What our Guests had to Say...

Here's what a few of our guests had to say about our:

SNORKEL ADVENTURE (New Horizons) -

We have done this trip over the last four years, and each year I book again as the trip is just a wonderful way to be on the water and relax. The sail boat is large in size which I like (I've done the small sailboats and they make me nervous on rough waters). The trip is just what I need to unwind from winter in Maine. The crew is excellent, they take you all around St. John's for great snorkeling. The lunch on board the ship is one of the best that we have had, plenty to go around. We also enjoy the "nooners" a special drink after lunch. Just wonderful...give this trip a try. ~ WinterWonderland from Portland, Maine

We had a great time on our day sail (02/06/2011). Captain Marcus and crewmember/chef Bill were great hosts. The food and drinks were excellent, and we made two snorkeling stops during the day. Money well spent and would recommend this excursion to any visiting St. Thomas. ~ ACRRBishop

Great weather, great snorkeling, great food, and excellent service. We went on a snorkeling tour to St. John. Time flew and we didn't notice. Definitely one the best times we had on the islands. And for an unbeatable price at $80/person, breakfast and lunch included! ~ Mezerimay

BVI EXCURSION (New Horizons 2, Breakaway or Breakaway 2) -

Wanted to let you know what an outstanding job our captain and crew did on our all day sail to the BVI on Breakaway this past Sunday, January 2nd. Our captain was John and our crew were Tory and Jenny. We really enjoyed our day and will recommend the trip to all our friends!! They were all very professional and fun and made it a wonderful memory. ~ Lisalovestotravel_11 from Birmingham, Alabama

We spent a wonderful day cruising the Virgin Islands on the "Breakaway", under the control of Captain John and First Mate Tory. We visited Virgin Gorda and the "Baths", motored over to an island owned by Pusser's Rum for a casual lunch, and then checked out a spectacular nearby reef via mask, fins and snorkel. Saw lots of beautiful fish and fan coral swaying to the ebb and flow of the beautiful blue water. Heading back to St. Thomas, we stopped off at the Soggy Dollar bar for a Painkiller (required a short swim from the boat to the beach to the bar, and back, not easy to do after the cocktail), followed by more fruity rum drinks on the boat on the return trip to our home port. Captain John cranked up his Ipod and had everyone rockin and singing on the way back. Great fun! We heartily recommend this trip with this captain and crew, it was a blast. ~ TJRocks1 from Charlottesville, Virginia

We were on St. Thomas and St. John for a week. This was our only attraction and it was so much fun. Totally worth the price. It was an all day event 7:15 to 4:40. We snorkeled all week but the snorkeling off of this boat was by far the best of the trip. It was fun to see the Baths and snorkel and lunch and White Bay.... It was even windy and white caps and we still had a great time. We had Marcus and Jenny as guides and they were very nice and professional. Fun day. ~ tudney from Park City, Utah
