Maho Bay
Boat Charter

Maho Bay is one of the most popular destinations to visit on a USVI, St. Thomas charter or St. John boat charter, especially for guests hoping to snorkel with sea turtles in the USVI. Located along St. John’s beautiful North Shore, it is known for calm, clear Caribbean water and expansive seagrass beds that provide an important feeding area for green sea turtles. The protected conditions also make Maho an excellent snorkeling destination for families, first-time snorkelers and experienced swimmers alike.

There is much more to discover beneath the surface than sea turtles. Snorkelers may encounter southern stingrays gliding across the sandy bottom, tarpon, schools of tropical fish and other Caribbean marine life. For guests interested in exploring beyond the seagrass beds, the eastern and western edges of Maho Bay offer rocky shorelines, patch reefs and coral formations with additional opportunities for snorkeling and underwater exploration.

Visiting Maho Bay by private boat charter or boat rental from St. Thomas makes it easy to include this iconic St. John destination as part of a customized day on the water. Combine snorkeling at Maho Bay with additional St. John beaches, secluded coves, watersports and island hopping to create your own USVI itinerary.
