This was a fantastic tour. The crew- Tim, Adrian, Darian, and captain Serena - we excellent. They were all so kind and gracious. The food was amazing, the drinks were always full (told you the staff was great), and the views were legendary. So worth it. I recommend this excursion %100.

It was a relaxing tour. The crew worked hard the whole 2 hours. I kind of wanted to go somewhere besides floating around in the bay. I probably need a day time cruise where I can go see something. Kind of hard to see much in the dark. There was a nice sunset though.

Nice cruise with delicious dinner, great crew and it was awesome that everyone used hand sanitizer before making their plates.

We have now taken two excursions with the VI Cat. Both times the crew has been amazing. The sunset cruise was a very fun and relaxing evening. The crew worked hard to ensure we had plenty of drinks, food and the best views for the sunset. We highly recommend this excursion along with the three hour snorkeling with turtles.

Our crew was great and made sure our drinks were full. The dinner was tasty and the views of St. Thomas and Water Island were beautiful.

We choose to do the sunset cruise and it was a really good decision. The crew was really pleasant and fun. We left the dock on time and crew gave us safety instructions before we left the dock. The staff offered us a nice spread of snacks and drinks were flowing for the duration of the cruise. We had a lot of fun interacting with the other guests and the crew. I would advise anyone coming to spend time in St.Thomas to take this cruise. It was a wonderful experience and well worth the price of admission.

This was a once in a lifetime experience. The crew was well rehearsed and the cruise went off without a hitch. The food was great and the “pain killers” were delicious. A very nice trip!
