A: Yes, there are two marine-style bathrooms on the catamaran.
Q: Will I get sea sick?
A: The VI Cat is roughly a 29′ wide, 54′ long sailing vessel, so it tends to offer a smoother ride than other boats. However, if you have a tendency to get motion sickness, anti-nausea bands, patch or medication may be helpful. Inquire with your primary health care professional for guidance.
Q: What do I need to bring?
A: If you are going on a snorkel tour; you should wear your swimsuit and bring a towel, hat, sunglasses, non-spray, reef-safe sunscreen. For all tours; we suggest you bring cash for gratuities and cash/credit card if interested in purchasing souvenir shirts.
A: From WICO / Havensight:
1 passenger = $12;
2+ passengers = $9/each person, each way
From Crown Bay:
1 passenger = $15;
2+ passengers = $12/each person, each way.
- Please note these rates are subject to change per VI Taxi Commission Regulations.
A: Yes. A good mask, snorkel, & fins is one thing, but a snorkel vest is also part of the equipment of a snorkeler. Wearing a snorkel vest is especially important for all snorkelers. Instead of concentrating on the constant movements to stay afloat, your focus can be on the underwater landscapes, turtles and fish. It is particularly important that the vest fits well and is comfortable to wear without being too big or too small. The vest should not restrict movement. The snorkel vest can be inflated by a simple mouth valve.
A: Lockers are not available on-board. We recommend that you only bring what you will need for your trip and secure it amongst your backpack or beach bag.
A: With a week’s notice, we can arrange with our caterer to have a cake dropped directly to the boat. Call the office to discuss options and pricing.
Q: Is The Cat available for private events?
A: Yes, of course! Please call the office to book your special occasion today! The Cat works very closely with the Marriott’s concierge service (St. Thomas Water Sports, LLC.)
