Andi and Shane are the absolute best if you want 5 star service, exceptional knowledge of the waters, islands and snorkeling. They never stop smiling and are always there to make sure that you are having the very best experience. I would hole heartedly recommend them to any group wanting to have a wonderful, exciting and safe trip to the USVI’s and beyond. Beautiful boat and yes a bottomless cooler of drinks - just overall an incredible experience - we are back this November and have booked them again for two days - the only boat and charter service that we will use.

I highly recommend using Captain Jug and his services! Our Captain Kara was amazing and so patient with my new fiance Heidi, whom I proposed to the day before from our beautiful Villa overlooking Coral bay! Kara took the time to make sure we were comfortable snorkeling our entire trip! Newbies no more! We spent time at Lime Out, and circumnavigate the entire island of St. John, spending alot of time in the calmer South side! We learned so much history of the island and Kara is the absolute best at what she does! We will be booking again next January for sure! Look no further than Captain Jug and Kara!!

We are repeat bookers with Captain Jug and Kara… and we will be back again. They are more than great captains and people… they have become friends. They are willing to let you dictate the day’s activities, but are filled with great ideas and take into account your “style.” This last trip we were not lucky enough to have Captain Jug, himself, but Kara was fantastic as always and Becca, her first mate, is going to be a great captain some day. I can’t recommend Juggerknot highly enough! Book a trip… you’ll have a blast in the boat and in the water!

My group of two couples had a superb time on the Coqui. Captain Ivan picked us up at the Westin and took us to some remote destinations where we could snorkel. Ivan is a very kind, enthusiastic and professional captain who made us feel like celebrities. He arrived with a cooler full of drinks and an immaculate boat. We really loved the ladder on the Coqui that made it so easy to board the boat after our swims. We were sad when it was time to end the day. We will definitely book again the next time we are in St. John.

We recently hired Born To Rhumb for our group of 6, having done the same last year with a larger group. This is a very professionally run boat tour and it was the absolute highlight of our trip both times. Captain Shane is friendly, knowledgable, and they provide a second mate that gets in the water with you for your own safety and the safety of kids. I cannot commend them enough! Beautiful boat, great crew, sensational destinations, fantastic painkillers served on board!

A group of friends invited us to join them on Born to Rhumb this year. They have chartered with Capt. Shane for several years, and they could not say enough great things.

We accepted their invite, even though we were on another charter the day before. We were so glad we accepted. The day was made perfect by Capt. Shane’s warm hospitality, his knowledge of the islands, and by his recommendations based on what we wanted out of our day.

We visited the Indians in the morning, and it was dead calm. What a great snorkel experience. Then he took us over to Norman Island to snorkel. We saw some amazing fish, and even a spotted eagle ray! From there we went to lunch, then over to Jost where we made a couple of stops.

Shane, and his staff, Cali, made our day memorable. They were laid back, and so much fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We highly recommend Born to Rhumb and Captain Shane!
