Captain Kendall is experienced, engaging and knowledgeable about the local area, and ably manages the cruise as captain, bartender and crew. Drinks were good. Boat seats 6 comfortably. No need to arrive to board early as removing shoes and boarding process is quick and easy. We had a delightful time.

Wonderful experience with a small group. Boat was clean, Darin was so knowledgeable about the island and surrounding area. Fun intimate cruise. I would definitely book again.

    Lovely small group sail...

    Alok_B, Apr 2026
    Lovely small group sail with Darin who was very adaptable to the group's vibe. He did his best to keep the boat away from wet weather and we got a nice sunset over St Thomas.

    Great Evening on the Water

    Sharon_F, Mar 2026
    This was a beautiful evening on the water with Captain Darrin and 4 other guests. It was by far the best sunset cruise we have ever taken.

    Great birthday experience

    Elizabeth_T, Mar 2026
    Kendall was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny! Couldn’t have asked for a better captain and bartender :)

    Set Sail with the Frances Anne

    Havilah_N, Mar 2026
    Captain Kendel was an excellent sailor and host. He shared local history and interesting stories of the Virgin Islands. When we return to St Thomas next year we will set sail with the Frances Anne again.

    Private Sunset cruise

    Jill_C, Feb 2026
    We had 6 of us in our group which was a private sunset cruise even though we did not see a sunset we saw a beautiful double rainbow. Darren our captain was very knowledgeable had great conversations, it was an all around great experience.

    Nice evening on the sailboat for a sunset cruise. Knowledgeable and experienced staff. Drinks were good.

    Unreliable

    Christipher_B, Nov 2025
    This was for our anniversary and we had been really looking forward to it. They texted us that they were cancelling just a few hours before the excursion, leaving us no option or time to book anything else. They said they didn’t meet their minimum for the day, but we had paid for a semi private sail with a max of 6, so they should have still taken us.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    I am so sorry for the inconvenience that was caused by this, it does say that we need a minimum of four guests for the tour to operate. We offered you to switch to a private tour or to find you multiple other tours that were available for that same day but those options did not align with your preferences. I hope that we can make it up to you in the future. By reaching out directly to us we will be able to accommodate you in the best way possible. Happy Anniversary and again our apologies.

    Relaxing sunset sail.

    TINSLEY, Oct 2025
    Relaxing. Kendle, our captain, was friendly, informative and helpful and skillfully managed the sail. Really enjoyable because it was just our family, the experience being restricted to six. The food was a little sparse but nicely presented and there were several nice restaurants in the area for after the sunset sail. Excellent drinks. Don't forget the mosquito spray for the short walk from the parking area to the boat.... Great time and will do it again.

    Fantastic Sunset Sail

    Stanley_S, Oct 2025
    Wonderful evening sail from RedHook with captain Kendall and first officer Addison. They kept us safe, well fed, and we were never thirsty. We really enjoyed their sense of humor, and the serenity of sunset sailing. Highly recommended.

    Wonderful Sunset Cruise

    This was an amazing experience. Kendall was a great captain - kind, knowledgeable, and really entertaining! Drinks were amazing too. Would 100% recommend

    Perfect Evening at Sea

    Kristin_M, May 2025
    We had a perfect evening at sea with Tommy and Sam. They were awesome. We have a family of six, so it was just our family on the boat for the evening. We were able to snorkel at Honeymoon Beach and saw an amazing sunset. We would definitely recommend doing it.

    Great Family Sunset Sail

    Maisyn_S, May 2025
    Amazing sunset views and the Captain is extremely knowledgeable and sociable! Highly recommended this sunset cruise with Captain Ward!!!

    Wonderful crew. So nice...

    MaryJane_H, Apr 2025
    Wonderful crew. So nice to our grandchildren. Unlimited cocktails and wonderful charcuterie board. Would highly recommend.

    Perfect sunset sail

    Mary_S, Feb 2025
    What a beautiful sail on an amazing boat with great people. Mark and Rusty were super friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were great and the food was delicious.

    Sunset Sail

    Dean_S, Feb 2025
    Mark and Rusty made the sail a great time: super knowledgeable about the area, always on it with drinks and snacks, and very friendly. Would definitely book with them again and wish we had earlier in our stay!

    Perfect.

    Derrick_C, Oct 2024
    Everything that Mike and Rusty could control was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the outing. Rusty's Painkiller was almost as good as my own. 🙂 Quality charcuterie. Loved the 6 person limit. Highly recommended.

    Mark and Rusty were great...

    Derek_F, Oct 2024
    Mark and Rusty were great hosts! Really enjoyable experience. They provided beer, cocktails and a nice snack tray. Beautiful boat, too. Highly recommend!

    Great sail

    Cynthia_B, Jun 2024
    Our experience with Mark and Rusty was wonderful! We sailed over to the St John area then around various smaller islands. Our sunset was so pretty… with the sun peaking through the clouds, the islands and the beautiful water… magical! I would recommend this trip and go again next time I am in St Thomas.

    Fun Times

    Bobby_F, May 2024
    Mark and Rusty did an excellent job. The painkillers Rusty concocted lived up to their name. Just an overall great sunset cruise. Highly recommended.

    AAAA+ Sunset Cruise

    Lori_W, May 2024
    Our cruise was very relaxing and Mark and Rusty were great! I would definitely recommend them and this cruise!

    No Regerts :)

    Milari_R, Apr 2024
    Mark and Rusty were fantastic!! Not only took us on a beautiful sail but enriched our knowledge of the islands and the sea. Felt like we were just hanging out with family!

    Great sailboat fun

    Terina_T, Mar 2024
    Even though it was a cloudy day so not much of a sunset, we had a really good time. The crew was great to visit with and very knowledgeable of the islands. If you're looking for a sailboat experience, this one is great!

    Great Sailing Intimate company

    Bruce_G, Feb 2024
    Good sailing, enjoyable company, nice snorkeling. Loved the crew. Sat up front enjoying the view. Skipper furled the job when tackling so the sail would interfere with the foredeck. Good time punch snacks could be better eg cheese and bread

    Fun night

    DAVID_H, Jan 2024
    Beautiful double rainbow, nice sunset over the island. The meat and cheese were very good and the drinks were tasty.

    Last day to amazing trip

    John_W, Jan 2024
    It was a very windy day but Captain Mark did a great job of sailing and docking the boat. Drinks were refreshing (try the painkillers) and snacks were great. Our first mate Jess did a great job of explaining marine biology and sea turtles as that was her specialty. Really enjoyable.

    The Best Anniversary Sail

    JIm_B, Dec 2023
    We wanted to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary with our long-term friends who were avid sailors in their youthful days. This sail was perfect, not too long, not too strenuous, and very enjoyable. Their first time in the USVI will be a most vivid memory for them because of this sail. Thanks to captain and crew for this perfect experience.
