BVI Charter – 2024 Update

by Posted in Boat Charter Tagged , , , , ,

Are the BVI open for day charters?

Yes, BVI charters are open again for US Boats. They made it very difficult and expensive to obtain the necessary permits and certification but we jumped through all the hoops and are licensed to do BVI charters. The passport information now has to be submitted before the trip, Captain Steve will reach out to you for that. The customs fees for BVI charters are currently about 85$ per person

USVI Charter Options

While we continue to monitor the situation about day charters, we would love to show you a good time in the USVI on a half day, 3/4 day, full day or sunset cruise and you can also add fishing to the charter. For food stops there is Pizza Pi the Pizza Boat , Lovango Cay and Lime Out the Taco boat which has already re-opened for the season. Check out the options here.

Mark your calendars, the iconic Pizza Pi boat that serves fresh pizza made on the boat is re-opening for the second season under new ownership.

They have done a complete interior overhaul. These changes will allow them to increase capacity and dramatically reduce wait times. The changes include:

    • Installation of new 20kw generator to support additional capacity.

    • Installation of an additional oven that will increase pizza producing capacity by ~65%.

    • Complete redesign of galley and forecastle for increased refrigeration, storage and overall greater efficiency.

    • Improved space for displaying and storing merchandise.

    • Installation of new sound system with Wakeboard and JL speakers.

Where is the Pizza Boat?

The Pizza Boat is at Christmas Cove off Little St. James. There is great snorkeling nearby or when go there for dinner on a sunset cruise.

Thank you for a great season!

The first storms have passed, it is the end of a great season and time to thank our awesome captains, wonderful customers and fantastic friends for all the good times we had on www.rockhoppin.com. Thanks for booking with us and we hope to see you again in the upcoming 2015/2016 season! We will remain open in September and are hopeful that “Erika” and “Danny” were the only storms for the season but will tow the boat out of water again in case of another warning. Until then, here are some of our favorite memories from the past season.

by Posted in Boat Charter Tagged , , ,

Our comfortable 32 FS Regulator with twin Yamaha 300s will take you out for the day on a private charter. The typical day trip starts at 9:00 AM in Cruz Bay, St. John and ends at around 4pm. Here is an overview over our most popular day trip destinations. The itinerary is flexible and based on the weather, wind and your preferences our experienced captains will take you to the best spots.

NOTE: different from other boats our prices already include the fuel, so they can change and we cannot always update every single page with the latest pricing, the prices in our online booking www.rockhoppin.com/bookme are final and we will always honor the price you booked at.

Spend a great day on the water – No hidden extra charges!

The prices depend on destination. Different from most charter companies, they include captain and fuel, the only extras are the BVI customs / mooring fees. We do not charge for additional stops. So on ones destination you can add as many stops as you want. Number of stops is only limited by the time….for BVI trips, we have to be back on St. John before customs closes
