5.00My experience with the VI sunset dinner cruise was great. The crew was awesome they were fun, accommodating, and helpful. The BBQ food was great and plenty to go around. The sunset was perfect. There’s plenty of time to take it all in. The other passengers were all friendly and nice conversations ensue during dinner. I would recommend this activity as part of any trip to Saint Thomas
Great views of the harbor

5.00Great evening experience even though the weather did not cooperate on that day. Both food and drinks were very good. The crew was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend this cruse and will come back next time we are in St Thomas. Very convenient access from the Marriott and Westin hotels.
Forget everything and relax on a Sunset Cruise.

5.00My husband and I took the dinner cruise and totally enjoyed the trip. The food was delicious[ the beef was a bit too spicy for us] but every other food was awesome. The drinks were weak {we pay to be feeling relaxed during the dinner and booze...} Overall it was defiantly a must for visitors when visiting Saint Thomas.
Wonderful sunset cruise with drinks and food

5.00The experience was easy, relaxing, and fun! From start to finish everything was clearly explained and executed. The safety talk wasn’t boring, they made it entertaining, getting on and off the boat was equally safe with several strong hands eager to assist. The food smelled, looked, and tasted great! Everyone enjoyed themselves on the boat. It wasn’t remotely crowded with apx 45 attending. The drinks flowed, the charm turned up, and the music kept the island vibe going! There was not one bad thing about this awesome experience. So thankful my daughter researched and found this crew! I highly recommend you reserve your evening of fun and make lifelong memories.
This was the most...

5.00Definitely a 10 out of 10! We went on the sunset 🌅 2 hour dinner cruise and had a wonderful time. Our server Dan was very attentive to our needs and was a pleasure meeting him along with the rest of the team members and captain. Loved seeing the yachts in the bay at night and the city lights. Thank you VI Cat for the memories! Don’t pass up this unforgettable time!!
The views were beautiful....
