"Long Distance" provides full-day and half-day charters for island guests. Full-day charters include 1-2 snorkel stops, a lunch of deli-style sandwiches, and refreshments of water, soft drinks, beer, and our delicious rum punch. Half-day charters include 1 snorkel stop, a light snack, and refreshments of water, soft drinks, beer and rum punch.

Exclusive sails and special charters into British Virgin Island waters are also available Monday through Saturday. These charters include a sail to Tortola (the largest of the British Virgin Islands) where you will clear customs, then you have a choice to either do two snorkel stops, one to "The Indians", have lunch on board and then to "The Caves" or "The Bight" off Norman Island.  Or if you prefer to just do one snorkel stop you can choose one of the above and then the Captain and Crew will take you on the short sail to the infamous "Willy T", a floating "pirate ship", for a casual, fun afternoon and lunch.  

As a benefit of sailing out of Coral Bay, "Long Distance" offers snorkeling stops to unspoiled locations off the East End of St. John. The snorkeling stops chosen by the crew are on remote coral reefs that are healthy, vibrant, and abound with colorful fish and interesting sea life.  While the vessel has snorkel gear on board, guests are encouraged to bring their own gear to insure proper fit and maximum enjoyment of their snorkeling experience.  

The owners, and your hosts aboard "Long Distance", Rick and Robin Gallup, have been sailing the waters of the Virgin Islands since 1995. Rick is a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and Robin is a registered nurse. Originally from Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire and, more recently from Sugarloaf, Maine, St. John has captured their love of the mountains and the sea. They look forward to sharing the beauty of the islands and abundant marine life with you.
