otiscruiser Posted November 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) We are five pp with one 80 year old who want to do a little boat charter when we get off from Celebrity Reflection this month. What is the easiest to get to and anyone know which boat is better for elderly going into the water? Some charters say from Red Hook others say East End. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Edited November 8, 2015 by otiscruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautifulbill Posted November 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Red Hook is in the East End so the area is pretty much the same. You would take a taxi to get there at a cost of $10 or $12 per person depending where you boat berths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted November 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Here's one that leaves from one of the docks. http://www.usvisailing.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otiscruiser Posted November 8, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thank you both for your thoughts. We want a motor boat with some cover rather than a sailboat. Any good ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted November 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2015 There are a number of smallish (carry 6 passengers) motor boats that charter out of Compass Point Marina, also on the east end of St Thomas. CrewZen is one of them. You might have to do some googling, as some of the small boats don't have the $$ for advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otiscruiser Posted November 8, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thank you, called CruZen who is booked but looking for me. What a nice guy! Hope we get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted November 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Many smaller as well as larger operators are listed under St Thomas charters at the vinow site - vinow dot com You can also find great recommendations in the TripAdvisor trip reports if you search by daysails or charters in the St Thomas forum, be sure to sort by date after the search.

cruiseguyinorl Posted January 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have used Lazy Island Charters which docks at Saga Haven Marina and is only about a 10 minute ride from Havensight. Captain Jason was a friendly outgoing type and was concerned with safety as well fun. He showed us some great spots and overall was one of our better charters. His boat is a bit different in that it is a cruiser instead of a center console so there is shaded seating if needed. Hope this helps.
