How many?

The "Semper Fi" is a three cabin layout.  The two primary guest cabins are on the port side.  Each cabin has a queen size bed and a private head complete with shower.  The port forward cabin is connected to an additional berth forward of the bed in the forepeak.  This is the "Kid's Locker" and is perfect for two small to medium children or one large child or adult.  In addition the salon area seating can convert into a king size bed.

A question we are often asked is:  How many people can she hold?  The ideal is two couples (one couple in each cabin) or two couples with 1 or 2 children sharing the kid's locker in the port forepeak berth. If you don't mind a more "cozy" arrangement the salon area can be made into a bed each night, however the couple that gets that area has to share a head with one of the two guest cabins and everyone loses a little privacy.  However with a little flexibility and cooperation it works just fine.  By Coast Guard regulation we are restricted to 6 guests.  Six guests plus the crew still leaves more than enough room for everyone to have the space they need to enjoy themselves.
 


Scuba Diving Rendezvous?

Semper Fi can arrange convenient scuba diving rendezvous with PADI certified scuba shops for an additional fee.  The majority of the rendezvous dives will pick you up and drop you off from the Semper Fi.  There's no need to "hang out" at the dive shops all day.  Since you build your itinerary with us, one or many dives can be arranged throughout the week.  Your PADI dive card or equivalent internationally recognized dive card is required by the shops (no exceptions).  If you are not a certified diver, there is a PADI "discover scuba" session that can be provided from the PADI dive shops.

Spa Rendezvous?

Semper Fi can arrange convenient spa rendezvous for singles or couples (spa fees addition).  There are various spa settings including ocean front cabanas.  We will drop you off, pick you up, and make your reservations.  We can also arrange special honeymoon or anniversary spa packages with champagne with fruit.

Flights?

You will fly into the St. Thomas Airport (STT Airport Code). Semper Fi will pick you up and drop you off at near by marina.  There are many flights from the United States, Canada and Europe.  Airlines include:  American, US Airways, Cape Air, Air Canada, Caribbean Airlines, Continental, Delta, Air France, Liat, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Passports?

Passports are not required for United States citizens to enter the USVI.  If you do not have a valid passport, your birth certificate and another form of ID are required.

Currency?

US Dollars are the currency of the USVI.  Major Credit Cards accepted at most places.

What to pack?

Soft luggage only- please no hard suitcases.  Try to limit your luggage to one bag per person.  Your packing should include: sunglasses, hat, swimsuit, shorts, light shirts and maybe a long sleeve shirt or sweater for cool evenings.  Most restaurants in the islands allow casual dress for dining.  Most of our guests find they have packed too much, so from experience put back half of what you got out and pack light.  Please, no black or hard-soled shoes or sandals on board.

Make sure you bring a camera, sunscreen, and toiletries.  We have plenty of snorkel gear on board, but if you are an odd size or if have your favorite mask, fin and snorkel please feel free to bring it along.

Soft Drinks, beer, wine, mixed drinks?

We stock sufficient soft drinks, gatorade and juices along with a limited house supply of beer, wine and spirits on board for our guests.  Specialty drinks can be provisioned as a separate charge or you may bring your own.  This is a "fun" boat, however excessive drinking or drunkenness is not permitted aboard.
