Tropic Powerboat Rentals Guest Comments

Very enjoyable day with Bob and The Tropic Powerboat tour. Our family of 6 adults had a great time circling the entire island on our full day tour. Four snorkel dives and a tour of the coves, harbors and hidden inslets of this incredibly beautiful island. Bob is very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects from history to marine biology to interesting anecdotes about the St. John's famous and infamous residents. We were educated, informed and entertained by his stories and experiences. High on safety, but also big on customer service, Bob made it a priority to meet our interests by customizing the tour. We would recommend Bob to anyone wanting to gain a greater appreciation of St. John and to enjoy a day exploring its many facets. A fun time was had by all.

Dear Captain Bob

Thanks for an unforgettable day on the ocean with you as our captain and guide. All our expectations were fully met and much more.

We had chosen a day trip around the St. John and would like to go snorkeling and to see some of the exotic beaches around the island.

Your knowledge of the island, and the story behind is impressive - everything from pirate depredations in the fairway to how life on the island in 2011, was incredibly exciting to hear about, also were you able to answer all the questions which we asked you on the way.

We can here only give you our best recommendations, and hope that many others may bring up an equally unforgettable day at sea in company with "Captain Bob"

Kind regards Marianne & Frank (Denmark)

"I really enjoyed our boat day and especially appreciated Bob's knowledge of the islands. I felt very safe and had a glorious time.

It was very hard to leave beautiful St. John and return home to 19 degree temps!"

"Just wanted to let you know we are back and expecting snow tomorrow! I already miss the island, the sun and the water. Just wanted to let you know how much we all appreciated your efforts to make it a great vacation. We enjoyed everything we did but our two days with you were by far the best part of the trip. I hope you have a happy new year and I definitely plan to come back."

During our stay on St. John we hired Capt. Bob to take us snorkeling and had a great day! Capt Bob has been on St. John for a long time and showed us a different view of the island along with some magnificant reefs. Lisa from VacationVistas.com has all the contact information on Capt. Bob...would highly recommend him for a new view of St. John.

I highly recommend hiring Capt. Bob (Tropic Powerboat Rentals) to explore St John by water. We snorkled beautiful spots we would never have been able to on our own, plus we had a private guide on all the island folklore. Bob has lived on St John for close to 35 years and is a wealth of information.

"Capt. Bob Conn of Tropic Powerboat Rentals provides a fantastic day of snorkeling. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the ocean floor in the Virgin Islands, and has a wonderful, fast, smooth boat to take you to out-of-the-way snorkeling spots. Particularly impressive is the way he describes what will be found along the reefs and the best ways to navigate through them. In addition to his expertise, he is a genuinely nice person and is extremely safety conscious. The boat holds 6 people, bring your own food and drinks. In seven years of chartering boats for snorkeling, he is far and away the best."

We visited in April 2008;
We brought my parents and 2 teenage daughters, none of whom had ever been to the Caribbean before; so we decided to arrange a catamaran boat trip. Captain Bob..was wonderful, and if we do another boat trip, we would use him again for sure. He is very knowledgeable, not only about great places to snorkel that are "off the beaten path", but also in his history of the island. My husband and I had been to St. John two other times for CEO seminars at the Westin. We learned more about the island on the 7 hours we were on Captain Bob's boat than we had in our other 2 previous trips combined.
My mother does not swim at all. She was a little leery when we had to get in the dinghy to get to Capt. Bob's boat. But once we were in the Catamaran, she felt safe, comfortable and at ease. Capt Bob's life experiences provide him with a wealth of knowledge. He really is very good at what he does and we were thoroughly impressed.
Bob and Lisa come highly recommended by our family!
