OCEAN SURFARI SNORKEL ADVENTURE
Leave from picture perfect Red Hook Harbor on St. Thomas and cruise to the USVI’s best spots for snorkeling aboard the island’s newest snorkel boat, Ocean Surfari’s 47 foot Reef Surfari. Our new boat is fast, safe and provides the perfect transport to the area’s clearest, most exciting waters for snorkeling. She is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of shade aboard.
The Reef Surfari Power Catamaran has a refreshment bar stocked with beer, soda, water, rum punch, and painkillers for your post snorkel adventure. She comfortably holds 49 passengers and so is perfect for groups, or individuals wanting to find the best snorkeling in the USVI. A 3.5 hour excursion with our highly experienced Captains and Crew will get you over an hour and a half of facetime with the most beautiful tropical fish, breathtaking live coral reefs and an occasional peek into the Caribbean pirate history that is the USVI.

CRUISE SHIP FISHING CHARTER RATES
Ocean Surfari Fishing Charters is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service to all of our guests, including our cruise ship visitors. While visiting St Thomas on a cruise ship, choose Ocean Surfari for your fishing adventure.
Ocean Surfari is located on the East end of St Thomas in a town called Red Hook at American Yacht Harbor Marina. We chose this marina due to the close proximity to the best fishing grounds, both north and south of the islands.
Our cruise ship guests take a taxi from the cruise ship port in Charlotte Amalie to our dock at American Yacht Harbor Marina in Red Hook. This allows more fishing time in more productive waters than vessels picking up near the cruise ship dock. We recommend East End Taxi (340) 775-6974
4 Hour Trips
$699
- 9am-1pm or 1pm-5pm
- Allow 30 minutes for the taxi ride to and from the cruise ship dock.
- Up to 6 Passengers max.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A: Several restaurants will cook your catch here on island. We will fillet whatever you would like to eat and you can have it prepared here on island.
A: We do not have any age restrictions for our guests. Children of any age are welcome but we do suggest inshore fishing for young kids as the seas are calmer and usually more action. In general 5 years and older do very well.
A: It is VERY rare that one of Ocean Surfari’s boats completely strike out. I know of only two occasions in the last 8 years when this has happened and both trips were targeting blue marlin exclusively. As long as guests are willing to listen to our advise regarding best fishing options, we will make sure everyone catches at least one fish and usually much more.
