Our 36 ft. sailing sloop has a large shaded cockpit, a clean marine bathroom, and a well-outfitted galley. There’s also a custom-built swim platform with a deep ladder so that you can easily get in and out of the water. Sail as much or as little as you like, and even take the helm yourself or just relax and unwind. We’ll swim with tarpons, and snorkel the barrier reef where we’ll guide you to the very best habitats. This sailing excursion is perfect for couples, families, a group of friends, or small company outing. You’ll love the experience of chartering a sailboat and it will undoubtedly be the best part of your vacation on St. Croix!

“A Fantastic Day of Sailing!”

Reviewed May 20, 2012 NEW

Highly recommended. Capt. Dee hosted a wonderful day of sailing, snorkeling, and lunch aboard 'Zulu.' Capt. Dee even made a fantastic garden burger for our lunch when she learned I was a vegetarian. This was our first trip to St. Croix, and our first sailing adventure. I would do it again! More

“A delightful and civilized way to sail around St. Croix!”

I am still laughing about "I made a boo-boo"! I can not believe that I met people that actually know where Lake Chautauqua IS! Yes this was the first place I ever sailed. I was balast! If I am ever up that way I will look you up. Thanks for the great day and i will let my customers know... More

My new wife and I recently had the pleasure of sailing with Capt. Dee in early March. After a wedding, a few days of scuba diving, snorkeling, and sightseeing on the island, a nice relaxing sail was what we were looking for. The weather couldn't have been better, the boat was in great shape, and Capt. Dee prepared a tastey... More

SO nice to come home to a great tripadvisor review. The eagle rays were out there again today,as well as spawning large mutton snapper. It is amazing this time of year on the isnad as the water temperature is warming (if you can believe that!) and the winds are spectacular for fair weather sailors! Come back to St. Croix paradise...

Well well well what a nice way to wake up to this great review. Thank you for all the compliments. I remember the wind was brisk and out of the Southeast that day. You all loved the heel of the boat and the motion of the ocean did't effect you one bit. It was so nice to experience your joy... More

We had a wonderful time with Dee, and her 1st mate Jason! Communication was rough beforehand, since I did not give Dee all the information I should have (my fault!) but once we met her and Jason, and pushed off, we had a ball. The kids were dubious but they loved it. We did an afternoon custom tour - I... More

Ms. L We had a blast with your family too! The weather has been so great and I have been getting more families that want to have interactive sailing adventures. I love summer here as the wind is usually light and we can teach the basics with more hands on the helm with more ease. Today we found a nurse... More
