Great outing - Despite the not so great weather, the ladies did a killer job of getting us to all of the stops. The company also made the trip happen by somehow finding people to make the minimum for the outing, which was appreciated. The food and drinks were excellent as well. And that sail line....💪 😉

Perfect Day on the Water - Amazing experience! The boat was pristine and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the trip. The reservation process was easy with a cruise stop. Captain and Lady took great care of us with equipment, snacks and snorkeling sites were excellent. We would definitely go again.

Norman Island Day Sail- Awesome! - We were so pleased that we booked Aristocat Day Sails for our day in Tortola. I had emailed the team and James was quick to respond and let me know that he would arrange a shared day sail around our cruise ship arrival and departure. What a fantastic day with James and Maddie! 3 snorkelling spots - each based on the best conditions and crowd levels for that day. Our first stop was at Dead Chest Island and this was the best snorkelling we have experienced. A fabulous lunch and very relaxing day with great sailing on a beautiful catamaran. Highly recommend for any folks visiting on a cruise ship. We had a short port day but James made sure we were back in good time for our ship’s departure. Thanks guys - it was the best.
