Relaxing sail

5.00Such an amazing relaxing day. Captain Ryan and his daughter were the best hosts on their beautiful boat. Both very knowledgeable about the islands. We saw sea turtles, sting rays, squid, and all types of fish at the beach area they took us snorkeling. Great snacks, amazing rum punch as well. We will definitely sail with them again. Highly recommend.
Perfect way to explore the islands

5.00Capt. Ryan is the best! The day trip on Liberty was the highlight of an amazing week. We loaded up at American Yacht Club and sailed over to Caneel Bay. We snorkeled at possibly the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. I am a sailor and the fact we shut the engines off and actually sailed was great. Capt Ryan was extremely fun and friendly always happy to answer any questions the guests had. His crew Roxie made an amazing lunch finished off with their own Pum Runch. We capped off the day by going to watch Capt. Ryan's band, Lourdes and the Switches, play at Iggies. He clearly is an extremely talented guy and that day made a lifelong memory for us.
We had a great sail to...

5.00We had a great sail to St. John and back. Captain Ryan and Halina were very nice and knowledgeable of the area. The wind was quite strong so we were only able to let the jib out partially, but being out on the water was a wonderful experience. Halina also made us some fabulous rum punch drinks after our snorkeling excursion. I recommend booking this trip!
Perfect Cruise Excursion

5.00I have been to the Caribbean many times and have taken multiple excursions. This excursion was by far the BEST I've ever taken! It was truly a perfect day. From start to finish we had a fantastic time. If you are arriving by cruise ship please do not hesitate to do this tour. It is easy to take a taxi from the port to the boat dock. Your taxi driver will be happy to pick you up upon your return to return you to your ship.
A beautiful private sail

5.00The catamaran was perfect for our private group, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful sail from St. Thomas to St. John’s. Our captain took us to a beautiful beach. We were able to swim with turtles and we saw a stingray.

5.00Captain Ryan was awesome! My friends and I had the best experience and it is a trip you don’t want to miss! We got to snorkel with sea turtles and go to some of the most beautiful quiet beaches! The food and drinks were also fantastic!
Amazing Experience!

5.00This was absolutely the highlight of my trip to St. Thomas! The service was amazing and the boat was beautiful. Ryan was incredible, he taught us all about the boat, pointed out the islands we were passing, and even found sea turtles for us to see while snorkeling. The food on board was delicious, and eating lunch with that view was unforgettable. It was great for groups and the entire experience was worth every penny. Overall, this was an amazing trip and I would absolutely go on it again. If you’re visiting, don’t hesitate to book because it truly made our vacation!

5.00We loved our experience with Captain Ryan! There were 6 of us on the trip -- 4 adults plus 2 kids (8 years old and 4 years old). Captain Ryan and his crew person, Roxi, were very friendly and accommodating, especially with the kids. The trip was as advertised and totally worth the price tag. It was the highlight of our trip! Thanks, Captain Ryan and Roxi!
