CHARTER COMPARISONS ### Best Family Charters The best family boat charter in the USVI is a private half-day snorkeling trip from Cruz Bay or Red Hook. Look for boats with 6+ capacity, calm-water itineraries (Maho Bay, Honeymoon Beach), and child-sized snorkel gear. Half-day charters ($800–$1,200) work best for young children; full-day trips suit families with teens. Catamarans are most stable for kids. Compare: https://questvi.com/compare/best-charter-for-families ### Cheapest Charters Cheapest boat charters start at $49/person for shared sunset sails and $65/person for group snorkeling. Private charters start at $650 for a half-day. Save money by booking per-person trips, choosing half-day, traveling shoulder season (May–June, Nov), and booking directly with the captain. Compare: https://questvi.com/compare/cheapest-boat-charters ### Best for Couples Most romantic: private sunset sail ($650, 2–3 hours, champagne).
