Sonic Charters is a St. Thomas boat rental and private charter company built around one idea: match the boat to the group. Rather than putting every guest on the same hull, Sonic runs a curated fleet ranging from a nimble 32' Intrepid to a 58' Viking Princess yacht — so groups of 4, 8, or 12 all get a boat that actually fits.
Every charter is private. Whether it's a snorkel-and-beach day around St. Thomas, a full-day BVI crossing to Jost Van Dyke, or a sunset lap around Water Island, the captain designs the day around your group.
What Makes St. Thomas Sonic Charters Special?
Curated Powerboat Fleet
32' Intrepid, 37' Intrepid Open, and 50' Sea Ray Sundancer 460 — each purpose-built for a different group size and style.
Lagoon 450 Catamaran
Wide, stable sailing catamaran — the most comfortable ride in the fleet for 8–12 guest days.
58' Viking Princess Yacht
For guests who want the flagship experience — light breakfast, premium open bar, and a captain-plus-crew standard of service.
Groups from 4–12
Smaller Intrepid for 4–8 guests, larger hulls for 10–12. Right-sized boats, not one-size-fits-all.
Transparent Pricing
Base rate + fuel estimate published up front — you know what you're paying before you book.
USVI & BVI Itineraries
Snorkel, beach hop, or cross to the BVI — every trip customized around the group.
About Sonic Charters
Sonic Charters is a St. Thomas boat rental and charter company built around a curated multi-boat fleet. The idea is straightforward: a family of four shouldn't have to book the same boat as a bachelorette party of twelve, and Sonic's lineup lets guests match the vessel to the day.
Every trip is private. Captains are USCG-licensed and know the USVI and BVI intimately — the best snorkel stops, quiet beaches when the popular ones are packed, and how to read the wind to keep the ride smooth.
One of Sonic's distinguishing choices is upfront transparency on pricing. Each boat lists a base price and a fuel estimate range, so guests can compare hulls apples-to-apples before booking.
The Fleet — Which Boat Fits Your Group
32' Intrepid — $1,100 base, up to 9 guests, 2x Yamaha outboards, fuel estimate $100–$300. Includes cooler with ice and water. The go-to for smaller family or friend groups.
37' Intrepid Open — $1,350 base, up to 12 guests, 3x Yamaha F350s, fuel estimate $150–$500. More space, more power — ideal for 8–12 guest days with a mix of snorkel and beach.
50' Sea Ray Sundancer 460 — $2,000 base, up to 12 guests, twin Cummins 450 HP diesel, fuel estimate $250–$600. Cabin, seating, and comfort-forward for guests who want a proper cruising experience. Includes light breakfast, open bar, and afternoon snacks.
Lagoon 450 Catamaran — $2,000 base, up to 12 guests. Stable, wide, and shaded — the ride of choice for guests worried about seasickness or groups who want space to spread out. Includes light breakfast, open bar, and afternoon snacks.
58' Viking Princess Yacht — $2,750 base, up to 12 guests, twin MAN 900 HP, fuel estimate $300–$700. The flagship — premium open bar, light breakfast, and assorted snacks. For milestone days, private events, and guests who want a truly elevated experience.
