This is the best commercial schooner trip I have taken. I did the trip to Tobago Cays. Ship has plenty of room to lounge and enjoy the sail to the Cays. Benches and seats have comfy cushions. From the minute you get on board till the end of the day food and drink is plentiful and 1 st class. We... More

It's all been said. However, we took the trip to Mustique a few years ago and loved it. Today we went to Tobago Keys and it topped it. Wonderful attention, lovely sail through great scenery, great breakfast with good coffee as we sailed, snacks and drinks en route, lovely and attentive crew, Snorkelled and saw 4 turtles plus a lovely...

Took a day trip to the Tobago Cays on the Friendship Rose. Excellent crew, excellent food and a dream destination!

Lovely old boat, old island ferry built in Friendship bay, by the 83 year old captain. Went to Mustique, but except for a drink in an empty Basils bar (what did you expect), was pleased to think that I had been to Mustique. Both trips are all day; the Cays are from 7 am till 6 / 7 pm. All... More

The weather had been quite chaotic prior to our trip, and we had heard of a rough trip to the Tobago Cays. The Friendship Rose can't control the weather, and had cancelled a few trips for safety reasons, but we lucked out with a stellar day sailing to Mustique. We had a small group that got along well, and by... More

What a wonderful day. From the minute we stepped onto to boat, till the time we disembarked, the crew make every effort to make it an amazing day. Great food, great scenery, great people.

It was a lovely day to sail to Mustique! After motoring to the end of Bequia, we set sail to Mustique. The crew could not have been more attentive. The captain, now in his 80s, built the boat as a young man. It's still a treasure! Although it was quite windy, no one got sea sick, party due to proactive... More

To be fair, my opinion of the whole day aboard Friendship Rose is a little bit biased, because the weather was absolutely awful the day we made the trip. We're talking 10-foot waves, pounding rain interchanging with light drizzle for most of the day and massive wind gusts. The sun came out for maybe an hour or two during this... More

We did a day sail from Bequia to Tobago Cays and had a wonderful time. The schooner is beautiful, and well-cared for. The crew is very attentive, making sure you have food and drink, and the lunch they served was excellent. It was a bit disappointing to never be completely under sail (the main was undergoing repairs, I heard from... More
