Lunch in St. John combines Caribbean flavors with unforgettable views. The most worthwhile options are the full-day sailing trips, complete with snorkeling stops and open bars. Two standouts shine particularly bright: Lime Out serves excellent tacos right on the water, while Pizza Pi delivers hot, fresh pizzas to hungry sailors. These boat-based lunches come with all the essentials – snorkel gear, parking, and attentive crews who know these waters well.
I love these tours because they transform a simple meal into a proper island adventure. The crews are consistently top-notch, and the food quality matches the spectacular settings. Just remember that boat access requires good mobility, and menu options can be limited.
