More Infoour boat
Local Mocean Charters' 35 foot Intrepid, Salt & Pepper, is sleek, roomy, comfortable, and can easily accommodate up to 12 passengers without feeling crowded. This center console has a large, wide back seat, and two large sun seats on the bow- that with the touch of a button - turn into lounge chairs. There are plenty of cup holders and great JL Audio speakers strategically placed around the boat, with a Bluetooth phone hook-up. Our personal favorite part of the boat is the dive door, which makes getting on and off the boat a breeze, especially with snorkel gear on! We provide snorkel gear and noodle floats for your comfort.
our captains
Our main man, Captain Tony, was born and raised in the Virgin Islands. He grew up on Water Island - a tiny island off of St. Thomas - and took a boat to school every day. After earning his college degree in Business Management he decided his true passion was to be on the water everyday, and got his U.S. Coast Guard 100 ton captains license. His lifelong knowledge of cruising the waters of the beautiful U.S. and British Virgin Islands makes him the perfect guide for your trip.
destinations
The most amazing places to visit in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands are only accessible by boat. Local Mocean Charters can show you the secrets hidden among caves, beach bars and reefs, while avoiding the crowds or joining the party. If your perfect day includes a little adventure, a little relaxing, or a little of both, just ask us for recommendations based on your ideal, customized day in paradise.
