For context, I'm sending them my sailing resume next week.

But before that, I just wanna know what happens when things break.

How fast does someone show up? Is the boat in good shape at the start? Chartered with them in the last year or two?

Love to hear it.

Has anyone been here to eat and how is it? I drove past it on one of my last days on my last trip but didn’t have time to check it out. It looks like a cool vibe. Maybe hidden/upscale?? Just curious to see what it’s like. I’m heading back this spring. I only saw it for about ten seconds while I was driving and holding up the local street traffic but it looked like a spot that might totally fit my family’s food vibe.

Visited St John's last year and provided proof of my stateside car insurance. I'm going again in november, but now I no longer have car insurance here.

Where can I purchase standalone rental car insurance?

Google suggested Rentalcover, Bonzah, Allianz Travel Insurance, Travel Guard...

Anyone have any first-hand experience or suggestions? We are going for about a week and renting a Jeep

We are traveling to St. Thomas and St. John in March and I am wondering what is artsy to see? Thinking like public art, museums, galleries. Anyone recommend where we should go?

We did a Moorings sailing cat in 2022 and had a good time. This year we’re four couples and we want a powercat.

What should I compare when looking at smaller local companies? I'd be in charge of the boat, with about eight years of charter trips on my resume.

Sorry if this is repetitive - I’m looking to transport two large dogs (both >60kg German Shepherd Dogs) from the US mainland to St Croix. From my research, they likely won’t be permitted in the cabin of most airlines, but I hate the idea of putting them into the cargo hold.

Does anyone have a recent experience and/or creative ideas? Thank you very much in advance!

As the title suggests, I’m wondering about the Virgin Islands rap scene. Are there open mics I should look out for? Are there certain venues I should check out?

I’m a hip-hop artist from Florida who just moved to St. Thomas with my wife.

My wife and I will be staying on St. John Island for 6 days in January for our 10 year anniversary and also a belated honeymoon trip. What are some things you all would recommend for more "romantic" or "once in a lifetime" kind of things to do for a couple celebrating? Definitely going to book a swim with dolphins and sea turtles, but as for everything else, it seems like there is too many options and I keep getting side tracked when trying to look things up and I end up having 40 different tabs open on my PC.

We’re doing a trip for my husband and Is 40th birthdays with my parents/siblings/ 3 young children (2, 5, 6) and St. John seems really appealing.

Was thinking renting a car in st Thomas and taking the ferry over. Where would be the best area to stay? There’s a few air bnb in Cruz bay that seem great and that seems to be the most convenient location?

Any other recommendations for traveling there with kids would be great! Thanks so much.

We are currently staying on STT and wanted to island hop to BVI at some point. But the ferry website and schedule is so confusing. Any suggestions on the cheapest way to go to BVI for a day? And if that is the ferry, can anyone help me understand the departure times and pricing?

First time taking the barge in Red Hook and I'm a little nervous hehe. I read from recent reviews that the staff yells at you/are very mean :(

I also don't know if I should book in advance or buy my ticket once I get there.

What do you guys suggest? :)

Edit: I'm talking about the car ferry

What's happening with the ramp up in boat confiscations in the Virgin Islands? Definitely likely to impact tourism, especially those who take charters (one instance here, though how many aren't covered in the news no way to tell)

I land at STT at 12:15PM and need to get to Road Town in Tortola. I priced a private taxi with Dolphin Water Taxi and its $500/pp roundtrip. Is it worth the price? It seems like the public ferries out of Charlotte Amalie (Road Town Fast Ferry) will be roughly $200/pp roundtrip and have long lines and hidden fees. Anyone have any advice or preferred ferry they would recommend? It's my first trip to the BVIs so looking for any and all advice.

Thanks!

We're a late 40s couple, headed to St. John for the first time in January, and would like to do a full day or one/two night boating excursion to explore the more remote places and such with someone that knows good places to hit.

The sites we've found generally have boats for large groups, but there are just two of us. Seen a couple small boat options, but we're social and wouldn't mind making some new friends.

Any suggestions for how to find a group we could potentially join? That has room for a couple more people to help defray cost? Preferably other adults/couples in lieu of families.

Any boating forums that we could post in? Or would we be better off messaging a charter business and asking if they can add us to a group?

Coming in Oct to StJ. The villa owner recommended Dexter's in STT. Anyone have an experiance with them?

We are going to visit St John in May 2027 for about a week. Looking for recommendations on a place to stay for two people. Have looked at a few hotels and on Airbnb, but can’t decide which is best!

Was thinking about staying at Villa La Vista Cottage on Airbnb but people have reviewed that it does not have a generator and the power went out and I’m wondering if that will be an issue, as I have seen other comments on here to make sure where we stay has one. We are not renting a car this trip so would like to stay in Cruz Bay (we will be taking taxis to our destinations). What is your favorite Airbnb spot or hotel on the island?

EDIT: has anyone stayed at the Wharfside Village Hotel? I keep seeing good things about this place might be choosing to stay here

Thanks in advance!

I am going to St Thomas for the first time, staying at Buoy Haus.

Would I be allowed to take my headlamp and look for crabs and stuff on the beach at night? I believe our hotel is right on the water so I wouldn’t be wandering too far.

I like looking at cool bugs at night when I am home, so wanted to extend my silly hobby while I’m on vacation, but I don’t wanna break any laws etc.

We are loving it so far, now we are just looking for something fun to do tonight! We want to get out and mingle and socialize. Where should we go! We are here all week.

I been to all the super dollars, billy's electronics, grocery stores.. Is there a place im missing? The stores have some but i have big feet n they aren't going over a size 7 in men. It's even hard to find stores that have them AND ship here.

We have a trip at the end of Sept. start of October to celebrate our anniversary. We are staying on St Thomas and will be there 10 days. We booked a car rental and plan to island hop, including the BVI. Unsure of how much cash I should bring with us for that amount of time. I know ATMs exist but I always have the worst luck with my bank flagging ATM withdrawals when on vacation and freezing all my cards
