What an experience!!! The boat is beautiful and the crew is amazing. Captain Serena was fantastic and even skillfully navigated us to rescue a lost hat! Issac made sure every guest knew the expectations for a safe trip and made sure to check in throughout. Tim was a great tour guide and led our group to 3 sea turtles and 2 string rays!! Anders was a great bartender and seemed to be ready to help with anything. They made lunch at a busy location easy by taking orders ahead of time. Overall an absolutely amazing trip! I will be booking again the next time I am in St. Thomas!

We were originally supposed to go on a tour through our resort but it was canceled and we were re-booked with the VI Cat. The VI Cat became unavailable the day we were moved to and they were extremely communicative in re-booking and even upgraded us to a full day excursion instead of a half day. We were very happy with that and the communication about waivers and reminders. When we arrived Captain Serena and crew were very efficient at getting everyone together and getting us on the boat. A minor squall rolled through when we got to the spot where we were supposed to snorkel but they made sure everyone felt safe and confident going in the water. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to Turtle Cove but we did get to see a shipwreck. Water Island was very nice and relaxing. On the way back they gave everyone temporary tattoos - that was a fun unexpected activity. Overall it was a great day and I would book with the VI Cat again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the fun trip!

We spent today with Issac, Heather and Serina. They were fantastic hosts, guides and boat crew. Serina was an awesome boat Captain and Heather and Issac made sure everyone was taken care of. They made sure we saw turtles and had a great time. Next time we are here will look for the VI CAT tours.
