joeohl Posted December 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2011 check out trip advisor...go to st. thomas things to do...tours there are many choices for sailing trips to St. Johns. We ended up choosing Captain Max for upcoming cruise. Prices seem to be around 140 per person with the maximum of six people on a boat for a full day ( 6.5 to7 hours) which includes open bar, gourmet lunch, and snorkel equipment.

dvan68 Posted December 11, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Which snorkel stops did you make on Highpockets? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmadvm Posted December 26, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We just used simplicity charters for a day sail to st. john. It was our favorite excursion. The first mate has a degree in marine biology so pointed out lots of interesting things we would have missed while snorkeling and they have an adorable little dog who lives on the boat.

mikeyd Posted January 23, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Which snorkel stops did you make on Highpockets? thx With High Pockets, and I suspect all day sails are similar, when we got on Kathleen asked "what do you want to do and where would you like to go?" there is no SET plan and based on the winds she offered several different options. It was like getting into a Limo and the driver asking "where to?" Along with great suggestions of possible options. We eneded up mooring off of St. Johns near a resort and had some AMAZING snorkeling. We could have moved when we liked but it was such a perfect spot we snorkeled, ate an amazing lunch, snorkeled some more and headed back. The ONLY constraint was time i.e. getting back to the Cruise Ship on time. I can't recommend High Pockets enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit8 Posted January 25, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Are these all ~$140 per person for a full day? I understand that most of these go out of Red Hook bay where taxi fare is ~$12 pp one way. I was actually hoping for something a lot cheaper that is closer to the cruiseship pier. Is there any hope of that? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that it puts you much closer to St. John - this is a HUGE advantage. The Taxi ride is kinda long too - maybe 20-30 minutes - since traffic just crawls on the island.

I love the $75 CASH per person, must book on-line requirement. Is that where you slip money into your hard drive or CD-Rom drawer lol!! That seems like a heck of a good deal!!!! Only concern for me would be getting to/from St.Johns. How often does the ferry run? How much for the ferry? You'll have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at that one too since we have a big group and they can accomodate up to 37 passengers. When is your excursion with New Horizons? Ours is the first week in April. Has anyone else sailed with them? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
