Mullet Bay
We usually stop twice during the day both; stops are in the Caribbean Sea. We don’t go into the Atlantic Ocean. At the first we snorkel, paddle board, kayak, swim to the beach, hang with noodles.....and have lunch. We shop each morning. Marinated chicken skewers, captain grilled, green salad, baguette, lovely Caribbean rice. Would you like a rum punch with that? At the second stop we swing from the Tarzan swing. Those between 2 and 89 have enjoyed this easy, safe and super fun trapeze-type swing. The bar is always open and included and if you are hungry after swinging - or laughing - have a snack!

This could be the first stop or it could be the second stop depending on the day and the conditions of the sea.

The 5 hour sail was absolutely wonderful. The owner/guide, Anna, was delightful. We went snorkeling, did the Tarzan Swing and had a great time. Lunch and drinks were included. The lunch was delicious. The price was very reasonable.We fully recommend this experience!

SPECTACULAR ! Anne and Scotty and Mia did everything they could to make this a great day. We have sailed on Random wind several times, dating back to when it was a wooden monohull . I am happy to say , the Vibe has not changed. They keep the group small, the fun high and the boat spotless !

I would give this activity six stars if I could! Anna, Captain Scotty and Maya treated us like royalty. They served us cold beers, rum punch, pop and water. We ate a delicious grilled chicken and rice lunch. When we stopped to float and snorkel in the ocean, they tossed beers for us to drink while we lounged on our noodles. It was a great experience. One of our friends has done this about seven times if that tells you anything. It’s the only thing he and his wife do when they go to St. Lucia on a cruise. I would do this again as well.

Brilliant 5 hours onboard Random Wind. We were warmly welcomed by Anna (and 🐕Queenie). Mya was a lovely crew member, friendly and always topping us up with drinks. Our first stop was in Simpson Bay where we spent an hour enjoying time swimming. Lunch was fresh and tasty. From there, we went on to Little Bay where guests had the opportunity to use the Tarzan swing (lots of fun) and go snorkelling (equipment provided if needed). We were back in Philipsburg about 15:00. The catamaran was clean, facilities were good. Thanks to captain Scott, Anna and Mya for a fun day.

Throughout the years, I’ve take numerous boating day trips in various countries, always having a great experience and enjoying myself. To my immense surprise, the charter I took today was absolutely the best time i’ve ever had. (I’m not even one to write reviews it was just that great!!) The food we were served was DELICIOUS and filling, each stop along the way felt perfectly timed, and the staff were amazing to be around. We ended up being apart of a group around 20 (including my group of 9), and everyone from the young children to older adults had so much fun. HIGHLY recommend and would do it again and again if I didn't have to go back to the U.S in a couple days!! (Shoutout to Queenie: the most nonchalant and cutest boat pup on the planet.)

Best boat excursion I’ve been on and I’ve been on quite a few! A lot of boat excursions make you feel like you are just a passenger. This team made you feel like you were right at home. The staff was absolutely terrific. Want to thank Captain Scotty, Anna and Olga for their exceptional hospitality. And cannot forget Queenie! Queenie was such an adorable crew member. She knew every piece of the operation and all the stops. The food was surprisingly terrific. Captain Scotty was barbecuing on deck and the drinks were a’plenty. Could not have had a better time. I highly recommend to anyone - young and old. You will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
