Soulshine Charters
We have personally chartered Soulshine’s 44’ Lagoon catamaran 3 times for 3-5 night trips around the Virgins and have nothing but great things to say about Captain Jim & first mate Megan and the service they provide while up to 3 couples (6 guests) stay with them. They typically provide 2 out of 3 meals a day and all beverages. Depending of course on conditions, you could sail to Anegada for a night or 2, St. Croix, around the BVI, USVI or even over to Puerto Rico, Culebra and Vieques.
Soulshine also does day charters around the USVI and BVI for up to 12 guests.
