A good time on the waves and snorkeling spots. - It was out first time on a sail boat and it was fun. I wasn't sure of the tilting of the ship but our hosts were so casual about it that I felt at ease. The hosts were warm, conversations good, and the spot they picked had a large variety of sea life. We enjoyed the snorkeling, the current was relaxing and calm. Weather was perfect.

Your experience begins... - Your experience begins with a scenic sailing adventure of about an hour, offering incredible views of the surrounding islands. From there, you’ll stop to snorkel at a secluded island, where you can spot sea turtles and a wide variety of colorful fish. After snorkeling, sit back, relax, and enjoy the peaceful sail back.

This was so fun! My... - This was so fun! My husband wasn’t feeling well at one point but Rob and Deb took amazing care of him. Made sure he had water at all times, also made sure everyone on the boat had what they needed. The hospitality was unmatched! Deb constantly filled our cups up with whatever drink we wanted, she offered us snacks after snorkeling too! Rob gave us some good dinner recs and told us some good info about the island. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Christmas (Cove) in the Caribbean - Wonderful day with Captain Rob and Mate/Bartender/Tour Guide Deb. Deb was great with communication before the trip and it was easy to find them at the marina. We had a great sail to Great St. James and enjoyed snorkeling at Christmas Cove. Luck was with us as we saw a spotted eagle ray, several sea turtles, a lobster, an octopus, trunk fish, puffer fish, huge urchins, and many more beautiful fish. Thanks for a wonderful day and the suggestion to spend some time at Sapphire Beach afterwards. The tropical chicken sandwich was tasty! P.S. great tunes, Capt Rob!

Terrific Experience! - We had a wonderful time sailing and snorkeling with Rob and Deb. They were amazing hosts, super friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun chatting with them and learning about the islands around us while sailing. They took us to a terrific spot for snorkeling where we got to see sea turtles, a stingray, and a variety of beautiful fish. This was my first time sailing and it was a great experience, there were only two other people on the boat with us, which really made it feel like our own private excursion. I would absolutely sail with Rob and Deb again next time we are in St. Thomas. Also, the rum punch was delicious and we had some great laughs along the way. Highly recommend!

The best excursion I've ever taken - Rob & Deb were great hosts. The snorkeling was amazing. Their sailboat was so much fun. We had never sailed before. The rum punch was awesome. I would highly recommend them for a wonderful and personalized excursion. Deb even dove in to rescue my UV sun shirt.
