John twice and will be with him again at the end of this month. (So excited to type that!) He has a great boat and is a knowledgable captain. Kinda makes you feel like you've known his all your life. Being able to pick and choose where you want to go is definitely a good thing.

Everyone has their favorite, so you'll get a lot of good advice. Have a great trip!

We go with Palm Tree Charters as well. NHII is fine, but the boat can be packed and I felt rushed.

Cheers, RickG

I agree with the rec for Palm Tree. We had a wonderful day with Capt john. He is a great guy and you will have a perfect day!

I am going to third Capt John and palm tree charters. Absolutely nothing against the others you mentioned but we just had a wonderful experience with him on Saturday and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

How about Stu?

Stu lives on STT, rents the boat, and Captn's it for you. You can go where ever you want. You bring your own food/drink just like you were on your own. He is SUPER and provides you with a day on the water without the extra touristy stuff (he will provide you with the touristy stuff if you want it!)

Let me know if you would like his #.

I go out with John at Palm Tree Charters several times a year. He's awesome.

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like Palm Tree is a big hit!

I thought about Stu, didn't know if he was still around. I remember he used to offer this awhile back just b/c he like to be out on the water. . . I'd love his #.

Have you considered the Scubadu? With just the 4 of you - you guys would have a blast with Captain Joe. You can go the BVIs, etc. whatever you want. He's very flexible - pick you up in STT or STJ, etc.

Our first sail trip we took the New Horizons II. It was a great way to see so much in just one daysail, however it can be "congested". We had about 16 people on board and we all had to sit side-by-side. There was an area on one end of the boat where you can lay on the netting. Only a few people could though at a time.

I prefer the smaller "intimidate" sails. Its more money, but you get what you pay for!! Check it out www.sailvi.com. Joe's awesome.
