What To Expect
Norman Island
This is our most popular daysail due to the calmest sailing, the most snorkeling, and the most time at each stop. This is also our best itinerary for kids! This part of the BVI has so many unique options but we try to always visit the Caves and the Indians, as well as (at least) one other stop. You might even find some lost Pirate tressure!

5.00Best snorkeling that we had in 5 different cruise ports. Crew was wonderful & actually sailed twice in the day (most will motor all day). Very casual yet safe experience.

5.00Everything was fantastic! We snorkeled, swam with turtles, and played on a paddle board. The crew was great. Patient, understanding, and even laughed at bad jokes. Maddie was the first mate, and boy did she know her stuff. Captain could not do without her. We ate, drank, and wore our self out. Highly is not a strong enough word to recommend this trip. BTW, Cap was pretty good too!
Perfect excursion

5.00Went for a day sail on Sugar Rush with Captain James and Admiral "Lady". They were a great team. Visited the world famous "Caves", swam on the beach next to Pirates in and bobbed the water at Key Cay on the backside of Peter Island. Lunch was excellent and the drinks flowed. The boat is well set up with full snorkel gear for all. We had a full boat, but at no time did it feel overcrowded. Would absolutely recommend it. Great Day out.
Highly recommend this charter.

5.00The crew & staff were great. The captain gave us history lessons on the area, which was much appreciated. The lunch was yummy, there were a few options to choose from and everything was fresh. The crew kept an eye out for our safety, which was great because we had some winds and waves but nothing wild. My teenaged grand daughter enjoyed it too and said she’d take the charter again. Highly recommend !
Great trip!

5.00The trip was fantastic! We saw rays and turtles and had a great time. The staff was very helpful and even helped when my 6 year old son was reluctant to snorkel. I would definitely recommend!
