vi sailing review

VI Sailing website was great in allowing us to find the cattermaran that best met our family wants and needs for this vacation. My Husband had a pleasant experience working with Ellen. She answered all questions and prepared us for our trip. We will definitely use VI sailing again!

Phenomenal Trip!

Luke and Erin were a fabulous pair and wonderful hosts to us for our charter. Luke is intimately familiar with the VI because he was born and raised there. Erin was a fabulous chef and they both catered to our every wish from meals, drinks, island sightseeing and SCUBA. We could not have asked for anything more!

Only the Best Charters from VI Sailing

Everyone at VI Sailing made our experience the Best and Easiest.
The yacht Blue Passion that we were on was First Rate. The Crew of Greg and Vanessa Langridge were better than the boat. They made us feel right at home and made our experience simply the best. At the end of our week we had tears in our eyes as we said good bye to our new friends.

Pisces with Brendon and Anastasia was outstanding!!

If you're looking for a perfect way to see the Virgin Islands without the hassles of finding hotels and restaurants, this 47' catamaran is the best option. The captain, Brendon, will chart exactly what you would like to see and if you don't have any preferences he will take you to the best places on the islands that others have enjoyed. If snorkeling is your thing, he knows the best places to see the aquatic life of the area up close and personal. If hiking is your choice they will take you to some historical areas for some spectacular adventures as well.

Having unbelievable meals prepared by the chef, Anastasia, will exceed your culinary dreams. She too will ask what you like best and always able to provide the local flavor and seafood if that's your thing. If you don't prefer seafood, she has the alternatives that will melt in your mouth. Her use of spices and herbs adds dazzle to any meal.

All said, this was the best time that we could have imagined and a great way to get a feel for the islands. The crew of Pisces really made our vacation come to life and it was one that we will always remember fondly. We can now check this off our bucket list and we will definitely make a return visit at some point!

Enigma

We were on the Enigma and had a great time. The crew was excellent. The food was gourmet. It was an all around 5 star experience. I would recommend the boat and the crew to anyone. We were a group of 8 on a reunion trip and enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to book again in the future.

Antillean sailing

Only excellent things to say about Virgin Island Sailing Company! Very easy to connect with the staff, everyone pleasant to deal with, always knew who I was & what trip I was planning, had all the information I needed and answered all my questions & got back to me immediately whenever I contacted them. They know the ships and crews and matched us up beautifully with The Antillean. When we took our trip, there were no surprises, thanks to Virgin Island Sailing Company preparing us so very well! Thank you ever so much, Virgin Island Sailing Company!

Catamaran Vacation on Nutmeg

From the start, VI sailing was easy to communicate with and supplied us with many options to fit our budget. In the end we trusted their experience and knowledge about the boat and crew we chose. That was a good move on our part since Nutmeg could not have been more perfect. The information supplied by VI Sailing helped with the logistics with the ferry system and much needed information about the BVI's.

AN AWESOME 60TH BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR TIM

Emily at Virgin Island Sailing delivered an excellent yachting experience for my family by booking us on the XENIA 62 with Jos & Chrisaan. The trip was for my 60th birthday with my wife and our 3 adult children and their spouses. Emily did a great job listening to our interests and needs and identifying a great fit for us with the XENIA 62 for our BVI cruise.
The captain & crew, Jos and Chrisaan, were fantastic. Both Jos and Chrisaan have excellent people skills, pleasant personalities, and made our stay on their boat a fantastic sailing experience. The meals were outstanding and they did a great job catering to our personal tastes. We highly recommend them and would definitely charter with them again. The trip exceeded our expectations and it was the best 60th birthday present I could have received.

We chose Virgin Island Sailing to help us make charter arrangements for a sailing vacation in the Virgin Islands. Their website was vey helpful and provided lots of detail.

Absolutely Fantastic Experience

This trip was perfect! From beginning to end our wishes were followed. We were given several options each day for activities and the crew were very flexible. The food was fantastic and the vessel was clean. Thank you again for such a special week.

Sailing on Sea Witch is family, fabulous fun!

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.

Above and beyond!!!

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!
