• 5Amazing!

  Captain Mannix was fantastic! He took our group of 10 to all the great spots before the bigger tour groups came. We saw a bunch of sea turtles, fish, and jellyfish. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and hospitable. We also had kids in our group (ages ranging from 3-10) and he was wonderful with them all! The only negative was we booked the half day and wish we would have done the full day. Highly recommend this tour!

• 5Great experience

  We had such a fun, relaxing time with Captain Mannix. He had everything we needed- towels, drinks, etc on board when we got there, tailored the day to what we would like to do, was very knowledgeable with the area, did a great job of maximizing our time, and was great with all ages. We really enjoyed this excursion and would definitely book with this company again.

• 5Best way to see BVI!

  Maddox gave us a phenomenal tour of BVI for the time we had (half-day port for our cruise)! We booked it for just our group of 8 friends. We went to a spot to snorkel for sea turtles (saw some!), stopped on a private beach for some great photos, got a drink at Willy T’s floating bar, and then snorkled around caves. Maddox had the ship fully stocked with alcoholic beverages and water and had all the gear we needed plus towels. He was informative, friendly, funny, and kept us safe. The boat was great and we felt very comfortable with him driving. Price was very reasonable for the awesome experience. We wish we would have had a full day with him and will definitely be back!

• 5Unforgettable days on the water — book this boat!

  We booked Apotheoseas with Quintessence Charters for four full days for our family of 10 — and it was the best decision of our entire BVI trip. Over those four days we saw everything: The Baths, Jost Van Dyke, the Indians, Norman Island and the caves, Anegada, Cooper Island, etc — every anchorage we'd dreamed about, all timed perfectly to beat the crowds. The boat is a stunning 38ft Rafnar that cuts through chop so smoothly you barely feel the waves, but what truly made the trip was Captain Keanen and Mannix. They knew every corner of the islands, tailored each day to what our group wanted — from the youngest to the oldest — and by day two they felt like family. Wrangling 10 people is no small feat, and they made every day effortless and fun. Everything was included — quality Scuba Pro snorkel gear, floats, towels, reef-safe sunscreen, and a well-stocked cooler. We didn't have to think about a single thing for four straight days. If you're debating between big group tours and a private charter, don't. Four days aboard Apotheoseas with Keanen and Mannix was the perfect way to see the entire BVI.

• 5The best boat tour of all time!

  This was one of the best excursions our family has ever taken. The boat was perfect for cruising around BVI making stops at beautiful islands and coves along the way. The captain, Keenan and first mate, Mannix made the day with their fun conversations mixed in with sodas and their own Painkiller concoctions. It was a tour we’ll never forget!

About Tortola

Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is a hilly Caribbean island of white-sand coves, anchorages and sailing harbours.

Tortola is about 20 km long, steep and green, with a spine of hills running its length and bays on both the north and south coasts. Road Town, the capital, sits on a deep harbour on the south side, where yachts fill the marinas, and the island has long been a base for sailing among the surrounding cays and channels. Sage Mountain National Park protects the highest peak and a patch of remnant rainforest.
