When it comes to island hopping in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, there’s no better boat than a World Cat Power Catamaran. Currently, 10 different St. John based charter companies have at least one World Cat boat in their fleet.

Island Roots Charters, Love City Excursions, On the Sea Charters, Fly Away Charters, Palm Tree Charters, Charter Seahorse, Captain Jug Charters, Ocean Runner Power Boat Rentals, Voodoo Charters and one other St. John boat charter company (that specifically asked not to be named), ALL utilize the same boat brand!

I’d say that’s a clear sign World Cat Boats are the most popular charter boat choice on St. John!

A Better Way to Boat in the VI

The World Cat motto is ironically, “A BETTER WAY TO BOAT.” Safety, comfort, stability, speed, efficiency, versatility and reliability are just some of the features that set this boat apart from the rest. The unique catamaran design offers an unmatched boating experience when exploring the beautiful Virgin Islands.

So, whether you want to snorkel, fish, bar hop or simply just cruise the islands… there’s no better boat for your St. John excursion.

And not to toot our own horn, but Island Roots Charters was the first World Cat Power Catamaran to operate out of Cruz Bay, St. John back in 2011! Since then, we’ve upgraded from our small 25’ World Cat to three luxurious 32’ World Cat Power Catamarans. Various Virgin Island boat excursion companies have followed suit… So much so that one company (who specifically asked not to be named) even operates with the exact same three World Cat boats. Goes to show just how popular the boat brand has become!

What sets us apart…

Even with the best St. John Charter boat, you need an equally as amazing captain! That’s where Island Roots sets itself apart from the rest of the St. John boat rentals.

Our captains have years (some even a lifetime!) of experience around the local waters and will be able to provide valuable insight to your day. It’s not by coincidence that we spend more time on the sea than any where else. We do it because it’s what we love, what we know, and what we do best!
