The friendliest and best day sail trip in the BVI, offering a FULL DAY sail, 9.30am-5.00pm, (or timings to match your cruise ship schedule)on 48ft sailing catamarans to beautiful Jost van Dyke or to the Norman Island area to enjoy some of the best snorkelling the islands have to offer. On all our day sails we make a MINIMUM of 3 stops at different locations to swim and snorkel on some great reefs, in the clearest water in the Caribbean. Help yourself to the open bar and enjoy the extensive buffet lunch, freshly prepared and served on board. Now you are here, check out the comments below . . . . . « less

The first nice thing about the Aristocrat was that it was docked at the end of the pier that our ship docked at. Like most all cats, it was a barefoot experience from the time you got on until you left.\ the boat. We were 11 people ranging in age from 7 1/2 - 70 plus. We were joined by... More

Our sail yesterday to Norman Island was wonderful. Steve has a classy catamaran which is very well kept and very comfortable. Lunch was also served which was very nice, allowing us to snorkel in the secluded bay while they (Steve and Gilbo) prepared lunch. We enjoyed this very much and appreciated skipping the Willie T's lunch (party option) since we... More

After booking a last minute cruise with my daughter to be with my sister and her husband, we managed to get reservations on the Lionheart with Captain Gilbo and Kim. I have been on other catamarans and this is by far the cleanest, friendliest and best deal for your money. The cost is no more than the cruise ships offer... More

My husband and I sailed on Aristocat on 4/17/12, with Gilbo and Kim. Gilbo was a fine captain, but I must say I am impressed with how hard Kim worked. She was a wonderful hostess, chef, and sailor. We visited from a cruise ship and the convenience of getting to the catamaran was incredible. It was literally closer than any... More

I can't say enough good things about Captain Steve and his crew. Very friendly, CLEAN boat, alot of places to lay and sit comfortably, great food and drink. He and the crew were very good about giving us a briefing on where we were going, some history of the islands, just overall very pleasant. The lunch was great, the ride... More

My wife and children (17 girl & 15 boy) surprised me by booking this day trip for my birthday, and there couldn't have been a better present! Last time we were in Tortola we visited Virgin Gorda and loved the baths, but we wanted to see what else the area had to offer. This was the perfect way to do... More

In response to the most recent complaint, my husband and I booked our trip over a month in advance. The captain was very friendly but made it clear from the beginning that unless at least 8 people booked for our date, the trip would not move forward. There was no confusion in this regard. The captain made it very easy... More

I went on this boat trip on my last day in the BVI and it certainly saved the best until last ! Glorious sunshine, calm waters, cool tunes, even cooler rum punch and a great home made lunch. The captain and his crew of one were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We went to great snorkel sites, the... More

Didn't get to go on our sail with Arisotcat because they never showed up. Even though we had scheduled with them way in advance of our cruise. How disappointing!!!! Totally ruined our day in Tortola. We were supposed to have sailed with them on March 31, along with a couple from Germany and another from Belgium. When our cruise ship... More
