Empire Boat Charters

Thank you to Ellen Patton for leaving a review!

We had a very fun day with Empire March. Captain Sean picked us up exactly on time on St. John. We headed to Virgin Gorda to explore The Baths. The boat was comfortable and had plenty of shade. The Baths were gorgeous. Rather than swim in we took a taxi from the marina to the park entrance. The hike to the Baths is not difficult and the views along the way are beautiful. After the Baths we returned to the marina and Captain Sean suggested we stop at Marina Cay for lunch. It was a short ride to the cay. The food was excellent! Then we headed to Norman Island to snorkel in the caves. This was really cool. On the way back to St. John we commented that the only thing missing on this perfect day were dolphins. Unbelievably 3 dolphins appeared and escorted us past Caneel Bay back to St. John.
We loved our day and highly recommend Empire March. Although water is provided make sure and bring water bottles to fill on the boat. They do not use single use plastic and if you want water on land you will have to purchase it or fill your own water bottle on the boat.

Amazing time with Captain Sean - again! First trip with my wife and teenage kids...fast forward 4 years and the second charter was with friends that never visited the Virgin Islands before...THEY LOVED IT. Sean is very knowledgeable about the USVI and BVI. CLEAN and stable ride on his power catamaran...fast and plenty of sun or shade! Sean is very safe and super easy to spend time with...like an old friend. He helped us maximize our time and our fun!! Thanks again Sean!!!

Best charter boat ever! What a fantastic day on the waters around USVI.Captain Sean is amazing. He took us to so many scenic and interesting cays and bays - Lovango Cay, the north coast of St John, down to Little St James and Christmas Cove. Sean narrated the trip, pointed out famous houses (Kenny Chesney, Oppenheimer, Bloomberg, Epstein, …), and talked about the character and history of each island. Everyone’s favorite day of an incredible vacation!

Ernesto is to our stern and Empire March and crew are doing great! We are waiting for the ports to open so we can get out and continue doing boat things! The island is still in clean up mode so please have patience with us. Our internet and data is slow and spotty. Booking online is preferred during the next few days until things get back to normal. ❤️

Thank you to David Lukens for leaving a review!

Had an awesome day for a group of 7 on a St John’s snorkel tour. Capt. Sean was great and was willing to take us to do whatever we wanted and had plenty of suggestions - giving informative tidbits about the history of the island as we went. We couldn’t get to Lime Out as it was closed so dropped anchor for lunch at High Tide right on the beach in Cruz Bay. Book with Empire, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you to Mara Tarantino-Morgan for leaving a review!

We had a wonderful trip to The Baths on Empire Charters! Captain Sean was great to work. Very quick response to all of our questions before booking. Upfront & honest about cost and options for add-ons. You won't regret booking through Empire!

Beautiful but invasive!

Just one of these lionfish can reduce marine creatures by 80% to 90% in its range within 5 weeks. With no natural predators lionfish negatively impact what are guests experience while snorkeling our stunning waters.

That is why we are proud to be a sponsor of the first ever Lionfish Derby in St Thomas/St John, August 16-18.

Our day on the Empire March was the best day of our trip! Captain Sean was fun and friendly and gave great recommendations on places to go.

Thank you to Baseball Mom 16 for leaving a review!

Great day out on the water! Must do, you won’t be disappointed!
My family and I used Sean for a day charter to explore around St John by water. Sean was friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide! He showed us some really cool spots to snorkel in and some beautiful sights we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own. He also brought us to Lime Out for tacos. They were delish! The kids got a kick out of watching lunch at a floating restaurant. All in all, it was a fantastic day! If you are looking for a great day and want to support a good guy, Sean is your guy! Do it, it will be the best day of your vacation!
