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

Sunset sail

Todd_B, Mar 2026
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!

Terrible time

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.

10/10 Trip

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.

Don’t waste your money

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.

Omg second time doing this excursion. Had a great time celebrating my twins 21st birthday. The guys were great! Dakota and Isaac are tops.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

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.

Good cruise

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.

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.

This was really fun. Loved that they put up the sails right away. Portia , captain Michael and Isaac(?) were great and very attentive. very basic snack food - a few veggies, cheese, hummus and fruit. Boat was very clean with lots of room. Trip was two hours and Subset was very pretty.
