- Snorkeling
- Kids Life Jackets
- We do have some kids life jackets on board but as you know, kids can be picky, so we recommend bringing theirs along if possible. We have found there’s a much higher chance of them being comfortable in the water if they’re using something they’re familiar with.
- Snorkel Gear
- We have masks, fins, and snorkels for kids. But again, it’s always best to bring gear if they have their own that they’re familiar with.

What is the best itinerary for kids?
This depends on their ages and interests…
Our Norman Island itinerary as it offers the most snorkeling, the smoothest sailing, and the calmest anchorages.
Our Jost Van Dyke itinerary offers the most beach time, but less to see snorkeling due to more sand than coral.
What ages are allowed on the boats?
- Minimum age: We have no minimum age requirement.
- Enjoyment: Kids of all ages thoroughly enjoy their day out with us.
- Naps: While we don’t have a separate cabin for kids to nap, if you bring a blanket we do have bench style seating where they’re able to rest.
