    Review of: Turtle Cove Catamaran Snorkel & Sail Adventure at Little Buck Island St. Thomas
    Great and wonderful!
    My favorite part was exploring turtle cove and seeing all the wildlife. We even saw a good size barracuda! Little buck island had some food as well. The deckhands were top-notch!

    Review of: Swim w/Turtles at St. John, Pizza Pi & Sunset Sail
    The BEST part of our trip!
    I cannot recommend this trip enough!! We had an amazing, up-close swim with dolphins, and saw incredible sea turtles and a crazy big sting ray. The corral we saw while snorkeling was beautiful and they even directed us to a very cool shipwreck while we swam. It must be said that Tyler, Dalton, and Maeve are awesome! We had a wonderful time and the crew are so smart, fun, and super knowledgable. It would not have been the same experience without them so if you can, definitely get aboard their vessel (Sail Pending 2).

    This will be the highlight of your USVI trip. These folks really commit to their guests having the best possible experience. A+, 5 stars. - Kris, 6/26/22

    Review of: US Virgin Islands Beach Bar and Island Hop - Full Day!
    Great Day Trip
    Highly, highly recommend this trip. My wife and I were visiting for our one year anniversary and this was a fun way to get a tour of the area by boat. Jimmy and Amanda were awesome guides, fun to be around, and kept the drinks coming. Pizza Pi was surprisingly really good for being made on a sailboat, which says a lot from a couple coming from NY/NJ. We were able to snorkel around a sunken sailboat and saw a few sea turtles there, also drove by the infamous Epstein island. We had multiple groups with us and quickly made friends with all of them, everyone had a great time. Would definitely do it again if we went back.

    Review of: 50' Luxury Yacht. Private Full or Half Day Catamaran Snorkel, & Beach Experience
    A unique and awesome experience
    First time that we chartered a catamaran for just our party. Usually we would just buy tickets to a packed catamaran. The difference was amazing! Had a great time Captain Jason and his matie Alison made all the difference. Friendly, informative, and Alison was a great bartender! Looking forward to our next visit and chartering again!

    Great trip with Captain Mark and mate Rusty. Good sailing, good food, good snorkeling locations. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
    Also did a sunset cruise with Cape Alex and Rusty before this day trip and enjoyed it, too!

    Review of: Private Luxury Catamaran Yacht. Full or Half Day Charter - Sail, Beach, Snorkel.
    Highlight of Our Trip!
    The catamaran sail was our favorite activity on our trip to the Virgin Islands in April. Captain Rick and Hans were great hosts. We left from the harbor in St. Thomas. We snorkeled at two reefs near Buck Island, saw manta rays, sea turtles, barracuda, and numerous colorful fish. Our biggest highlight, though, was the Mama dolphin and her baby who came up to our boat and showed off for us on the return trip just outside the harbor. The day was absolutely beautiful!

    Review of: Half Day Sail and Snorkel with the Turtles
    Great Day Trip
    Could not recommend this day trip more! We loved it because it combined a snorkeling excursion with a unique sailing experience as opposed to the big passenger boats. No better way to set out in the Caribbean than on a sailboat. Captain Mike and Nikki were awesome to hang with and were super knowledgable about the islands and everything we saw in the water. We also liked it because it was a little over 3 hours and didn't kill the whole day, so you can still get some other sightseeing in or some time to relax on a beach somewhere. The rum punch was also great, Nikki kept our glasses full the entire way back! Would definitely consider doing again in the future.
