“really great day out, the breakfast donut and lunch were a great bonus as were the unlimited drinks (but i only had lemonade bahah). beautiful swim spots and super fun to jump off the top of the boat into the clear water so definitely recommend, GYG didn’t specify but now they don’t stop at the shipwreck as it’s been removed but went somewhere else which was pretty. only negative is that the boat ride is a bit long at the start at end but still a great day out”

“Great day exploring St John with captain Sammy and first mate Maeve. The food tour did provide some of the most unique foodie experiences starting with Lime Out floating bar and taco restaurant. We tried the ceviche and the Caribbean (seared ahi) tacos and they were AWESOME, as was the “danger” cocktail. Then pizza Pi delivered boat-made pizza to our boat via dinghy…where else can you get THAT?! And I’ve never had peaches in my pizza but the Georgia peach pizza with feta was so unique and yummy! We also got to snorkel at two locations not easily accessed by car making this day on the boat super special.”
