We were picked up promptly and on time from the airport in a large passenger van, and our tour of the island began with some shopping in Charlotte Amelia, followed by some site seeing of the beautiful island. Slightly disappointed as I was hoping for a lunch stop or a bite to eat. Otherwise, the tour and our driver Mr. Sunny was great! Our tour ended being dropped off at our resort in time for a late afternoon check-in.

WOW! What a great way to spend an evening. My wife and I along with two other couples took the Sunset Sail. We couldn't have been more impressed. I was a little skeptical when I found their perfect five star review rating until we seen first hand what an amazing job Rob and Deb do. From the time we arrived until the time we stepped off the boat they made sure we were both safe and having fun. This crew is very personable and willing to engage in conversation or just let you enjoy the sail and sunset. Speaking of sailing, that's my new favorite thing. I had know idea how fun and relaxing sailing was. CPT Rob was happy to explain how the sailboat operated and would even let us work some of the components. Deb was always checking drinks and offering snacks, and was happy to take pictures for us. I can't recommend this team enough. Not only do I have a new love of sailing but I feel lucky to have met such a cool couple.

An absolute fantastic day of sailing with Rob and Deb on the Cosmos. Deb was wonderful and efficient in the booking and followup to have everything planned and worry free. We were served a gourmet lunch with Lumpo Crab cakes and fresh salad. Rob was great to chat with and historian of the USVI. Ive booked many sailboat cruises from Barbados, S Florida, Cayman Island, SF Bay, etc. This was the best one. Such great people to hang with for the day. Hope to Sail again soon. Could not imagine a better sailing trip out of St Thomas. Perhaps an invite to make the trip South in August?? :))

We loved our day on the Frances Anne so much, we went back a second day! We snorkeled, swam with the turtles, saw some very colorful fish and just relaxed as we watched a glorious sunset. The crew was amazing, the lunch delicious and the rum punch hit the spot. Easy taxi ride to Sapphire Bay Marina or ample parking if you have a car. Then it was all aboard the Frances Anne for a day you won’t soon forget! Five Stars!!!

This was the best money I have spent on vacation!! Definitely do the whole day trip and make sure to bring lots of sunscreen. We had a group of 12 on the catamaran and our crew made sure all of our accommodations were met and more! We got to visit other beautiful islands and they took us to the best spots for snorkeling where we were able to see lots of sea life. Captain Splash and first mate Osay were absolutely outstanding and made sure we had the time of our life. Our first mate gave many tips and fun facts about the island, landmarks, and history which was very interesting, and also made sure we always had a drink in our hand and a smile on our face. I would definitely recommend booking with seas the day and will absolutely be back again!!

I do not write many reviews, but these ladies and gents went above and beyond creating one of the best memories for our family! From the day I called Carrie to reserve, I could tell we were going to have a blast. Even with restraints created by the pandemic and limits on where they could take us, Captain Nate and Alicia were the absolute BEST and took us to some of the most remote places to snorkel, float, and simply watch our teenagers flying off the back of the boat several times in a row. Captain Nate took on some of the rougher waters like a champ, to get as to these remote spots, we couldn't even tell. Ride was smooth as silk...They greeted us with fruit plates, delicious breakfast treats, snacks throughout the day and had every single request we made ie Root Beer for my nephew and lemonade for my son and niece available to us on the boat. Just bring yourselves because they had warm beach towels always folded and ready for you when you got out of the water and snorkeling gear and floats when you jumped in. Alicia even jumped in and showed us/interacted with the water life. Service was Top Shelf! We will be back, same boat, same captain and crew next year. An absolute must if you are down in St Thomas! Thank you Sonic!
