Awesome experience! Captain Mark, First mate Rusty, and the other two couples we sailed with became fast friends. We made three stops to snorkel seeing a wide selection of fish and coral, rays, and sea turtles. Rusty was right in the water with us directing us to points of interest including a shipwreck and sunken motorcycle. We had a delicious grilled chicken and pasta lunch, snacks, and island drinks. A truly fun and memorable adventure. We give this experience our highest recommendation.

We sailed as two couples and ended up being the only ones on the boat that day which was great. The views were outstanding and we did sail the majority of the time. We went to two snorkel spots, Little St James and Lovongo Bay. Lunch was good and if we asked for a drink I will say it was delivered. Rusty was a very friendly, informative First Mate. Our downside was Captain Mark honestly. He got a call from his wife towards the beginning of the day. Apparently their washer went out and from then on his phone usage was what all four of us felt was excessive. He was on his phone a lot. He was very disengaged from us , our needs and most conversation. He would answer questions if we asked but there was no info freely given. Overall the four of us and Rusty made it an awesome day. We did understand the sail to be from 9-4 but they took us back at 3 and said they had a sunset sail that evening. We know they have a ton of great reviews and maybe it was an off day for him.

Mark and Rusty were a great duo taking us for our day sail on St. Thomas last week. Captain Mark was professional, informative with added humor to boot. He was well versed and knowledgeable about the island and handled his sail boat with great expertise. Rusty was a welcome addition and also knew a lot about island life on St. Thomas and very qualified as a first mate, sailor and bartender. We especially liked the limited amount of guests on the boat. Large group charters are not for us. 6 guests were perfect. The snorkeling was good and the sailing was nice. I've been on many where the sails don't go up and we're motoring the whole time. We happened to get some nice wind to take us in the direction we were headed. Lunch on the boat was lovely, a tablecloth and cloth napkins added to the beautiful ambiance. We visited the waters at Lovango for snorkeling and St John for snorkeling and a little beach time. Such a lovely day. And the price was definitely right. Book this trip. You won't be sorry!

Captain Mark and crewman, Rusty, were great—knowledgeable, fun, and helpful. We went to amazing locations that weren’t crowded by the large cruise ship excursions. Our semi-private charter was limited to six guests which allowed for a special experience. Highly recommend this charter!!!!

Some lifelong memories made on this day sail cruise! I realize that a favorable wind cannot be guaranteed, but it was perfect on our trip and Captain Mark and his mate Rusty were eager to get the sails up as soon as we motored out of the harbor! We sailed, snorkeled, ate a wonderful lunch and then sailed some more! Great sail, great food, great company!

Sailing in the Virgin Islands was always a dream of mine, so my spouse booked us on an all day sail.
We joined two other couples and spent the Day snorkeling in two places and having a delicious grilled lunch. Just a perfect day!

One of the best snorkeling trips I’ve been on in my life! Our group consisted of 6 people, 3 couples. Our captain Mark and his co-captain Rusty were absolutely fantastic. They had great senses of humor and were very informational and friendly. Overall the environment on the boat was relaxed and happy! We saw sea turtles, sting rays, octopus, and a multitude of different kinds of fish! The food they provided was delicious and the endless drinks were FANTASTIC! We visited 3 different locations and each of them were beautiful and amazing. I cannot recommend these guys enough! 10000/10!!!

My family and I went on this excursion in February 2024 and we are still not over how perfect of a day it was. Mark and Rusty were the perfect hosts for our sailing and snorkeling tour. We were able to go to two snorkeling spots and one had so many sea turtles as you can see in my pictures. Neither spot was crowded at all! The lunch was fantastic and so were the drinks. Pain killers, margs, beer, honestly whatever you wanted!!
I’ve been on many excursions around the Virgin Islands and this is by far the best one.
5 star experience !! ⭐️

Why doesn’t anyone REALLY say how treacherous driving is on this island. Driving on the left is the LEAST of one’s problems. Vehicles, oftentimes drive over the median lines of extremely narrow 2-lane roads with no guard rails. The steep inclines on this mountainous island make the worst roller coaster you’ve ever been on look flat! Walking is impossible except in downtown busy Cruz Bay. While the beaches are stunningly beautiful, getting there is not for the faint hearted. My husband was at one time a NYC cab driver and even he was stressed especially once when the car was backsliding when trying to climb an outrageously steep incline.
Our advice is if you rent a villa or condo, don’t rent near “Jacobs Ladder,” ask about roads near your accommodation, or stay in a hotel and let the taxi drivers take the risks. They’re used to it.
