Great Sail...expect for the Cookie Tossing Man

Truly enjoyed the experience. The crew was wonderful, engaging, funny, attentive and made it a good experience. Only reason for not giving 5 stars was we had two people get sick on the boat and toss their cookies. One person kept tossing their cookies all the way to St. John, from St. John to the snorkel spot, and then from the snorkel spot all way back to St. Thomas. This person sat inside the boat by the bar, tossing cookies in front of every one very loudly, to the point we all evacuated the area. So it was hard to go get drinks as he remained down there, laid out and then sitting upright to toss more cookies. Made the experience not as enjoyable at all! But that wasn't the crews fault. I do feel they should have told him to go down to the bathroom area instead of sitting upstairs by the bar grossing us all out.

Fun day!

It was great! The crew was very attentive, the catamaran was awesome! There weren’t any lite snacks as described but the drinks were available and good. They provided a very fun day!

Operator response

Sounds like an awesome day on the water. Great crew, a beautiful catamaran, and drinks flowing is always a solid combo. We appreciate the 5 stars and are glad the crew made the experience a fun one for you, Betsy!

So much fun

My boyfriend and I had so much fun on this day trip. The staff was super friendly, and the excursion itself was really fun. We were given the perfect amount of time to spend on St John and get lunch and go to the beach, and the snorkeling spot was great as well. Definitely would do again and recommend!

Operator response

Sounds like such a great day for you both! We’re so glad you had fun and that the crew made it even better. St. John with time to explore, grab lunch, hit the beach, and a solid snorkel stop is a pretty perfect combo. We hope to see you again soon.

Nice trip. Bring snacks.

The crew was great. The ride was delightful. Trip advisor says lite bites will be served. There were none. Almost 6 hours trip and not a chip or veggie platter anywhere. .

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the crew and the ride, but we’re sorry the lite bites were not provided as expected. We’ll share your comments with the team to help improve communication and ensure future guests have a complete experience.

Stress free day in Virgin Islands

Great experience, 1 day excursion from St. Thomas to St. John. Boat is a catamaran and is very spacious and comfortable. Crew of 3 was courteous, friendly and professional and open to answering all questions. Open bar was nice for those who partake. 2 hour drop-off in St, John main town was an enough time for lunch. Snorkeling following at a seemingly private cove was a stress free experience with just the right amount of time set aside. Return trip was smooth and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you for choosing to explore St. John with Cruz Bay Watersports! We truly appreciate the kind words for our crew and the five stars for their top tier hospitality. We look forward to another amazing day out on the water on your next visit!
