** Sporty & Affordable Catamaran 'BAD DOG' **
BUDGET SAILING CATAMARAN ‘BAD DOG’
This sporty catamaran is the fleet’s budget/no frills sailing option, but perhaps also the most exhilarating!
Half Day (3 hours)- starting at $499
Sunset Sails (1.5 HOURS)- starting at $300
Max: 6 guests for day charters and sunset sails
Departs from Beach at Westin Resort in St. John (we will give directions to public access if not a resort guest)
This charter option is best suited for budget-minded families or small groups seeking front row seats to the water/action. Yes, we call the nets the salt water acclimation seats for a reason.
Catamaran BAD DOG requires agility and open mind to basic comforts (NO SHADE & NO BATHROOM). This requires special acknowledgement consent when booking online. A touch of adventure-loving tenacity & attitude required for this boat in comparison to the other boats in our fleet. There is shade and we do sail. What else is important?
BAD DOG is an almost 30’ version of a performance beach catamaran featured in world class sailing and racing. Think Hobie Cat on steroids (no, we don’t fly the hulls though—safety first),
No Frills, but a lot of fun!

What’s Included:
We are the CHEAPEST sailing catamaran in town for small private groups. We keep the rates sooooooo low and sooooo affordable for Catamaran ‘BAD DOG’ by taking the guess-work out of the equation (code for please use the booking calendar to reserve your day and don’t email us about this budget option unless you are okay with paying an additional $50 booking fee—we price it low for online booking to keep our admin time/costs at a minimum just like SPIRIT AIRLINES:
You rent the boat
We provide the captain & cooler with a 10lb bag of ice (NOT sufficient to chill warm beverages)
You bring everything else including smiles: (towels, snorkel gear, drinks, snacks, non-spray reef-safe sunscreen)
Where can BAD DOG go?
First & Foremost—WE SAIL!!!! We sail safely and leisurely, so ‘BAD DOG’ is about the experience of sailing and not the destination as much.
‘BAD DOG’ charters in US WATERS ONLY — NO LIME OUT & NO JVD/BVI (both are too far).
Some sample, weather-contingent, destinations include (may be mutually exclusive as in pick one focus), but are not limited to:
Christmas Cove (Weather contingent based on tide & group dynamic)
Lovango Cay
Henley Cay (Virgin Islands National Park)
Caneel Bay beaches (swim in from mooring)
GRATUITIES:
Suggested hospitality & service industry standard gratuity not included in listed rates, but is expected and added to all private charters—especially since we keep rates so low—please be generous to your captai/crew! We’d rather you find another activity elsewhere rather than not be generous to the Captain & Crew. We are bending over backwards to offer this boat as a low-cost activity for budget-minded travelers while not making a reasonable profit at all, but we do it so everyone gets the opportunity to sail and enjoy St. John from the water! Just FYI—it costs more to go on a guided paddleboarding experience than it does for a comparable sail on this boat. An automatic 20% is added to all private charters/groups even if paying separately.
PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES:
Requires agility and open mind to basic comforts (NO SHADE & NO BATHROOM). This requires special acknowledgement consent when booking online.
