Booked this excursion before our cruise and called the office directly to ask them about the time discrepancy to make sure that we would arrive in time to make the excursion. I was ASSURED that the Carnival Dream made it into port in plenty of time to make the excursion so I booked it. Upon arrival in St. Thomas, we... More

We had booked a day sail with New Horizons as a shore excursion in late October 2011 and received a confirmation and boarding pass through a third-party booking agent. I also confirmed arrangements directly with New Horizons at the same time. Ten days before we were due to sail, however, the booking agent called to say New Horizons had cancelled.... More

We took a full day sail / snorkel tour to Saint Johns and enjoyed it a lot. We snorkeled in two different areas. The first was a protected bay, and we saw sea turtles, rays, and the variety of small, colorful fish that you would expect in the Caribbean. The boat was comfortably crowded with young and middle aged couples,... More

This trip was definitely the highlight of a week we spent in the US Virgin Islands, Jan. 2012. The boat is beautiful, and well maintained. The staff were very kind and helpful to my husband who has mobility difficulties, making sure he could get on board OK, and allowing us to sit in the cockpit. The cruise over over to... More

I'm talking about the dinner cruise. I couldn't find anywhere else to review this awesome experience. We found out about the cruise at our resort and I had also read about others recommending the cruise. We went to Sapphire Beach Resort Marina to board a beautiful 50 + foot sail boat. I am not much of a "water person", so... More

Our family of 4 couldn't have been happier with New Horizons Daysail from Sapphire Bay Marina! Traveled with our 2 teenaged daughters(18&15) who hadn't snorkeled or sailed before and they had a blast. When we arrived at the marina it was raining, but Capt. Steve assured us that the radar looked clear and that he would find us some good... More

A great relaxing day on the water. This is a great trip as long as the boat has 15 or fewer passengers. Our trip had 10 and there was plenty of room to move around. They serve up a fabulous lunch with unlimited beverage of choice. Captain Jeff and First Mate John were top notch in hospitality in making sure... More

We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise (1st anniversary) and had signed up for this excursion a few weeks before the cruise even departed. We were excited for it, and what a day it was. We had to take a taxi to the marina at Sapphire Bay, and being the first 2 people off the boat at 7 am, there... More
