Maybe one of those small cruise line yachts, like SeaDream or Seabourn?
Could this be it?

interesting. to me it looks like it is anchored in great cruz bay which seems odd.

The small cruise ships can do that; they tender people in from anchorage. Their claim to fame is to be able to visit ports that are off limits to the large cruise lines; Cruz Bay is one of SeaDream's ports of call. I looked into taking one of these cruises a few years back before realizing I would have a tough time leaving St John and the whole thing would probably end up being a very expensive way to drive myself crazy.

I know about the tendering I just thought it would be anchorhed off Cruz Bay not out in front of the Westin. But maybe I have the location all wrong. I can't see it off the Spice Cam.
Looks like they have a nice day for their visit. Good for them!

They may have chosen to anchor in calmer waters a bit more S and W of their usual spot due to the high wind and sea conditions we are experiencing.

that's a good point - I didn't realize it was at Great Cruz. Maybe they have to stay away from Cruz Bay traffic?

Here is a picture of, I think, the same boat anchored off of Cruz Bay. We saw while out on our day trip with Captain John Brandi (feb. 25th). It was pretty big and they were tendering lots of passengers to St. John that day. Glad we were on a boat trip!

From what I've read, those SeaDream cruises are really something! I'd love to go on one sometime!
