Say Hello to Your Certified U.S. Coast Guard Captain & Crew

Best Day of our Vacation!!

Best day of the vacation! Capt Alex and Carli were simply amazing. Their knowledge of the islands and places to go for snorkeling, fun in the water and lunch made for a spectacular day for all. The smiles and laughter from the kids and the adults were endless and we’re still talking about the trip days later. Alex and Carli were part of the family by the end of the trip. Cannot wait to go out with Take it Easy on our next trip.

Taking it Easy!

We had an amazing time on Take it Easy with Captain Dana and his first mate! I booked an excursion with another company months prior to our vacation and unfortunately the dates were mixed up. Captain Dana came to the rescue days before we arrived on St. Thomas. We visited several islands, went for a swim and had lunch on a private island.

Thanks again for memorable trip. Your vessel is top notch, your services were very professional and accommodating. I’m looking forward to our next day charter with you to the BVI!

Reliable friendly service!

Best time with Alex and Dana. 11 of us took the boat for fun and to Lime Out! they took us to fabulous snorkeling places provided great snacks and a wonderful fun time. Great conversation and they wanted to know us! True professionals!

Great time!

Captain Alex and Danielle were great. They made our trip enjoyable and relaxing. Extremely knowledgeable about the islands and sea life. I would highly recommend them and Captain Dana for your next boating experience.

Best Day Ever in USVI

We were looking forward to our private charter with Take It Easy all week and it did not not disappoint! The boat is spacious and comfortable with excellent speakers that you can connect to your phone to set the perfect mood.

Captain Dana and First Mate Caroline were knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We learned about the history of the islands, identified fish and wildlife, heard what it's like during and after hurricanes, and got to gawk at celebrity mansions.

The fruit platter was as beautiful as it was delicious and Caroline's drinks were refreshing and effective. Our stop in St. John for lunch had a killer view and yummy mahi sandwiches.

The best parts of our day were spent snorkeling at 3 different spots where we saw sea turtles, rays, eels, and tropical fish of every spot and color. The last stop was an abandoned private beach that was once home to a luxury resort (see photo...that's really what it looks like!).

We could not recommend this excursion enough! Spend the money. Make the memories. And the next time you are sitting at your desk with a full inbox, close your eyes and go back to this moment. It's worth everything. Thank you Take It Easy and crew!

The Myers Take it Easy!

Dana and Brooke were awesome! It was soooo much fun! The kids snorkeled in two different locations, lunch, history, unlimited drinks and just relaxing! The boat is very nice and comfortable! Book now! I’m glad I went with them! ❤️

A Perfect Day on the Water around St. John

Our group had the best time on Take It Easy. Captain Alex and Crew Danielle created a perfect day on the water for us! They were very knowledgeable of the area and could not have been any nicer or considerate. Our stop for lunch was at Pizza Pi which was the perfect spot for the day given the wind and water conditions. The boat was immaculately cleaned and well appointed with everything needed for the day. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to see the beauty of the USVI from the water.

Excellent experience

We had an amazing day with Capt. Alex and first mate Danielle. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. They picked us up in Cruz Bay and we ended up circling the island of St. John while stopping to snorkel at various sites. The bar was fully stocked and Danielle was quick to fill our empty glasses. We went to the floating taco bar Lime Out and had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend a day charter on this boat and request Alex and Danielle!!

A special day in the Caribbean

We have found that the best way to truly appreciate the Caribbean is from the water and on a private charter. Our family has done this before, yet we truly believe "take it easy" was an upgrade from our previous experiences. We were in the very capable hands of Dana (captain) and Brooke (first mate). Before setting out, we sat down with Dana and plotted out our day in order to customize our experience. Snorkeling at spy glass/indians/caves, lunch at Pirate's Bight on Norman Island, a trip over to Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke, back to Maho Bay off St. John for sea turtles. A truly awesome experience that I hope many take advantage of when visiting St. Thomas!

Made us feel like rock stars.

The captain and crew made the day fun and unforgetable. They took us to all the fun spots for snorkeling, swimming, siteseeing, and just relaxing. Do not book elsewhere this is the best team to have an adventure with.

USVI/BVI

What a fabulous full day on “Take it Easy II” Captain Dana and Danielle are top notch! Best day of our vacation! Fun in the ☀️!

BEST BOATING TRIP

We had the pleasure of a day trip with Capt Alex and Brooke.
We did a burial at sea for my cousins moms ashes, and although very emotional, the crew was accomodating in every way. We had the best time during a difficult time in our lives. I highly recommend these guys, for a fun day of snorkling, BVI, and total relaxation.
Thanks for being awesome, and compassionate to our needs.

INCREDIBLE DAY CRUISING THE ISLANDS.

Our party of 10 had a magnificent day on the water aboard Take It Easy 2. Captain Alex and Brooke were highly knowledgeable, very engaging, funny and easy going. We began the day with the boat picking us up on St. John. Alex offered some great ideas for what we could do for the day but also made it clear that it was "our boat" for the day and we could do what we wanted. After hitting some great snorkeling, Alex took us over to BVI where we had lunch on Norman Island and cruised around some more until finally hitting a "private" island where we explored some more. Both Alex and Brooke taught us so much of the rich history of the islands. The day was filled with good music, perfect weather, refreshing drinks, incredible snorkeling and breath taking views. I would highly recommend chartering Take it Easy if you are looking for a unique day of fun on the seas with a great crew. Make sure to ask Brooke to make you a Rum punch!

Best Boat Charter!

Take It Easy Boat Charters is the best! This was our second time using them while staying on St. Thomas. (The first being five years ago with Captain Dana.) Captain Dana set us up for the day with Alex and Brooke with our group of 6 (myself, husband, two daughters 21 & 23, one of their boyfriends, and my Dad, 82). Captain Dana greeted us as we were headed to our boat (he was taking another group out on another boat). Alex and Brooke really were amazing and made our day perfect! From start to finish, they both were professional, yet very easy going and eager to show us a good time. They asked us what we were interested in doing/seeing and made it happen. We chose to cruise around St. John and snorkel in a few spots, and we got to see a few sea turtles while doing doing so. We stopped at a taco boat called Lime Out with the most delicious tacos. Lime Out staff came right on our boat, took our order, and brought the food to us! We stopped at a couple of beaches to walk around and explore, and did more swimming and snorkeling. Brooke put out a nice morning and afternoon snack, and made the most delicious rum punch and poured it all day, whenever we wanted it. We loved chatting with Alex and Brooke the entire day, and doing and seeing things we loved, and just relaxing. Our family owns a boat, so we really appreciated that we could just sit back and relax while they took care of us! We really can’t say enough about Alex and Brooke, and Take It Easy boat charters. We recommend them to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Excellent Day

We have chartered with Dana and Take It Easy many times. We chartered last week and had Capt. Alex and Mate Danielle and has a FANTASTIC day!! They were knowledgeable and easy going and very fun! Can not recommend them highly enough!! It was a magical day!

 “Sunset cruise”

My friends and I came down to St Thomas to explore and relax for a week. It was recommended that we utilize the Take It Easy for a sunset cruise and we were not disappointed. The captain and crew were amazing and knowledgeable about the islands. The ship was top notch and the views we saw were breathtaking to say the least. This trip was worth every penny and I’ll for sure be back the next time I’m here.

“Absolutely perfect!”

After doing a lot of research, we decided to charter with Take It Easy to take a bachelorette party of 11 girls to the BVI for a day trip, and we were not disappointed! We went all the way to the Baths and then back to Jost Van Dyke, all the while traveling in style. Kevin was our wonderful captain and helped us plan a great trip. And Brooke, our incredible first mate, was the star of the day! She always made sure we had her awesome rum punch in our hands, obliged our excessive picture requests, and even joined us for lunch at Hendo’s. We could not have had a more perfect trip — I could not recommend Take It Easy enough!

“Experience the Virgin Island beauty...”

Experience the Virgin Island beauty you can only see from the water aboard the Take It Easy. Our travel group of 12 adults has spent 3 different vacation days aboard this vessel and they are some of our favorite days while staying on St John. We spent one day with Dana two years ago and loved it so much we opted for two days this year which we spent with with Alex and Brooke. ALL are first class captains, crew and hosts. We love the history and facts they share about the scenery as you weave in and out of the USVI and BVI’s. Whether going to snorkel around St John, bar hoping to Jost Van Dyke or Pirates Bight, having lunch at Willy T or taking in the natural beauty at the Virgin Gorda Baths you will have a day to remember. Don’t forget your passport if going to the BVI’s! You won’t regret your decision to spend your day aboard the Take It Easy.
