Great time on the water! - We spent 4 hours with Captain Andrew on a half day charter, we went snorkeling to a couple of different areas and explored some deserted beaches on St John. We came on a cruise ship for the day and there was a big storm coming in, but Andrew avoided the bad weather while taking us to some great secluded spots on St John. Overall it was a great way to see St Thomas and St John, a highly recommend avoiding big groups and renting your own boat!

Full Day Private BVI Trip - We reserved a private charter with Bonus Time Charters for our family. Andrew was our captain for the day and he was amazing! He took us to Virgin Gorda to visit The Baths and then took us to Yost Van Dyke to a couple different places. Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable about lots of local places and about the islands in general We knew we were going to have an amazing trip but Andrew made it better than we anticipated. You won’t be disappointed with Bonus Time Charters!

Great boating adventure - We had a great day on the boat with Caption Scott of Bonus Time Charters. We got to do so much in just a half day. There was snorkeling with fish and turtles, diving down and see a ship wreck, and having pizza at a floating restaurant. Definitely use this group for your tour.
