Mark and Rusty were... - Mark and Rusty were amazing hosts, and they worked hard to provide an amazing experience and unique views. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. I also proposed to my girlfriend on this cruise and they were so helpful with that as well.

Amazing Private Experience and Views - Mark and Rusty did an amazing job making us feel special. They were both super friendly and professional. I proposed to my now fiance on this trip, and they worked with me to help create a memorable proposal. The drinks were bottomless and delicious as well. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a private and special experience. The views were unforgettable as well.

Great operation, this is who you want - Mark and Rusty were awesome. My wife was on crutches and they were more than accommodating. A knowledgeable captain who provided a safe and relaxing sunset cruise. They both were very interesting to talk with. Highly recommend. We'll look for them next time we come back to book again.

Excellent experience - Super fun! This was the first thing we did when we got to St. Thomas. Rusty and Mark were very welcoming and professional but also friendly and personable. The other group on the boat was fun too. Yummy and refreshing drinks and beautiful sunset views.

Fun relaxing sail amongst friends… - Mark and Rusty were gracious hosts, knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. I felt almost immediately like I was with old friends showing me treasures they found. The perfect blend of facts, history and peace set me on island time, escaping from the chaos of both my everyday life, and trying to navigate driving in St Thomas. The boat was also immaculate and perfectly organized. They served us a delicious lunch with choreographed percussion. Logistically, they knew both how to navigate the water, and how not to land us amongst a dozen of other snorkelers. Rusty showed my crew a lot of great under the sea views, including a jellyfish and lots of turtles. He then made me an excellent Pain killer. Over all my only concern was how fast the day went by and that we didn’t have them scheduled again for the next day.

Beautiful boat, beautiful views! - My family of 4 took the sunset cruise out of Sapphire Beach Marina in August of 2023. The boat, the Frances Anne, led by Captain Mark was clean and comfortable. Rusty helped with the ropes, the snacks, and the drinks! Mark gave us a great tour of St John’s and the smaller surrounding islands. I recommend the trip!

Great VERY PRIVATE boat with a EXCELLENT CREW! - Capt Mark and mate Rusty I believe it was were super outgoing friendly and funny. We were on his boat with only one other couple who just happen to be a little celebrity (she worked for Jim Henson and voiced for dark crystal!) which made myself and Rusty a little star struck and brought back childhood memories! Then come to find out Capn Mark is a little celebrity himself! To be honest the company was so great we almost forgot about the views! Such a great crew and experience! Rusty knew a lot about the surrounding islands and both knew some pretty cool facts about the area. Definitely book it! It is more than other excursions but that’s because it’s worth more! VERY PRIVATE and clean beautiful boat! If you do take this trip please TIP YOUR CREW! The mates lives off those tips, and I don’t know if people are unaware, or it’s just a here thing but the last few excursions we’ve been on people aren’t tipping the crews… SO TIP THEM ALREADY! Even if it’s small if 20 people tipped $5/each that’s $100 for them! Anyways rant over! Great time Mark and Rusty! Wish you weren’t booked up or we’d book another before leaving! 5 stars!
