With 20 years of experience sailing here in the US Virgin Islands we have found that our guests value the smaller venue for purists sailing. We can offer as much or as little instruction as you request while you take the helm of your very own sailboat here in the Caribbean. A great, hands on experience for everyone in the family and unforgettable memories with photos to prove!
You are invited, though not required, to "Captain" the boat for the whole day, let everyone have a go at the helm or simply hand it back over to your guide to relax and enjoy the ride.

It was just the two of us plus Mike our captain. He is a knowledgeable skipper, great sailing teacher, and consummate host. We have been on private sailing charters before in other places and this was the best. The boat is spacious and comfortable and Mike provides all you need for snorkeling whatever your swimming skills are. Will take another excursion with him when we return to St. John.

Captain Mike tailored a great experience for us; was absolutely great with our daughter and provided a wonderful lifetime memory. The boat was sound and comfortable. If you do one excursion on Saint John's, make it a day of sailing with Captain Mike. We will do it again, for sure.

Enjoying the gorgeous scenery and awesome weather was only made better by Captain Mike’s willingness to teach me the basics of sailing. This has been on my bucket list for years and what an amazing experience! Great food, great drinks, great weather, great friends and an unbelievable sail made for a fantastic birthday celebration.

Best part of our cruise by far. We had an amazing day with Mike and first mate Kiana. They took care of everything! Awesome drinks, food, snorkeling with the turtles and even a great sailing lesson! Mike was personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for the ultimate day trip experience away from the crowds! It was heaven! Our ages ranged from 28 to 85, Truly a cherished memory, can’t wait to return!! Thanks Morning Star!
