We found out about Captain Al and his boats from Jimmy, our waiter at Caribbean Fish Market restaurant (REALLY good food!) Each trip takes 10 - 12 people, which was much nicer than the usual 20 to 40 on a catamaran trip. We sailed from St. Thomas to St. John to pick up the rest of our group, and then... More

Great day on the water. You will be on a charter boat with approximately 4 or 5 couples (we had 5). Get started early, about 8am and head out from St. Thomas to St. John to pick up folks there and then off to the BVI. The ride is long, so if you are queezy on the water, be warned.... More

Wonderful crew (Rick and Carrie) who attended to our every need. Truly concerned with making sure EVERYONE had a good time. Good snorkel equipment-the crew made sure everyone had the right stuff and knew how to use it. The Baths are incredible and snorkeling at the Caves was great too.They were great with narration of the various sights and quite... More

We had a wonderful trip with Stormy Petrel! Al made it very easy to book everything. Day of the trip, the boat picked up passengers at St. Thomas first and then came to St. John to pick up my husband and I at about 8am. We received warm greetings from Al, the captain, and Jess, and they went over a... More

On either the Stormy Petrel and Pirates Penny you will be on a motor boat with no more than app. 9 people plus the captain and 1 crew for a wonderful day (8-3:30) on the water to tour the US and British Virgin Islands. Leaving from St. Thomas with a pick up in St. John, focus of the trip on... More

Our trip to the Baths and Soggy Dollar with Capt. Rick and First Mate Rachel was fantastic. Alan Day, in the office, efficiently handled the booking for a family party of eight, and was very responsive to questions. We were picked up at the National Park Service dock in St. John right on time. The crew was excellent in explaining... More

I did the BVI tour with another company the previous year and this was, hands down, much better. Smaller group which allowed for a much better experience. It didn't seem like we were all jammed onto the boat. The whole day was perfect and we were well taken care of. I have already recommended this to some friends who are... More

My husband and I and two other couples spent the day last Thursday aboard the Stormy Petrel. It was a wonderful day that had just the right amount of relaxation, fun and information. Captain Rick and his assistant Savannah were incredibly personable and helpful. They both were very clear that they were there to help us have a great (and... More

So after some research, I decided to choose Stormy Petrel and Pirate's Penny instead of some of the other tour boats, basically doing the same trip. Pros: fewer passengers on our boat (capacity 12, we had 11 on the day we went), great service and 1 less stop along the way (made for more time at each stop). We had... More
