How to Snorkel for Pizza in St. Thomas

By: - April 5th, 2017

The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas has launched a unique new experience, the Pizza Pi Snorkel sail.

After a morning spent snorkeling the waters surrounding St. Thomas, guests will enjoy authentically New York-style pizza on the deck of a luxury catamaran, Lady Lynsey.

The Pizza Pi Snorkel Sail takes guests to explore the underwater world of sea turtles, rays and colorful fish.

Following the snorkel, fresh pizzas are delivered directly to the 53-foot catamaran, and are enjoyed with a selection of salads and cocktails from an open bar.

Pizza Pi, the Caribbean’s first pizza boat.

The pizzas arrive via dinghy from Pizza Pi, the Virgin Islands’ first floating pizzeria, accessible only by boat.

The custom-made vessel brings the food truck concept to the waters of St. Thomas, serving a large variety of classic New York-style pizzas.

The five-hour sail leaves every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.

On Thursdays the hotel offers the Pizza Pi Turtle Snorkel Sail, which takes guests to the waters off Buck Island for a chance to discover the largest sea turtle population in St. Thomas.
