UNFORGETTABLE DAY

PERFECT DAY
Reviewed November 2020
We had the best day on the boat with the captain and mate. Breakfast was great and the snorkeling was awesome – like everyone else says, stay close to the mate as he will point out all the wildlife. All the bays the captain brought us to were beautiful. Water was a little choppy on the day we went out, but thecaptain did a fantastic job keeping us out of the wind and finding calm swimming spots. Lunch was delicious as well. All around a perfect day snorkeling and swimming in the sun, thanks to the mate and captain!
AMAZING DAY TRIP AROUND ST JOHN
Reviewed November 2020
The captain and snorkel expert first mate were amazing as was the day. They took us to their favorite spots around St John and the mate even helped us identify the fish. They took us to some popular places and some that were hidden gems. Food was fantastic. I would recommend this company for couples or families.
BOATING WITH THE BEST!!
Reviewed November 2020
The mate took such great care of us both days on the boat! He’s very personable, friendly, and an all around great tour guide! We enjoyed our time on the boat and would definitely recommend a day yacht excursion with the mate as your guide. The captain was also really cool and both he and the mate were very knowledgeable about the islands and places to snorkel. Overall it was a fun and great experience.

Amazing day snorkeling and swimming. Food was surprisingly delicious and the cold drinks were on target. Be sure to request the first mate and the captain. The captain was very confident behind the helm and very knowledgeable with geography. They knew the ins and outs of great snorkeling spots and swimming holes. Stay near the first mate when snorkeling, he locates more marine wildlife than you would.

ATTENTIVE SERVICE, HOSPITALITY, AND PROFESSIONALISM
Reviewed October 2020
I wasn’t involved with the researching or planning the charter with Magic Moments, so I can’t speak to prices, reservation management, or customer service. I had no expectations when we showed up at the dock. I was blown away with the attentive service, hospitality, and professionalism of the skipper and first mate. The skipper was thoroughly knowledge about boats and the sea. He shared stories and experiences with skippering boats throughout the Caribbean. First mate was a jack-of-all-trades. He prepared the best drinks and served as a naturalist during our snorkel trip. We would have missed so many creatures if mate didn’t free dive to bring them up to the surface. Our trip took placed during the Covid pandemic and I’m impressed how the two adhered to safety protocols and took their jobs seriously. They balanced safety with having a good time. I can’t recommend Magic Moments enough. Safe travels everyone!

Celebrated my birthday with the captain and first mate. From the time they docked the yacht, they were incredibly friendly and thoughtful of our comfort and experience. They were able to take us to beautiful places, were accommodating, and always one step ahead with our drinks. They were both knowledgeable about the island and surrounding areas.

We went out on Magic moments with Captain Matt and 1st mate Aaron and they gave us 1st class service from the time on the dock until the end of the day without interruption. Those guys are amazing hard workers and very professional! The boat was immaculately clean and spacious. Aaron makes gorgeous plates and fantastic drinks with a smile ?. Matt does the one job he needs to master, driving the boat, masterfully and with a smile. They told us tons of facts about the island and history. The snorkeling tours with Aaron were incredible. He knows what all the different fish are called and is incredible at spotting them. He even pulled up a brittle starfish so we could hold it. Truly a perfect day. Hats off to Matt and Aaron. I highly recommend charting with these guys. They are amazing!
MAGIC MOMENTS FOR SURE

From the timely pickup at the National Park dock, to a nice breakfast and outstanding lunch and snorkel ?, this was the best excursion ever. Worth every penny, Matt and Aaron were outstanding hosts. Skilled captain and mate were always focused on safety and ensuring we had a great experience. If you find yourself in St. Thomas or St. John, hire these guys and prepare yourself for the experience of a lifetime! Thanks Aaron and Matt!
ANOTHER AMAZING DAY WITH MAGIC MOMENTS

Another amazing day on Magic Moments! From the moment we stepped on board, the proverbial red-carpet was rolled out for us. Tropical welcome drinks, flowers, spacious seating in the shaded cockpit, first class breakfast and lunch presentation, top notch captain and crew, yacht was clean and in excellent condition, snorkelstops were on-point, safety was taken seriously (this was especially important for us as we have two young children Emma and Fee). We couldn’t be happier! The Magic Moments splurge is worth every penny (actually we paid less this time than the last time in 2016). The boat was very clean, there were hand sanitizing stations everywhere and the crew not only wore mask but also face shield. The spaciousness allowed distancing rules to be followed which made us very happy! We can’t wait for our next trip with them!

Really happy we booked a day trip with Magic Moments! There are so many day charters and I’m glad we decided on this company- felt luxurious without the crazy high price tag! The day trip was so much fun and a highlight of our time in St Thomas. We went snorkeling and saw so much sea life- and turtles up close! Matt and Aaron took care of us all day and were surprisingly informative and wonderful guides. They absolutely made the experience better for us. Such a great way to spend the day on the water- solid choice for couples, friends, and family!

Chuck was my captain and was very experienced and informative, but he also had that laid back chill island demeanor which was perfect. He played the music I requested and we had a good time. His first mate Aaron seriously video taped me diving in with my $300 sun glasses on, dumb move on my part, and then he seriously went back in the water to find my glasses at the bottom since we were in shallow water. Above and beyond what I expected and would hire these two guys again in a second. Gracias Mates.

This is our 3rd time out with this company and as the 2 previous trips it was another perfect day. As we walked down to the National Park Visitor Center we saw our private yacht waiting for us on the dock, and after a warm welcome by Capt Rich and 1st mate Alyssa we were on our way to sightsee and snorkel in the US Virgin Islands. I can’t say enough about the fantastic snorkeling areas that Rich found for us that morning.

We are already looking forward to next years trip on this beautiful yacht. Its always a special day for us. Thanks MagicMoments!

MAGIC MOMENTS IS STILL THERE TO MAKE YOUR VACATION MEMORABLE
Reviewed April 2019
Great news! Yes, the islands are resilient and Magic Moments is still there to make your experience memorable. At the end of February, we enjoyed what was our fourth Magic Moments experience in eight years, and were again blown away by the hospitality and competence of this company and its phenomenal crew. We were delighted to be able to chart a course to new spots, and to see the rebuild and rejuvenation of Jost Van Dyke. This time, rather than swimming ashore at the new Soggy Dollar Bar, we went to Foxy’s Taboo (not to be confused with the original Foxy’s) and loved being able to dock our magnificent Magic Moments yacht and stroll up the dock to a really great bar setting in a rather perfect spot on Earth. We so enjoyed our time at Foxy’s Taboo because our whole morning through lunch experience on our Magic Moments Sea Ray had already been superlative. We hit some great snorkeling spots, had the Captain know exactly how to get us promptly through BVI customs, dined and drank like royalty, enjoyed conversation and quiet times perfectly paced. We were safe, well cared for, well fed, and had the proverbial red carpet rolled out for us as we explored the USVI and BVI waters on a rather great vessel (did I mention that the Captain and First Mate were amazing?!). As much as we love our time exploring beaches and restaurants of St. John, I simply cannot envision a week there without a day on the water with Magic Moments. No more every other year. For me, there is no going to St. John without at least one day with Magic Moments.

We had an awesome time yesterday on Magic Moments IV. We had booked the smaller 45′ Sea Ray, but when checked in we were upgraded to the 53′ Sun Seeker. The Sea Ray was out for routine maintenance. The Captain and crew were terrific and made our day a wonderful experience attending to our every need. Our friends had never been out on a day charter and this was a special treat. While expensive this was well worth it. Great snorkeling off St. John and Norman Island. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. We are already talking about doing this again next year. We will most likely stay in the USVI as the $45 per person fee for customs in the BVI and the wasted time is not worth it. Sure a trip to Soggy Dollar on Jost is something everyone talks about but it can be crowded. Between the time it takes to get there and the wait for a painkiller it just doesn’t add enough to the day to be worthwhile. We highly recommend Magic Moments and while we are sure other captains and first mates are all wonderful, our Captain and were terrific.

My wife, Mother-in-law, Son (1 year old) and I just got back from staying at the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas. The trip was great. Our day with Magic Moments made it one of the best trips we have ever been on. We were picked up right on the beach at the hotel. I was a touch apprehensive about doing something like this with our one year old in tow, but the Captain and the crew immediately made us feel at ease about our decision. They customized a trip that included everything we wanted to do. Snorkeling, Swimming, Island hopping, Bar hopping, sight seeing just to name a few. They even offered to look after the little one if all 3 of us wanted to snorkel together. They were such a great crew that one of us was always willing to hang on the boat with them and the baby while the others hit the water. The breakfast and lunch that was provided on board was amazing and the cocktails and champagne flowed freely. Our Captain took us to some of the most beautiful and less known areas down there.

I am not a snorkler but my husband is, so they were able to plan a day that gave us both something different to enjoy. We were able to visit parts of the BVI that we would never have seen or known about. The breakfast and lunch were excellent and Lori kept us well hydrated! We look forward to taking another excursion with Magic Moments in the future and would be very happy if the Captain and first mate were available to be our hosts.

We have used Magic Moments now for four excursions around the Virgin Islands and they are the highlight of our trip each and every time! They treat you like royalty and make you feel like you are right at home, albeit in the middle of the ocean! This time we had the pleasure of boating with the captain and the first mate. They were amazing and made our day enjoyable and filled with memories that we will never forget. We came to find out that we actually had our captain on our first excursion with Magic Moments, and yet again he amazed. His tour through the Baths at Virgin Gorda was unforgettable and something that we would recommend to all. Although weather did deter us from some of our favorite activities, the crew were right there ready with ample substitutes and even gave us another island to check off our bucket list. They told stories of the islands and were extremely knowledgeable. Without a doubt would highly recommend and are already planning our next trip with Magic Moments! Thank you for everything Magic Moments, we cannot wait for our next trip! The Kudlac Family

As advertised. We had a great day. 7 of us, 5 being teens or young adults. Everyone enjoyed the day and all said it the best day we spent in the VI. Both Captain and Mate were very gracious and accommodating. They handled the details and we just enjoyed the day. We did the standard itinerary and did not deviate much. Each stop was a lot of fun and they did all they could to make it a really pleasurable experience. Food was good, snorkeling was ok, parking at the beach on JVD and just jumping in was a blast. Overall would certainly recommend them for anyone wanting a private day on the water. One note, bring cash for customs and then bring extra for gratuity. We failed to think of both and had to make a quick run to the ATM.

We were lucky enough to go out on the Magic Moments yacht. Right from the very beginning, they Captain and crew mate were so positive and accommodating. Captain was up front and honest about the amount of time it would take for us to do the different ideas we had, and gave us plenty of options for adventuring, although he ultimately left it up to us to decide.
From asking us what we all wanted to do, to refilling our drinks nonstop, these two were fantastic. It might sound easy, but with a group of 9 people and 7 of us in our twenties, there were a LOT of drinks to fill. Never once did they make us feel like we were inconveniencing them or asking too much. We had an amazing lunch, and were able to stay as long as we wanted at the locations to really experience them.
Besides being knowledgable about the area, the islands, customs processes, and the boat, they were friendly and conversational. It truly felt like her were just out with friends for the day. Anyone would feel lucky to spend the day with this team, who were professional and hospitable the entire time we were in their presence.

Reviewed August 6, 2016
I booked a trip for 6 of us on Magic Moments in late May. We were 3 couples, and I was entertaining important business colleagues so I had to make sure the day was done right. We were staying at the Ritz, and Magic Moments picked us up right on the beach which made it very easy.
The boat arrived on time and our Captain came ashore to gather us. We hopped on the boat and our First Mate was there to greet us. The boat is spectacular. Our Captain talked to us about our itinerary and we explained we were going to JVD later in the week so we wanted to try something else. He picked some glorious snorkeling spots for us off STJ, where we saw a spotted eagle ray and gorgeous fish and coral. Their snorkel equipment was in great condition. Then we checked in to the BVI (First Mate handled everything and showed her mad skills when we couldn’t get the boat up to the dock due to another boat not following proper protocol) and we went off to Norman Island to explore the caves. The breakfast was delicious with fruit and pastries to die for.
Along the way, our Captain pointed out the different islands and gave us a great tour. For lunch, we stopped at a secluded cove and went for a swim while our First Mate prepared the most amazing lunch – lobster salad, yum! I told them ahead of time it was my husband’s birthday (good man, entertaining my business associates on his bday) and asked if they could get a cake – carrot cake, to be specific. And they delivered!!! No request to big or too small for this crew. I was so appreciative.
Afterwards, we drove by Willy T’s just to see what the hype was all about and we made our journey back to STJ for customs. Before doing so, our Captain and Mate told us about Pizza Pi which is an awesome business with amazing pizza, made on a boat. So, after customs, they called in our order and off we went for our pizza delivery. It was a perfect way to cap off an incredible day.
The music selection was a little dull but we were able to plug in our iPhone and play our own music. Even our Captain and Mate agreed it was a great playlist. As the drinks were consumed, and the music played, we all felt every worry, tension or care we had slip away.
After our trip, one of my colleagues told me it was “the best day of her entire life.” I have to agree, it was hard to beat. My husband had a great birthday celebration, too. Great service, beautiful boat in a gorgeous setting. It isn’t cheap, but it is a high end experience and worth every penny.
I’m returning to the islands in December with my family and will definitely book again!

Both were experienced sailors and extremely knowledgeable about the waters, sea life, and back-stories about the various islands. It seemed that every island one of us mentioned is one to which our Captain had sailed on one or more occasions, and our Mate, who was an amazing swimmer, could even discuss in expert form the skiing in Colorado. More than having an extremely interesting and friendly crew who knew when to engage and when to give us our private time, we were in the most competent of hands, which is critically important when there are those in the group proud of their landlubber status. As for the price, it is not a cheap day, but of all the money spent on vacations, this money was more than well spent…..we bought ourselves the most memorable of magical moments, from the snorkeling spots to the peaceful spot chosen for our lunch to the beautiful and well-presented meals on board. Quite simply, a day out on a Sea Ray with a crew like we had is worth every penny spent. Having now chartered a Sea Ray with Magic Moments twice, with two different Captains and Mates, I would feel quite lucky drawing our current Captain and Mate again as the crew, but know that the organization itself seems to know how to hire and inspire all of its crews to deliver truly memorable magical moments.

Went out with Captain Johnny and First Mate Rob for the best day ever on the water. Wonderful sights, fabulous food and two men who treated us like royalty. Couldn’t have found a better charter.
“BEST CREW EVER”

Excellent trip coupled with excellent crew. Our Captain and First Mate made our day. Knowledgeable and friendly. They made our guest very comfortable. It was a wonderful experience. I’m not really a sea person but I recommend this trip to everyone. if you are looking for a relaxing day this is the way to go. Make sure you bring your camera and swimsuit along. Not many times you meet people that enjoy what they do as much as these guys. Our safety was their priority. GREAT JOB GUYS.
hope to see you soon

This 45 foot Luxury Motor Yacht day trip made our vacation to St. Thomas so much more exciting and memorable.The itinerary was perfect and lasted from 9am ( they wanted us at 8am but we asked for 9am) and lasted till 5pm so a full 8 hours!! Our Captain and 1st mate were two very skilled, caring, humorous, and nice people. The watch words in order was Safety, Comfort, Fun. And there was plenty of all and the food and beverage service was awesome.
we boated to many beautify islands, snorkeled on the best reefs we’ve ever seen, into caves, and swam onto Sand Cay a beautiful beach. We went to the BVI as well. It was such a day of constant beauty above and below the water. The trip seemed expensive, but by the end of the day you feel it was worth every dollar. A life time experience. Thank you to our Captain and Mate for an incredible journey . Best regards!
