Best sail experience on Tortola

5.00It was the highlight of my trip to Tortola. Captain Flo and first mate Lady make to trip extra special. They went out of their way to make sure we all had an exceptional experience. They were both very experienced and incredibly capable sailors. Don’t sail with any other company. Literally saw 50 different types of fish as well as sea turtles. Absolutely amazing time.
Perfect family friendly small group sailing to see turtles and caves… and chat over a beer or rum punch or 2.

5.00We had a wonderful day with James and Maddi. We are a family from the UK, 2 kids aged 10 and 8. We were in Tortola as a stop on a Caribbean cruise trip and we had a blast on the boat. The sailing is fun and relaxed so the kids can chill on the netting at the front and the grown ups can chat over a rum punch or 2. We stopped 3 times. Once for crystal clear snorkelling, everything you would expect for a Caribbean island. Stop 2 was where we swam with the sea turtles! Our first time seeing and swimming with them. Lunch was fab and fast… so we could hit stop 3 and we had the paddle boards out, and more turtles! It was a perfect way to spend a day in Tortola.
Beautiful, relaxing sail & snorkel day!

5.00Captain James and First Mate Maddy were great! So accommodating, made the sail/snorkel the most lovely day. The catamaran was gorgeous, not crowded, and we were able to go to the caves, plus two cays that were so calm, perfect for snorkeling with the sea turtles we saw! Lunch was delicious, drinks plentiful. We booked another tour before we disembarked. Thank you!!!

5.00Our entire family had an absolutely fantastic day sailing with Francesco and Madi to the Caves, Pelican Island, and Peter Island. Francesco and Madi were amazing hosts - friendly, funny, and authentically engaging. The stops were also great and highly complimentary: we got to see lots of cool fish and even turtles!! My youngest described it as “his best ever day” and our teenager was all smiles. We really enjoyed the catamaran layout - lots of space to move around and relax on the netting up front. Highly recommend this tour and this crew, in particular.
Unforgettable

5.00We had an amazing day. Francesca and Maddie were fantastic and true professionals. They catered the day to what was best based on the water conditions and we had so much fun. We were a family of 5 with kids ages 10/8/8 and the kids loved every minute of the day. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to be back.
Norman Island - sail, snorkel & Willie Ts

5.00Clear departure instructions and friendly/knowledgeable staff helped to make this one of our favorite excursions. We will definitely book again in the future. We had wind and actually sailed!!! (Rare for a catamaran excursion in our experience). For our Norman Island day we had three different snorkel experiences, a quick stop at Willie Ts, and a well prepared lunch.
Great experience! Would...
