Boat, Beach, Repeat: Your Guide to the Perfect Party Boat Day
Your Private Guide to Beach Bars, Blue Water & Party Boats in St. Thomas
Looking for a party boat in St. Thomas? A private charter gives your group the freedom to skip the crowded tour boat and create a day around what you actually want to do—beach-bar hopping, snorkeling, swimming, watersports or simply cruising the Virgin Islands with your favorite people.
Whether you’re planning a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, family celebration or a day out with friends, here’s how to make it a great one.
Choose the Right Party Boat for Your Group
Start with your group size and the kind of experience you want.
Smaller private powerboats are great for groups that want to explore beaches, snorkeling spots and beach bars throughout St. Thomas and St. John. Larger groups may want more space, shade, onboard bathrooms and room to socialize.
Planning something big? Sabrage, our 63-foot Cooper Catamaran, can accommodate up to 110 guests for parties, weddings, corporate outings and other large-group events.
Build Your Perfect St. Thomas Boat Day
The best part of booking a private St. Thomas party boat is flexibility. Instead of following a preset tour, build the day around your group.
Beach-bar hopping: Cruise between waterfront bars and restaurants and enjoy the islands without worrying about driving.
Snorkeling & beaches: Mix the party with swimming, snorkeling and some of the beautiful bays around St. Thomas and St. John.
Watersports: Add more adventure with watersports fun, like kiteboarding, diving snorkeling, paddleboarding or other activities available for your charter.
A little of everything: Start with snorkeling, stop at a beach, grab lunch or drinks and spend the afternoon cruising. You don’t have to pick just one experience.
Want to Take the Party to the BVI?
Your private charter can also take you beyond the USVI.
A boat charter from St. Thomas to the BVI can include destinations such as Jost Van Dyke, White Bay, Norman Island or Virgin Gorda.
BVI trips require additional travel time, passports and customs/entry procedures, so don’t try to pack every island into one day. Tell your captain what matters most and let them help build a realistic itinerary.
Don’t Over-Plan It
One of the biggest advantages of a private charter is being able to change the pace.
Choose a few must-do experiences and leave some flexibility for weather, sea conditions—or discovering a beach or bar your group doesn’t want to leave.
Your captain knows the islands and can help turn your wish list into a day that actually works.
What Should You Bring?
Bring non-aerosol sunscreen, towels, sunglasses, photo ID, a camera or phone, and cash or a card for stops and gratuity. If you’re heading into the BVI, you’ll also need your passport.
Food, drinks, snorkeling equipment and other amenities vary by boat, so check what’s included before your trip.
