5.00Maddie and James are the best! What a relaxing and enjoyable day. The surf was higher than normal but the compensated by adjusting the plan for the day and did a fantastic job! One of the best excursions I’ve ever done anywhere in the world. There were only 12 of us and had a very personalized experience. Highly recommend !
Just go already!

5.00This was a near perfect day. Started with a lovely sail to a little island, then onto where the Soggy Dollar is. Good drinks and food, great weather and fabulous beaches. The service was outstanding.

5.00Sailed to Sandy Spit then on to White Bay. Sandy spit was very cool, did a little snorkling and explored the tiny island. Then sailed to White Bay and had a delicious lunch on the boat prepared fresh by the first mate Madi. Visited the Soggy Dollar Bar and walked the amazing beach. Capt James and first mate Madi were amazing. Highly recommend.
AMAZING!! MUST DO!!

5.00The catamaran to JVD was fantastic, a top 10 day for sure! From the ease of finding our ride from the cruise port to the excursion itself, it was a perfect day!
Highly recommend, wonderful experience!

5.00Booked this sail while we were on a cruise (not a cruise excursion). Had an amazing day on a beautiful boat! Caption Flo and first mate Lady were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and all around fabulous! Food was delicious and drinks were plentiful!
Gorgeous tour, stressful ending, wonky transportation

4.00This was a great day with two lovely guides, nice catamaran and nice stops in gorgeous locations. The transportation pick up and drop off situation was not great. The pick up instructions were lacking and we had difficulty finding our taxi driver after we disembarked from our ship. We had a tight window between tour ending and the last tender to our ship and made this known to our driver….the taxi driver could not care less. And was quite rude. It is a tedious 30 minute drive from port to tour marina. We barely made the last tender by ten minutes, otherwise we would have been stuck on Tortola and missed our cruise ship. The tour is great but be sure you have at least a 2-3 hour window to get back to your ship after the tour ends. It was a stressful end to an otherwise great day.
Great sailing trip for a port day in BVI!

5.00Absolutely great way to spend the day in port in BVI. The sailing experience and the swimming/lunch spots were fantastic. The taxi transfers were a bit disorganized, and the drivers seemed to have a hard time keeping track of where people were and telling people where to go, but that was just a minor hiccup on an incredible day.
A great experience

5.00What an amazing day! The crew was fantastic, the catamaran was clean and well equipped with floats and styrofoam noodles. The food was prepared on board and excellent. The beverage selection and rum punch was awesome. The crew is very generous with the rum :)). We loved the Soggy Dollar and the beach there is just fantastic. We spent 2 hours anchored in the bay enjoying the water and the beach. It was my husbands birthday and what a perfect and beautiful day we had! I highly recommend this excursion. We were on a 10 day cruise and this was the highlight of our trip. Can’t wait to come back to Tortola and book it again!

5.00My husband and I did a day sail with Captain Flo and Madi. The day was fantastic. Hit some beautiful spots, great tunes, and Madi makes a solid rum punch. Thank you!
