Princess St Thomas Excursion question

[kellanrevere]

Has anyone been on either of these and what is the difference other than the first seems to make more stops and lunch is served "at water's edge" rather than on board.I am also a little concerned with the possibility of a schooner rather than a catamaran on the first one. Thanks in advance for any advice . :)

Full Day Catamaran Sail & Snorkel With Lunch

Experience a relaxing day onboard a classic catamaran or schooner as you sail to Turtle Cove, off Buck Island, and Honeymoon Beach.

Board your vessel at the pier and sail for approximately one hour to deserted Buck Island. Once at anchor in Turtle Cove, your friendly crew will provide snorkeling equipment including snorkel vest, instruction and safety tips. Swim, snorkel, and explore fantastic coral formations, and see the colorful tropical fish and serene turtles. Back on board, beverages, chips and salsa will be served with pleasant music, as you continue your sail to unspoiled Water Island's Honeymoon Beach, only accessible by boat. Enjoy a walk on the soft sand, swim, or do more snorkeling. A freshly prepared Caribbean barbecue lunch will be served at the water's edge. Rum drinks, beers, sodas and water are available. Cruise through St.Thomas Harbor and past the bustling waterfront on your motorized return to the pier.

 

Full Day Catamaran Sail To St. John With Lunch

Take this exclusive sail-away tour to the enchanting island of St. John.

Step aboard a sailing catamaran for your two-hour sail to the pristine, palm fringed beaches of St. John, safe guarded by the U.S. National Park Service. Glide through Current Cut on the eastern end of St. Thomas, with your destination beckoning in the distance. At the special anchoring location across Pillsbury Sound, you will have approximately two hours to sunbathe, beach comb, swim, snorkel, or just relax onboard the catamaran or under a swaying palm on the beach. This idyllic setting is the perfect backdrop for your elaborate Caribbean-style buffet luncheon, served onboard. Champagne and a complimentary bar are available after snorkeling and nonalcoholic beverages are available throughout the fun-filled excursion.

 

 

Thought I would get better responses now that I know where I am going, :o

Attempted to take the Full Day Sail last December and it was cancelled as we were waiting on the pier to be picked up and transported to the sailboat. I was sooooo disappointed, next time I'll book a private tour with a local captain.

How disappointing ... It's bad enough being canceled on but to have it happen when you are that close :(

 

Which full day sail ?? They are both full day but apparently with different companies. We took the 1/2 day to St John a couple of years ago and had a blast but descriptions of the one listed to St John don't sound familiar. Our friend Laura took the one not listed as St John.
