Jerome and Glenson picked our party of 4 up at the Windjammer dock a short distance South of Rodney Bay. We ran down the coast to Anse Chastanet for some snorkeling. We then went farther South for a beautiful view and photo opp of the Pitons and snorkeling at Jalousie. After lunch at Soufriere we headed back North to Marigott... More

Jerome has owned his own boat tour business for 15 years, and it shows. From the moment you contact him, he is professional and responsive. I had a somewhat complicated custom trip I wanted him to take my dad and me on, and he responded almost immediately to the 7 different emails I sent him. He picked us up from... More

We booked the water taxi for a day trip from Rodney Bay to the Pitons and back again. We weren't interested in the land tour aspects or the crowds of people of the big organized tours like Joe Knows or Julians and found this private customizable tour instead. For a few more $ we had a private day on the... More

Jerome provided an excellent sunset cruise down to Marigot Bay and back. Together with his trusty mate, he had a wealth of knowledge of the coast and island more generally. Cruise gives a very different view of the island. Highly recommended. More

We booked with Jerome in advance via the internet based other TA reviews. He and Steve picked us (10 family members total; 5 adults and 5 kids age 12 and under) up right on time from a dock in Castries that was a quick walk from our cruise ship. Plan on at least 5+ hours for a Israel King trip... More

During our honeymoon in St. Lucia, Jerome picked us up at Rodney Bay Marina with his crew mate, Steve. They were both so friendly and knowledgable about St. Lucia that it felt like we were hanging out with old friends. The boat was clean and comfortable and Jerome had a cooler of local Piton beers and waters waiting for us.... More

The inaugural passage of the new Israel King was the high point of our first visit to St Lucia. Jerome and Steve were highly entertaining and very knowledgeable. We received the low down on many of the smart houses we passed, oggled at the celebrity mansions above Marigot bay and enjoyed the observation that one of the most exclusive, and... More

We took a full day trip with Jerome from Rodney Bay to the Pitons and back. The trip was spectacular and filled with so many interesting tidbits of information. Jerome is funny, kind, and knowledgeable. We loved the individualized attention and we felt completely safe on his boat. He was always willing to take a photo and would happily reposition... More

I booked Jerome as a 1st anniversary surprise for my husband whilst we were on holiday in St Lucia. We were spending a night at Hotel Chocolat (also as a surprise) and I wanted the journey there to be fun as it takes quite a long time by road (we were travelling from Rodney Bay). I made enquiries with a... More
