This boat tour was amazing, we unfortunately didn't get to see much of the actual sunset because it was cloudy but getting to see more of the island was great! The boat was incredible and the staff made such a fun environment. Getting to talk to the other people with us was amazing and we made some great friends!! Couldn't recommend this tour enough it was great!!

Andrea_W, Apr 2026
Navigating your way to the boat was a bit treacherous. You have to go up and down elevators in a large resort to make your way to the dock. Once aboard the staff was friendly, but drinks were watered down and their “appetizers” were chips, cheese/crackers, fruit for the most part. The most disappointing part was the fact it wasn’t a sail at all. We literally barely coasted just in the Bay Area and at one point I believe we just idled in place for 30 mins. We’ve had much better cruises and overall was disappointed especially for the price.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Andrea, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear parts of the experience did not meet expectations. Access through the resort can be a bit of a journey for first-time visitors, and we appreciate your patience. Route, sailing conditions, and vessel movement depend on weather and harbor traffic, but we always aim to provide the best experience possible. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue improving.

Becky_D, Mar 2026
A lot of fun Catamaran holds alot of people upwards of 60 people. They served painkillers and any kind of other drink that you could want, also non- achoholic drinks, great music and the crew were awesome. Get there a half hour early you need to get signed in. Loved it!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Becky, Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the music, drinks, and overall atmosphere. Our crew works hard to make every trip fun and memorable. Hope to see you again soon!
Laurie_M, Mar 2026
It was fun. Less of a sail than a motorized trip on a catamaran where they did raise the main but never cut the engines, so more of a boat ride. Staff was nice. Drinks were meh. A bit crowded onboard. Parking was easy and check in, etc was easy
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Laurie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sailing conditions can vary depending on wind and safety considerations, but we always aim to incorporate sailing whenever possible. We’re glad you found the crew friendly and the process easy, and we appreciate your comments as we continue to improve the experience for our guests.

VI Cat is a great boat and the crew worked hard to make it a fun sail.
You’ll get to see the Harbor from a whole new perspective
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Todd, We’re glad you enjoyed the sail and the views of the harbor. Seeing St. Thomas from the water is always special. Thanks for coming aboard!
Nancy_G, Mar 2026
We were expecting a nice cruise to see sunset. Cat sailed against sunset. Cruise turned out to be a boose cruise with drunk obnoxious people. Snacks were anything but special. Delayed in leaving due to obnoxious people did not fill out waiver. Music was terrible. Only stayed close to shore. Worse Viator tour ever.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Nancy, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Our routes and positioning are based on weather, wind, and harbor traffic to ensure safety and comfort for everyone aboard. We appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind as we continue to improve the experience.

Ron and his crew were attentive and friendly. Drinks were plentiful
and the sunset was gorgeous. We loved that we sailed around the area, getting to see some of the yachts docked there!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Cathy, We’re glad you enjoyed the harbor views and sunset, it’s one of the best ways to see St. Thomas. Thanks for the kind words about the crew and for sailing with us.

A_L, Mar 2026
This was incredible. Dakota and Adrien were constantly checking up on us, making sure if we were okay or wanted anything more to drink. Adrien was complimenting my daughter and her best friend and she was very friendly to them. We were very comfortable and felt very safe on the boat, especially with us being in such a vulnerable state as we were.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
A L, Thank you for the kind words. Our crew takes pride in making sure every guest feels comfortable and cared for, and we’re glad you had such a positive experience aboard The VI Cat.
Butch_S, Mar 2026
The food served on the boat was not worth the cost of the trip. They served painkillers that had very little alcohol in it. I would not go on this trip again or recommend anyone wasting there money to go on it. The crew was great but what you get is not much
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Butch, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the crew great, we truly pride ourselves on delivering excellent service and hospitality.
We’re sorry to hear that the food and drink experience did not meet your expectations. We aim to provide quality offerings that complement the overall sailing experience, and guest feedback like yours helps us evaluate and improve. We appreciate your honesty and thank you for sailing with us.

Jim_P, Feb 2026
Cruise was a loop around the bay, scenery was great, ship was in good shape, drinks were good, appetizers were a little weak. Crew was accommodating.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Jim, Thank you for sailing with us and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery, drinks, and crew. We appreciate your comments as we continually strive to deliver the best possible experience for our guests.
Candice_B, Feb 2026
Overall, it was a nice boat ride during the sunset. It was cool when we were just using the sail to power the boat. It could have been better had they moved the boat around so every side of the boat had a good view of the sunset. Crew was great and the food and drinks were good.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Candice, Thank you for joining us and for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the sailing portion and appreciated the crew, food, and drinks. Sunset timing and positioning can sometimes be influenced by wind, marine traffic, and safety considerations, but we certainly understand your perspective. We truly appreciate you sailing with us and hope to welcome you aboard again!

Brandi_Y, Dec 2025
Great, relaxing evening! Crew was awesome! I think if I were to do it again I would want to end on the sunset instead of the start. Appetizers is an exaggeration of food provide. Light bites.
