5.00Fantastic adventure on BVI! We booked this tour while in BVI for a Disney cruise. We had so much fun sailing on the well maintained catamaran. Our captain and first mate were super fun. Had great music and food at the soggy dollar bar. Highly recommend this company and tour.
Great way to enjoy Jost

5.00Great sail to Jost Van Dyke. Crew went out their way to make sure the trip was memorable. Good food lots of drinks. Our crowd was very subdued though and the crew tried to liven them up with great music. Just not any fault of the crew. You should know the cab ride is fairly long. Yes we would do it again.
Just incredible

5.00This was the highlight of our cruise. This was our 1st excursion we did and it exceeded expectations. The beaches and water looked like a screen saver. The captain and his crew were really friendly and did a great job of entertaining everyone on the boat. I would recommend if you have a chance to see Tortola, to do this excursion.
A picture perfect day!

5.00A great day sailing, swimming and beach hopping! Lunch was delicious… and there were plenty of drinks! The boat had plenty of room to find shade or sit in the sun! Our host and captain went out of their way to ensure everyone had the best day!
Fun day on the Aristocat

5.00Had a wonderful day on the Aristocat. A shuttle picked us up from the cruise port in Tortola and took us to where the boat was docked about 15-20 minutes away. Sailed to a sandy spit to walk on the island and then to Jost Van Dyke. Wish the catamaran pulled in closer to the shore like other boats did in Jost Van Dyke as it was a swim to the shore and then back to the boat a few hours later. Glad the boat provided dry bags for our belongings and purchases on shore because there were needed. Lunch was offered on the boat but it was not good (ham & cheese sandwiches and chicken hot dogs). Eat on Jost Van Dyke. Lots of the drinks on the boat though. Thank you Captain Francesco and Lety (pronounced Lady).
Lovely sailing, gorgeous beaches!

5.00Amazing day with Captain Flo and First Mate Lady! They made sure we were comfortable and relaxed the whole day. Visited Sandy Cay and White Bay and had a lovely day sailing, swimming, and walking the beautiful beaches. Only 8 aboard so it was an intimate trip and we could have asked for anything more! Highly recommend!
