If your idea of a perfect holiday involves sunshine, calm seas, and good company, it might be time to celebrate island-style. Whether you’re planning a Thanksgiving getaway or looking to ring in the New Year somewhere tropical, a private charter with Salty Daze USVI offers a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate on the water.
Forget crowded dining rooms and winter coats! How about swimsuits, snorkel gear, and a glass of Prosecco as you cruise through the Virgin Islands? Not too shabby.
A New Take on the Holidays
Holidays on the water are all about slowing down, relaxing, and being present with your favorite people. With Salty Daze, you can leave the planning and driving to your captain while you enjoy the best views in the Caribbean.
Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or your favorite adventure partner, you can make the day completely your own. Cruise to hidden family-friendly beaches, swim with sea turtles, or drop anchor near tacos and tropical drinks. Every trip is customized, every moment designed to fit your vibe.
While we’re closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, everything surrounding those holidays is fair game for fun. The week of Thanksgiving is one of the best times to enjoy perfect weather and calm seas, while the days leading up to Christmas feel extra magical in the islands.
Thanksgiving, the Island Way
Who says Thanksgiving needs to happen around a dining table?
Spend the week of Thanksgiving island hopping, snorkeling through coral reefs, and toasting to everything you’re thankful for with our signature Guava Rum Lemonade. Some guests bring a picnic aboard, while others pick up takeout from local favorites before heading out.
If you’d rather skip the prep altogether, stop at Pizza Pi in Christmas Cove or hop aboard our shuttle to Lime Out in Coral Bay for an unforgettable “boat-to-table” meal. The hardest part will be deciding what you’re more grateful for — the food, the view, or the company.
A Very Salty Christmas in Coral Bay
The holidays are extra special around Coral Bay, where Salty Daze created the first-ever Coral Bay Boat Parade — A Very Salty Christmas. Now in its third year, the event has become a favorite island tradition, complete with boats decked out in lights, a snowball fight hosted by Dazey Drive In, and a visit from Santa himself handing out gifts to kids along the shore.
What started as a way to create lasting memories for our own family has grown into one of Coral Bay’s most anticipated events, bringing the community together for a night of holiday cheer and twinkling lights on the water.
Even if you can’t make it to the parade, that same festive spirit flows through every December charter. The islands come alive with Christmas trees on sandy beaches, lights strung between palms, and a warm, easygoing energy that’s impossible not to love.
Make It a Celebration to Remember
Every Salty Daze charter is designed to feel effortless and personal. Here are a few ideas to make your holiday even more special:
- Add Prosecco or Irie Pops for a festive twist
- Bring a custom playlist for your group’s favorite songs
- Upgrade to a floating lounge platform for relaxing in style
- Plan a sunset cruise to end the day with island magic
Whether you’re a small family, a couple looking for something romantic, or a group of friends ready to celebrate, we’ll help you plan the perfect day from start to finish.
