5.00My husband and I had a sailing trip with Ryan and Patricia. It was the highlight of our trip. He picked us up in St. John and we had a private sailing adventure. Ryan is an expert in the area and he took us to amazing spots to snorkel. It was interesting to learn about the area; Ryan shared stories and knows so much about the Virgin Islands. It was such a dreamy sailing trip. I will be back and would only sail with him again the next time too. Such a delight!

5.00We did a lot of research before booking this trip, and I'm so glad we found Liberty! Captain Ryan was a sailing pro and knew so much about the area. The catamaran was the perfect size for our group of 6 (including kids and grandparents), and the food was really tasty. I really enjoyed the flexibility of the day - we sailed to stunning snorkel spots and were given the option to get in the water or relax on board. Had a beautiful breezy day and the water is amazing. Easy planning/payment, too. Can't wait to get back to USVI!

5.00Captain Ryan and his first mate Patricia were gracious and knowledgeable hosts. The sailing trip was very relaxing and they took us to a beach with a variety of snorkeling and wildlife. They were also very gracious with their time when our cruise was more than an hour late docking. I highly recommend this excursion.

5.00This half day tour is a must if you are visiting St. Thomas! Captain Ryan and his crew make you feel welcomed and right at home. They took us to a water access only beach that was the most stunning place we have ever seen! The snorkeling was incredible as well! We were able to see turtles, stingrays, and tons of fish. Between the crew, scenery and overall experience this hands down was one of the best excursions we have been on!
Memories for life!

5.00Met with Captain Ryan the morning of the sail right on time. He had previously explained the parking, so we were well sorted. We had a lovely sail to St. John and provided yummy snacks beverages along the way. Captain and crew were pleasant company and provided info about St John as well as other islands we could see along the way. He took us to a very secluded beach that we had nearly to ourselves! We swam with turtles, rays, and loads of beautiful fish. The most colorful were along the shallow reef at the edges of the bay. Chips, salsa, music and drinks made the sail back to St Thomas just as nice as the way out even though we were going "home". Highly recommend this trip, captain, and crew. We had a very memorable afternoon!

5.00Captain Ryan and his first mate Cassie were wonderful! Perfectly on time, extremely friendly and accommodating for our group of 3 adults and 4 kids age 10-13. We had incredible weather, sailed to St. John to the most incredible beach that only had one other family there. We were able to swim or dingy on to the beach - the coral reef off the beach was so great - we saw beautiful fish and coral along with a friendly sea turtle and a sting ray!
AMAZING boat day! Highlight of our trip!
