"Double D Charters took 14 of us out on a boat for an amazing day of snorkeling and fun! The whole-day charters made five snorkeling stops, including to the stern of the famous wreck of the RMS Rhone, which sank in the late 1800s. We enjoyed a fun lunch on the floating pirate ship, "The William Thornton," or, more commonly, "The Willie T." When we were not eating the great conch fritters, we were jumping into the water off the top of the Willie T. We saw tons of tropical fish, sting rays, and even an octopus! Very highly recommended!"

"Check with Double D charters, they are very good, and have the best rates. Here is their website: www.doubledbvi.com"

"And I think the best snorkeling trips are run by Dave, whose business is the "Double D." Corrin, a Swiss woman who works for Dave, took a group I was in on a great snorkeling trip to Jost Van Dyke. The highlight was a snorkel at Monkey Point (off Guana Island) where I saw: a school of about 15 tarpon, each of them about five feet long; a sea turtle; many different kinds of fish; and thousands of minnow-like fish in a school so thick you had to push beyond them to see anything in front or below you."

"They charter all throughout the BVI, including Anegada. Captain Dave and his crew are known for their friendly service, and will customize your experience to the size and needs of your group."

"Don't miss a chance to take a snorkeling trip with Double D Charters-it was a wonderful day. We left feeling relaxed and like we had had a real get away vacation. We would definitely consider returning..."

"We took our guests on an all day cruise with Double D Charters in Virgin Gorda. They did a GREAT job and I recommend them highly. We stopped at four snokeling spots including the stern of the famous wreck of the RMS Rhone. Lunch was at the floating pirate-ship restaurant, The Willie T. The picture below right is of "The Caves." A great diving and snorkeling spot."

They do group trips to Anegada and are great. If you e-mail, they respond quickly."

"DoubleD is the only charter company we recommend for our guests and of course the one we use also. Dave and Corin really are the best!"

"I highly recommend David and Double D Charters. We have gone with him a couple of times. He is a great guy, a lot of fun, and will show you a good time. Not to mention just nice to look at."

"We went on a day power snorkel charter last may (with Double 'D')... had a great time. We will be going with them at least once."

"We didn't do a day "sail" but we took a powerboat trip with them from Trellis Bay up to Anegada. It was a great time, Corin was a wonderful tour guide, and we had an excellent trip."

"Sarah, I've never been out with David, Corin or the others, however, they are one of the best day charter operations around. Merely do a Search using the words "Double D" for a 3 months period and you will find tons of posts from other TTOL members... all are very positive!"

"Boat Charter: Just in case you decide to take a fun day trip for snorkeling and seeing other islands, try Double D Charters with Capt. Dave. There are 2 basic trips; one to Anegada ($850 for 8 people) and Norman Island ($750). Both are equally fun. In rougher days you would not want to go to Anegada. (C) 284 499 2479"
