We just came back from a trip with Captain Bob. We hit the best snorkeling places we have ever been to. Aside from the extremely nice and clean boat the best part of the trip was Bob's knowledge of the seas and the Islands. Bob has been boating in these waters for almost 30 years. He knows all the History... More

We were able to visit places we haven't been before, avoided the worst... More

Captain Bob gave us a great tour around the island of St. John. We had a child, age six, on board and Bob could not have made his experience more fun or exciting. We found quiet waters for our snorkeling adventures, looked and found turtles to visit and enjoy....and we learned the names of bays where we could swim around... More
