Our two teenagers learned so much from Captain John's informative, yet laid back passion to sail safely. Susan provided delicious meals and taught new games, always with smiles and laughter. Together they took us snorkeling where we saw colorful fish, turtles and coral. Hiked, kayaked, and relaxed on a variety of islands. Fished along the way and kids learned to fillet the fish that Susan cooked for lunch. Each day was spent on a beautiful island taking in the sights, eating local food either on the boat or shore and enjoying beverages of choice. Capt. John and Susan were easy to be with the entire week, always providing our family of four a spectacularly relaxed vacation. Boat was very comfortable for all of us and spacious. They know the islands well and while hearing what we wanted to do, with review of weather conditions, planned a sailing itinerary that was exciting.

Great customer service. Kept us well informed. Gave us reminders when payments were due. Can't recommend them enough. The only way to go.

We had a very unique situation that prevented us from taking our cruise, but felt that the care, kindness and professionalism showed us should not go unnoticed. Sometimes a company is better defined by how a situation is handled when circumstances are less than ideal, than when things go smoothly and according to plan. We would especially like to thank Melody Delgado for her exceptional care; and because this has been such a positive experience for us--even through trying times--we will definitely be using Virgin Island Sailing in the future. This is a company that offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences and outstanding customer care. I couldn't imagine taking the trip of our dreams with anyone else!

Five stars aren't enough! We came into this trip with very high expectations, and Steve and Deb far exceeded all of them. We apparently had "bad weather" (which is definitely relative) because there was a lot of wind and the seas were kind of high, but Steve is a very skilled Captain who gave us some exciting, fast sailing with the high winds but also found wonderfully protected areas for snorkeling, lunch, and overnight anchorages where the water was calm. He definitely knows the best way to maximize an itinerary in any kind of weather. Deb is a magician in the galley. I have no idea how she puts together such fresh, delicious, and abundant meals and snacks with the space constraints of the boat, but our bellies and taste buds were very grateful for her talents. She also kept the boat immaculately clean all the time, which was also pretty magical because we never really saw her cleaning! In addition to their formal "jobs" on the boat, Steve and Deb were wonderful tour guides and great friends. We really just enjoyed spending time with them. It was like going on vacation with friends, except I don't have any other friends who wait on me hand and foot and don't allow me to clear my own dishes. Ha! Steve and Deb took all of our preferences and even off-hand comments very seriously and really went above and beyond to make sure we had the time of our lives. They were extremely professional but also warm and welcoming, and we were so fortunate to be able to hang out with them for the week. The boat was comfortable and well-appointed, and we wanted for nothing the entire trip. As Deb said, we've found our home in the Virgin Islands and can't wait to go back!

Having been experienced bare boaters for many years, we were hesitant to let go of total control to a Captain and First Mate. Would we like them? Would they like us? Would it be uncomfortable being in such close quarters with people we had never met? Well, the answers are: Yes! Yes! NO! Thea and Jamie were superb. They anticipated our every need before we knew it ourselves. They were amazingly warm and friendly, yet let us take the lead as far as how much contact and togetherness we wanted. The food was wonderful (although way too much! We all gained weight on the trip!). We felt completely comfortable with Thea and Jamie and consider them new-found friends. Jamie's skill at the helm made us completely comfortable. My husband took the helm a couple of times, just for old times' sake, but he thoroughly enjoyed relinquishing all responsibility to Jamie and I was thrilled that Thea handled all meals. We enjoyed it so much that there is no reason to ever bare boat again. The Roks boat is amazingly spacious . . . both couples had huge suites with king size beds and more storage space than we could ever need. The deck layout is perfect. And we utilized the kayaks and paddleboards almost daily. We hope to be back again soon for another wonderful week aboard ROKS with our new friends, Thea and Jamie. We will enthusiastically recommend this experience!

Awesome trip. Kelly and Diane were very accommodating. They were very knowledgeable about the area. Very kind and considerate.

We loved the entire experience. We needed a relaxing trip and the crew of Tai and Kiki were wonderful.

We booked a single stateroom on a 45' catamaran. It was a fantastic way to see the Virgin Islands and we made new friends with the other two couples on the cruise.
