For St. Thomas, I would take a taxi to Coki Beach ($9 pp from Havensight) and either rent snorkel equipment or use my own. Really good snorkeling there, right off the beach.

We only had a short stay in Nassau, so I booked a 2 hour trip through Blue Hole Watersports. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from the ship. He has a minimum requirement of 2 passengers. I think the maximum is 8. (My wife and I were joined by a family of 3.) Despite bad weather, he dodged around the squalls and got us to a couple great spots. It was $55 each.

 

I also considered Captain Carl's. Both were equally well recommended on Tripadvisor. $65 each.

 

Both can be found through Google searches.

In St. Thomas, we also did Coki Beach. We have our own gear, but we rented a locker (maybe $5). Locals sell/serve lunch on the beach.

 

We spent most of our time by the rocks on the right hand side of the beach. Once you get out past where most of the people are swimming/snorkeling (towards Coki Point), it gets a lot more interesting. The rocks on the left side of the beach seem to have a similar selection of wildlife.

 

On St. Martin we did other things, so I don't have any specific recommendations.
