5.00Captain Kendall was the ideal host for our family of 6 sailing adventure today in St Thomas. He took us to two good snorkeling spots where we saw turtles, rays, coral and lots of fish. We had an excellent lunch and great drinks on the boat. It was our daughter-in-laws first time snorkeling and she loved it. We will remember this adventure as a family forever. Thank you Captain Kendall!
Addison gave us a day to remember

5.00We have booked several snorkeling charters in St Thomas/st John. They're all great and this one was no exception. Addison was our solo captain and crew and was fantastic. Give that man a raise or part ownership. From the second you meet him it's like he's been your best bud since grade school. All around great dude. The weather made for some choppy sea and low visibility in one area but we didn't care. The other passengers, Addison and ourselves felt like a big family going on a day sail. Lunch was great, drinks flowed, stories abound. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Price is steep and seems to be going up year after years which is disappointing (blame the boat owner) but the experience itself was one of the best.
Wonderful snorkeling trip

5.00Captain Kendall was the best. Perfect sailboat for our family of four, smooth and safe ride, and he knew a ton about St. Thomas and the nearby islands. We snorkeled three different spots and saw tons of fish, sea turtles, and stingrays. Bonus: great cocktails and a seriously delicious grilled chicken lunch. Highly recommend Kendall and this tour!
10/10 had a blast

5.00This was really a spectacular day excursion. The sailing is awesome around here and Kendall was a fabulous captain. He has a great deal of sailing experience and he also knows these islands very well. He shared a wealth of information about the different islands, the climate, the currents, the types of fish. It was really an education as well as incredibly fun and we got to swim with sea turtles and see a lot of fish at the various places we moored. he is also an excellent bartender. The sailing part was so much fun for me.

5.00Captain Kendall was great. The small group of 6 on this trip made it more personable and relaxing. Kendall was very knowledgeable about the Islands and history. A couple of us really wanted to see the turtles, and he did not disappoint! The food and drink is were good. My husband said it was the best day by far!
Perfect day on the water!

5.00Kendall is a great sailor and was good about choosing sites we hadn’t already visited. It’s nice to really sail on a snorkeling trip. The small size group makes this a special experience.
Great experience
