my son went with a family sailing with arabella. he said the captain and his wife who served as cook were wonderful. helpful when they needed help, but not obtrusive. it was his first sailing trip and loves sailing now.

Hi,

My husband and I justed booked an Arbella Cruise from December 28 - Jan 3rd. We have never been on this cruise before. We would love to know also if anybody else has and what their experience was. We are staying 3 days beforehand on St. Thomas at a B&B that sounds fabulous!!!! Got 5 star reviews. So if anybody else needs a recommendation beforehand or afterwards, please let us know.

Thanks,

Tammy and Warren Ross

Hi guys

WOW!

We are definitely going to go on the Arabella again.

We took the Spanish Virgin Islands trip and, although unsure about this size of ship, really enjoyed ourselves.

There were 35 guests including us. Everyone seemed pretty darned nice and friendly. The best part is the sailing - super relaxing. Took only a day or so for the sea legs to kick in.

The crew was absolutely perfect - friendly, definitely unobtrusive, called everyone by name, were very polite and sincere.

Eric was our cook (oops, sorry Eric - CHEF!) - great job! Breakfasts were yummy, lunch right on and the snacks after snorkelling/kayaking (as in warm fresh baked brownies, cookies, warm brie w/crackers, cheese,crackers and grapes - get my drift?) were great.

You will enjoy the trip!
