Highly recommend Sailing the Cosmos! - We had such a nice time on this cruise! We felt very comfortable that we were in good hands and were able to really relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! The snorkeling was good too! What a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! I highly recommend Sailing the Cosmos!

Super fun sailing... - Super fun sailing experience! The windy conditions on the way to the snorkeling spot added to the adventure. Captain Rob and Deb were great sailors/hosts. We enjoyed having a private sailing with our family of six. The marina is next to beautiful Sapphire Beach, which is a 25-30 minute taxi ride from the cruise port (and costs $15/person each way). We highly recommend Sailing the Cosmos!

St. Thomas Snorkeling - What a fabulous experience! This was our first time in St. Thomas and we knew we wanted to go out snorkeling. First off, the cap of 6 people on the boat was a huge plus for us. Rob and Deb were the perfect sailing hosts, providing snacks and drinks, giving information about the islands, the wildlife we would encounter, and where we could look for everything while snorkeling in Christmas Cove! If you are looking for pretty much a private outing, this is your crew! 10/10 recommend!!

Fun half-day sailing and snorkeling excursion - Their website has great information and photos, and the experience was accurately portrayed. We went in March 2025, Sailing in that area is gorgeous, and they took us to a great snorkeling spot with a shipwreck, some coral and grassy areas with turtles. We saw 5 turtles, 2 rays, 7 large starfish, and a good assortment of fish. Pretty much the perfect half-day excursion. Rob and Deb are great.

Sail and snorkel spring break trip - My family of 4 sailed and snorkeled in Christmas Cove with Deb and Rob during our spring break trip. The sail was fun, and the views were spectacular! It was pretty windy on the day we went but the sailing was smooth and Deb and Rob adapted to the weather and pivoted from a reef swim to Christmas Cove for smoother water. The snorkeling was fantastic! We saw turtles, so many different fish, a sting ray, and starfish! I would definitely do it again!

Great Trip - We had a great time with Deb and Rob.
The snorkeling was great. We saw multiple sea turtles, a sunken boat, and a reef. The equipment was nice, and it was 6 people max for the trip.
They also gave us good restaurant recommendations.

Sun, Snorkeling and Sailing - Great way to see St Thomas and the USBVI from the water. Deb and Rob were very knowledgeable and great hosts. If you are wanting to get away from the crowds and unwind this family friendly experience is a great choice. Sailing and snorkeling out of Sapphire bay is always a treat with plenty of time to eat and shop downtown and hop back on your cruise.

Not a single complaint, awesome time - Amazing views, good drinks, and really loved the flexibility to go for a quick sailing cruise when we were done snorkeling early. Definitely recommend if you want to snorkel or sail.

Special-FUN-Memories - What an awesome experience; we were literally treated like royalty; always being carefully taken care of making sure we had refreshments; pointing out islands history; taking our family to special snorkel sites and super tasty lunch.

Great spot - Great snorkle spot! Wish it was longer, did not realize 2 of the 3 hours was travel to and from. Also, can be choppy when sailing,so beware motion sick folks and take dramamine before!
