5.00This was awesome! They had to cancel our original itinerary due to strong winds on that side of the Island, however they took us to other Islands that were just as beautiful. The crew on the catamaran were great and entertaining. I would definitely book this again.

5.00We sailed with Maddie and Francesco today to Jost Van Dyke on a sailing catamaran trip via Aristocat. Super personable people.! They were in sinc with each other and the passengers! Showing and telling us how sailing is done, wind directions, the sails and how they worked. If you wanted, you could help joist a jib! They rotated around the boat striking up conversation and made it so enjoyable! Would sail with them again and again!
Great day sail in Tortola

5.00Eight of us with kids and the crew was fantastic. Francesco and Maddie (sp?) treated us to an amazing day and took great care of all our needs. Food, drinks, hospitality, what a great day sail!
Francesco and Madi are the BEST!!

5.00This was a WONDERFUL trip! Francesco and Madi were genuinely friendly, fun, informative and provided a terrific time. Lunch was delish, drinks were great. It was unfortunate we had to swim to shore at Jost VanDyke (strong winds and crowded anchor space) but we did it. The waves and wind made it quite the challenge to get back to the catamaran but we figured it out. This excursion is best for adults. Our time at each place was plenty. Kudos to this crew - we loved it!!
Wonderful Day Trip

5.00Although windy weather kept us from JVD, we went to Norman Island and points in between. Francesco and Maddie were awesome guides, extremely personable, engaging and fun to be with. Maddie made lunch for us…her potato salad and Cole Slaw were to die for. Recommend daycruise company to all. Great job and we had a great day. Thanks
