Yes. For all international trips, we must receive a clear, unobstructed photo of the passport photo page for every passenger at least 72 hours before your scheduled charter. Passport images should be sent by email to info@calypsovi.com or by using our submission form here.

Please note:

• If passports are not received 72 hours prior to your trip, a $25 fee per missing passenger passport will be charged.

• Bookings made within 72 hours of departure require passports to be submitted immediately at the time of booking, or charges will apply.

• All passports must be submitted from the email address on file and must be provided together in one file or email.

• If we do not receive all required passports, we will unfortunately be unable to allow you to board for your trip.

This process ensures smooth check-in with customs and avoids delays or cancellations.

Bad Kitty and Calypso Charters is based out of sunny St John. Our Bad Kitty trips pick up in both Cruz Bay St John and American Yacht Harbor St Thomas. Calypso (unless it is a private trip) only picks up in Cruz Bay at The International Boat Dock. Private trips can be picked up at American Yacht Harbor St Thomas, Sapphire bay St Thomas and Cruz Bay St John.

For trips leaving from the International Boat Dock, we suggest parking at The Lumberyard (pay-to-park) on St. John or Sunshine Parking in Red Hook on St. Thomas.

Bad Kitty 1 and 2 can both comfortably and legally hold 32 people. We try to cap our open trips at 28 guests to maximize comfort.  Calypso can hold 30 people and we try to cap her trips at 25 people for maximum comfort. Tropicat has a max of 6 guests and Cat5 has a maximum of 12.

The swim into the Baths is about 50 yards. Our experienced crew will help any and all non-swimmers or those who are uncomfortable swimming in. On days with rough weather and seas we may take a Taxi to the top of the Baths and walk down.
