Quick Details
Lounge on the Deck of a Private Vessel
The Axopar private charters have ample seating for 11 passengers. These boats include a lounging sun bed in front and dining table with swivel seating as well as a full cabin with a private bathroom. The expansive hard top provides plenty of shade for you and your passengers, but retracts for additional sunshine. Each boat contains snorkel gear and an insulated cooler stocked with water, sodas and beer. Their unique hulls and twin Mercury engines with combined 700 HP provide an exceptionally smooth ride. You can even put on your favorite playlist while on the water using the boat’s sound system with Bluetooth capability.
The Axopar charters are made up of our three boats: Island Escape, Isla’s Quest, and Island Soul. Island Escape and Isla’s Quest feature a wet bar with a mini fridge while Island Soul features a second lounging sun bed at the rear of the boat.
Sit back and relax as one of our knowledgeable captains commands the boat. They know these islands and waters better than anyone and will gladly help you chart out a plan for your trip once you arrive. There are many hidden gems that only a captain knows and can navigate, from floating restaurants to secluded beaches and uninhabited islands. We check the weather forecast and sea conditions regularly to give you the best tips and locations for your perfect day.

Reef-safe sunscreens are required in the Virgin Islands as those that are not reef safe can harm or even kill the coral and wildlife. We also ask that you do not bring or use “Sport” or aerosol types of sun protection as they make the floors very slippery and they stain the upholstery. Rash Guards that have SPF built in are also an excellent option for reducing exposure to the sun. You can visit our store Low Key Watersports for a selection of reef-safe sunscreen; you even receive 10% off the day of your trip!
-
A passport is only required if you plan on visiting the British Virgin Islands (next group of islands over). If so, passports are required for everyone on board no matter what age, and they must not be expired! If you do not have a passport there are an abundance of islands, snorkeling spots, and fun to be had within the U.S. Virgin Islands waters.
-
Fuel cost based on usage will be an additional charge at the end of your trip. It is payable by cash or it can be added to your card on file.
Gratuity for your Charter Captain is always appreciated. Similar to other service industry staff, 20% (of the boat price) is a standard gratuity for excellent service.
