Enjoy the stunning late afternoon light on our Golden Hours Snorkel & Sunset Cruise. This 2 to 3-hour adventure (timing varies based on sunset) begins at 4:00 PM and takes you to some of the best sites in the Virgin Islands, ending with a breathtaking sunset on the water.

Start with a snorkel stop at Maho Bay or Scott Bay Beach, where you’ll have the chance to swim alongside sea turtles. Then, depending on the time of year, we’ll cruise over to Christmas Cove, where you can grab a bite from the famous floating pizzeria, Pizza Pi.

Along the way, our experienced captains will share insights about the islands and ensure you’re in the perfect spot to take in the sunset. Our destinations may vary with the seasons and conditions to provide the best experience.

Bring your favorite drinks, kick back, and watch the sky shift into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and gold. Whether snorkeling, relaxing on deck, or enjoying a pizza, this cruise is the perfect way to wind down the day in paradise.

Golden Hours Snorkel and Sunset Cruise (2 - 3 Hours)

Our most popular itinerary for a Golden Hours charter in the USVI includes stops at:

1. Maho Bay for snorkeling with sea turtles.
2. Cruising along the north shore of St. John in Virgin Islands National Park.
3. Potential beach or snorkel stops at Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Caneel Bay, Honeymoon Beach, or Waterlemon Cay on St. John.
4. Sunset in Christmas Cove for more snorkeling and a potential stop at Pizza Pi, the Caribbean's most famous floating pizzeria.

The Golden Hours Snorkel & Sunset Cruise is about experiencing the Virgin Islands at the most beautiful time of day. As the crowds thin out and the sun starts to dip, the water shines golden, creating the perfect backdrop for snorkeling, sightseeing, and simply relaxing on the boat. The timing of this trip ensures you get the best of both worlds—an adventure in the water followed by a front-row seat to one of the most stunning sunsets in the Caribbean.

What sets this charter apart is the flexibility to visit the best spots based on the time of year and conditions. Whether swimming with sea turtles, exploring a quiet beach, or grabbing a slice from a floating pizzeria, each trip is customized to make the most of the golden hour light and calm waters.

Unlike crowded group tours, this is a private or small-group experience, giving you plenty of space to relax and enjoy the scenery. You can bring your favorite drinks, enjoy good company, and soak up the laid-back island vibe without feeling rushed.

As the day winds down, the boat becomes your floating sunset lounge. With the sky painted orange, pink, and purple, you’ll understand why this time of day is so magical in the Virgin Islands. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or want to make the most of your vacation, this cruise offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
