My boyfriend and I booked this cruise and had such a great experience from start to finish! The boat was shared with a small group, but it never felt crowded. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own spot and enjoy the scenery. The vibe was relaxing and peaceful the entire time. The crew was incredible, super friendly, very attentive, constantly checking in, offering seconds on dinner, and keeping drinks flowing with an open bar. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. The music set the perfect mood, not too loud, just enough to create a good atmosphere while still letting you enjoy the moment. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. My favorite part was simply watching the sunset from the water. The views and the overall experience were unmatched. I’d absolutely recommend it to other couples looking for something relaxing, romantic, and memorable.

This excursion was DEFINITELY worth taking! Our crew, Mike, Isaac and Anders were extremely engaged! Before you wanted another drink, they were asking you if you wanted one! And brought it to you!

From start to finish a perfect evening. Adrian, a crew member and sails mistress quickly expedited reservations and paperwork to get us ready to board. Portia handled readying the bar and food for the excursion. Captain addressed all of my families questions about the island and sailing in the Carribean. A great crew,great food, and a great way to spend a couple hours on the water sailing around St.Thomas. I highly recommend this tour for families with small children and/or elderly parents or relatives. The boat was easy to access and large enough to move around comfortably.

Isaac and Porsche took amazing care of us & insured everyone's glasses were full & fed us well. They are kind & entertaining while doing their job. Together they made the voyage most enjoyable. They deserve a raise 😉😉 Tom the captain kept us on course & right by the sunset over the wayward isle & then the moon rise over downtown. Very pleasant experience

We had a great sunset cruise with Capt Mike, Issac, & Portia. What a beautiful evening. Taco Tuesday and the painkillers (rum punches) were great. Cat VI was a beautiful catamaran. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew or time! Thank you from Wild Wonderful West Virginians ❤️❤️
