BIG BLUE - Virgin Island Powerboat and Sail Excursions and Snorkeling Trips
Big Blue


Other than Weather or Travel related Issues we have a 48 hour cancellation policy for a full refund. Let's face it. The weather is sometimes against us. The good thing about the Virgin Islands is that we have a pretty constant breeze. This means that showers are isolated and tend to last from 5 to 15 minutes. Nothing serious. But occasionally a system stalls over the VIs and it just rains. Or sometimes strong winds whip the sea-state into something less than friendly.

Since your comfort and enjoyment are our primary concern, we don't want you to feel forced into something that may make you miserable.

Give us a call first, and we'll give your our opinion of what the day will be like. Rain or shine we'd love to show you a fantastic day. But the final decision will be yours. You won't be charged for last minute weather cancellations.
