Can we finish with a sunset cruise?

Lunch isn’t included. You’re welcome to bring food and drinks (there’s an ice chest on board), or email info@caribbeanseaadventures.com to ask about having your charter catered.
We’ve never snorkeled. Is that OK?
Yes. Snorkel gear, a lesson and a guided tour are included, and a guide will be in the water with you. We’re happy to assist guests with physical limitations to the best of our ability.
What is the cancellation policy for private charters?
Cancel 48 hours or more before your charter for a 100% refund. Cancellations within 48 hours aren’t refundable, and no-shows are billed in full. If we cancel for weather, we’ll do everything we can to reschedule; if that doesn’t work, you get a full refund.
Our group is bigger than one boat. Can you help?
Yes. We can put more than one of our six boats on the water together. Call (340) 773-2628 to arrange a multi-boat departure.
