Re: Cruz Bay options

We just returned recently from a stay at Grande Bay and you cannot beat the convenience factor! Being able to park in the garage and not have to deal with parking downtown made it so easy!! Grande Bay is super clean and I was impressed with our stay. Yes, you can hear the nighttime happenings at the...

Charter Share - 4/3-4/6

Hello fellow forum friends! Our family is looking to do a private charter on either 4/3, 4/4, 4/5 or 4/6 and we're wondering if anyone would like to group together and share the cost? We are an easy going couple (myself and husband) and we'll have our 5 year old son with us. I realize that may turn ...

Re: Excursion with kids

We did private charters to the BVIs. The only one we used that is still operating is Palm Tree Charters. Our son did great. We have taken him on boats (motor and sail) since he was a baby and I knew he would be interested in what was going on. Each trip we did a leisurely sit-down lunch stop so he ...

Re: Excursion with kids

PA Girl - did you do private charters or book an excursion? We've been with PTC before and loved it. Just curious if the excursion worked out ok with a young one. Clearly we wouldn't want something too boozy with our son in tow!

Excursion with kids

Good morning! We're finally making our way make to St. John after a long 6 years (but who's counting)! This time around we'll be on island with our 5 year old son. I'm looking into possible BVI excursions and wanted to see if anyone had recommendations based on their experience with a younger child?...

We bought US Divers Travelite sets for our trip last year. They worked great and we enjoyed the short fins. Very easy to travel with too!

Although I haven't been on Born to Rhumb, they were pretty much right with us the whole day during our charter day in late April. We took Palm Tree (small group). Anywho, Kevin's group looked like they were having a TON of fun. Plus, if you end up at the Soggy Dollar, he's an absolute ACE at the rin...

Tipsy, I feel like you and I are in the same boat my forum friend!

The next 3.5 days at work are going to be excruciating!!! How am I supposed to concentrate on anything other than forum reading and last minute packing???

I think I should have scheduled a "pre-vacation" vacation! :)
