PLAN AHEAD, there is a lot of moving parts and time involved in coming from STT. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time. It’s a great way to come to St. John, go to Lime Out, and then have your taxi driver show you around St. John!

We have BOTH! There are three different types of boats. Per person on SALT+LIME Express, small private trips on Knot E Buoys or Salt Shaker, or large private trips on our Salt Decks.

Only our per person trips are dropped off at Lime Out. Passengers on per person trips are limited to ages 6+ and all guests must bring our yellow snorkel belts with them. Private trips have their Captains and boat stay near the guests. Safety is our number one priority and we want to ensure you have a great experience.

  • PER PERSON Trips on SALT+LIME:
  • 10:30-12:45pm
  • 11:45-1:45pm
  • 12:45-2:45pm
  • 1:45-3:45pm
  • 2:45-4:45pm
  • PRIVATE TRIPS:
  • 10:15-12:30, 1-3pm,  and 3:30-5:30pm.

Lily pads are available on a first come, first serve basis. Lime Out opens at 11am, allowing guests to swim over from their boats at 10:45. Send your fastest swimmer first (think Olympic style sprint) and you should be set. Floats and seats at the bar are constantly opening up, if you wait and watch they will become available.

  • Per Person trips: We will do our best to get you seats on a lilypad or swim up bar. Guests are frequently changing over so there is usually always space available
  • Private trips: You can order tacos to the boat, for a $10 fee. Or, as mentioned above, you can watch and wait for one to open up. Private trips are great for groups when some people want to swim over and some want to stay on the boat. We have plenty of shade and spots to enjoy tacos on the boats. Plus, we’ve got saddle floats, snorkel belts (for flotation, not snorkeling) and on SALT DECK, our WATERSLIDE.

No. It is a working harbor and LOTS of boat traffic around Lime Out. If you would like to snorkel, we recommend a half or full day charter. On a half day, we can do 1 or 2 snorkeling spots before Lime Out. On a full day, we can do 3-4 spots and LimeOut.

Cancellations WITHIN 7 days of trip will NOT receive a refund but you can try and reschedule, if available, for another timeslot (you must do so before your original scheduled ticket time). If there is no availability, tickets will not be refunded.

We do not cancel for rain. If Lime Out is open, we are open.

If we have to close for unsafe weather (Captains or LO discretion), tickets will be rescheduled or refunded.
