The 3 stops were nice - our day of travel the waters were a little bit turned up so we visited alternative stops south side of St. John. We had a blast just enjoying ourselves out on the water on an otherwise beautiful day. They did a great job of accommodating the two kiddos 2&4 y/o that we had on board. The kids really like the last stop on the little island with all the hermit crabs. And booking was super easy, and so responsive to our questions. Would 100% recommend Shades of Blue Charters!! read less

We swam with turtles, got up close with a hump back whale and had a great lunch at lovango Bay. I would highly recommend shades of blue. Our charter was one for the record. read less

Christmas Cove snorkeling the sunken wreck, lunch at the pizza boat, Pizza Pi. Cruised the coastline all the way to the airport. Watched a jet land…..kids loved that. They even drove the boat! A day they’ll remember for the rest of their lives! I can’t recommend this charter company enough, the owner Mike, his 3 captains (G., Aaron and Kirk) and the perfect sized catamaran for a group up to 10 people! This is our 4th or 5th time out on the Island Girl with another one coming up next week! read less

We were picked up in Cruz Bay on a beautiful power catamaran with twin 300hp Suzuki 4 stroke motors. The engines were super quiet and smooth. The boat had a Bimini cover for the entire boat to keep us shaded from the sun. Captain Aaron was delightful and accommodating. He first took us on a sight seeing tour of some of the most beautiful coves on the north side of the island. Then we went snorkeling at a few of his favorite spots that are difficult to access by land. He gave us numerous lunch options, but we ultimately decided on Sapphire Beach on St. Thomas since we had not been over there. The food was great and there were multiple options including gourmet pizza and tacos overlooking a gorgeous beach with probably the nicest view of the islands to be found. Booking the boat was also quite easy and they were very responsive answering the phone. This was our family’s favorite day in St. John getting to see the islands by private boat. Thanks so much again for the experience and look forward to seeing you guys again on our next visit. Cheers! read less

I know he didn’t make the weather but the weather was perfect! We went to St. John and explored some of the beaches and crystal blue waters. If your gonna take a tour the St. John waters is the best I have seen in my life. Aaron was east to talk with. Easy to deal with. Super chill. read less

We decided to splurge for it and it was completely worth it. Kirk was amazing so knowledgeable and a great guy all around. He made us feel at home on the boat and took us for some great snorkeling and to a great spot for lunch. We tried snorkeling the day before on our own and it did not compare to this experience at all. Hands down best day of our honeymoon so far! read less

Our first trip was with Captain 'G' and our second was with Captain Kirk. Both trips were excellent! The crew is extremely accomodating and you can easily create your own design for the day. There is an extended sun canopy for plenty of shade and sun protection on board and a great variety of music play lists. Shades of Blue is very fuel efficient and has a smooth ride even in choppy water due to its double hull design and yet there is plenty of power to move from place to place quickly. The boats low draft allows the crew to easily nose you in to the beach for a walk or swim. I can't recommend Shades of Blue high enough. We can't wait to return for our next adventure! read less

The boat was perfect even with 9 guests aboard. It was very roomy with plenty of seating and compartments for everything. It was also very clean. The boat design makes it very stable and it cuts through the waves cleanly. The highlight of the day was the dolphin activity in Maho Bay... amazing! Thanks for a great day on the water! read less
