The great reroute. - The weather wasn’t the greatest as we set out. Captain Anna did great re routing us to another beach and finding some wildlife for my kids to snorkel with. First Mate Caliyah was awesome helping everyone locate wildlife and providing some interesting facts about the island. Great family experience. Top notch trip.

Sun, snorkeling, and sea turtles! - This was an incredible experience with Seas the Day!!! Captain Scott and Alicia were safe and friendly while providing an incredible experience going to places that would allow us less "traffic" from other boats. Our entire group was from the same cruise which made it that much more memorable. Getting to snorkel and see turtles and other fun fish was amazing! Thank you for a memorable excursion!

Such an amazing afternoon! - Our family had an amazing afternoon with Capt Sam and Callya!! They were so great with all of us - giving us tips on snorkeling, helping us find turtles (which we did!), and hearing the history of the beautiful island! It was an experience we will never forget! We will definitely be back and recommend anyone reading this to just go ahead and book it! Thank you ladies!!!

Fantastic time with Sammy and Kahlia - We had a fantastic time with Sammy and Kahlia on the Hydra. Sammy guided the boat with a steady hand and offered great conversation. Kahlia was great while snorkeling pointing out the cool fish and even spotting a turtle we would have missed. She made sure we were comfortable in the water and both Sammy and Kahlia were super fun with lots of info about the island. I would highly recommend them it was a great small group and so laid back we had a fantastic time!!

Family fun on St Thomas - Captain Josh & 1st Matey (Kalia) took great of our family. We would recommend the Argo & their crew for the shorter 1/2 day snorkel trip.

Loved the guides … tour was okay. - The guides were really nice. The snorkeling was okay but it felt like it was way too much time on the boat. There wasn’t an option to grab lunch at one of the beaches ( as advertised). I feel like time would have been better spent just going to one beach versus this tour.
