Our day sail on the White Squall II last Saturday was definitely the highlight of our Tortola vacation. It is a beautiful ship and the captain and crew were wonderful. We had more than enough delicious drinks and got in plenty of snorkeling around Norman Island. The captain radioed ahead our lunch orders to Willy T's so that our lunch... More

When my husband and I first showed up that morning, we walked down the pier and took one look at this old, unaccommodating boat and realized then we had made a mistake but since we had already paid, knew we could not get my money back so tried to make the best of it. When we walked back up the... More

My wife and I had a wonderful day on the White Squall II. The crew was professional, extremely pleasant, and lots of fun. When we get back down to the islands we will definately be going aboard again. Don't forget to get a shirt and a bottle of rum to bring home with you. More

My wife and I chartered the White Squall II during our cruise vacation the week of March 10th. No - it is not a fancy modern Catamaran but that is why you MUST select this venue. Sailing aboard a truely unique 2 mast frigate built in the 1930's was a wonder to behold. But the experience does not end there.... More

We were in Tortola for 12 days last May- We booked a day sail on the White Squall II and had a fantastic time- Chris and Becca were great and kept the drinks coming-- They never rushed us when we anchored to snorkle- We all loved the historic wooden schooner. After reading the reviews of the great on board lunch... More

Our family of four (two kids in 20's) took our second day sail on White Squall II, ably captained by Chris, and crew, Ashley, to the Baths at Virgin Gorda, and Cooper Island. The Baths are always spectacular and evocative. We had a sunny day, which spotlighted the wonderful coral and fish life to be observed on the snorkeling swim... More

A full day on a classic sailing vessel promised to be a great experience and we were not disappointed. The crew are quite rightly proud of White Squall II, a wooden schooner with plenty of history. Chris the skipper and Ashley the first mate greeted us on board and made us feel very welcome; they looked after us throughout the... More

This was our fourth trip on White Squall ll. Needless to say the previous trips were superb and this was no different. The captain and crew were serious about their job - the captain making sure everyone was safe and the crew making sure everyone enjoyed themselves - a winning combination. Two sessions of snorkling and a floating meal. We... More

We arrived at the appointed time. Our cruise ship was on Tortola time. We were met by skipper Chris and Ashley and were briefed about safety etc. We knew the ship was a sail craft (thats why we went on it). It was ideal for a good day at sea inclusive of snorkeling equipment. We went to Norman Island and... More
