I booked with Kathleen after reading her EXCELLENT reviews on Trip Advisor and needless to say they did not disappoint! Kathleen was training her new mate Melissa that day and for her first day she did so well! The water was warm and perfectly blue, the sail is very relaxing! Kathleen took us to Caneel Bay of the coast of... More

From the emails, phone calls, taxi ride, meeting at the dock to the exceptional food sailing and snorkeling this trip was simply perfect,actually our word of the day was,"divine"! Kathleen and Serena were awesome, I'm not a big "hugging" kind of guy but felt compelled to give Kathleen a hug when we first met! I just felt as if we... More

Thank you Kathleen, Serena, Sabena we had a wonderful day! The snorkeling was amazing, the lunch was simply delicious . My husband and I kept saying "we feel very special".

We had a wonderful and relaxing day. The kids and I loved the snorkling and swimming and my wife loved the fact that she could just relax. Kathleen and Serena were more than attentive! I would recommend a day on High Pockets to people of all ages. Odom Heebe - New Orleans, LA More

We found High Pockets Daysail during our research for things to do during our St. Thomas visit. What a great pick! Kathleen and Serena lived up to all of the compliments given in other posts. High Pockets is a 42" sail boat purchased new by Kathleen Nelson's husband in 1970. He obviously does a wonderful job of maintaining her. She... More

Thanks to my neighbor, Lorena, for suggesting that the best part of our St. Thomas vacation would be sailing on High Pockets. She was sure right! We had an amazing family day - 6 of us - sailing, snorkeling, a wonderful meal and some amazing views! Thanks Kathleen and Jim for a day my family and I will always remember. More

Kathleen and her first mate, Serena, welcomed us to St. Thomas and showed us a day that will be hard to beat -- a memorable day that can't be topped! We had a group of six on the boat (our family plus one other couple) and were out on the water for about 6 wonderful hours with delicious drinks (fresh... More

My husband, teenage daughter and I did a day sail on High Pockets and it was honestly the highlight of our trip to St. Thomas. High Pockets take only 6 passengers so you will have a personal and relaxing experience. On our day sail there was also a very nice couple so we were just 5. The owner/captain, Kathleen Nelson...

Arrived via Emerald Princess. Kathleen had Mrs. Hastenings (prearranged taxi driver) waiting with a sign just of the cruise pier @ 8:30am. Short drive to Red Hook docks, where Kathleen mets us. Mrs Hastenings will be back @3:30pm for our drive back to port. Small inflatable dingy ride to High Pockets, where Kathleen's hubby Jimmy was already on board. Her... More

It felt like a big risk to take a daysail not knowing what to expect other than from reviews. But all of the positive reviews are right on. We would definitely do it again! Our family of three joined another couple who had come from a cruise ship. Together Kathleen and her husband--Serena was sick--set to being the host with... More
