We hate to submit this review, but our experience was significantly different from that which others described. The winds weren’t great for sailing, but it feels like Phil’s sailing skills might not be what they were in his younger days. He no longer has the first mate referred to in his brochure. The food was not a “delicious Caribbean lunch”. In fact we had some food safety concerns. We also had some mechanical issues with the boat that were resolved after some time, but also were not reassuring. Phil suffered a few minor injuries (which he did not bandage up) during the trip that resulted in him leaving blood behind in several places.

Our group - grandparents, parents and teens - enjoyed our 1/2 day sail and snorkel adventure. Captain Phil is extremely experienced and explains everything clearly. Highly recommend!

We were delighted by our recent sail with Captain Phil. He deserves his legendary status in St. John.HE KNOWS THE WATERS AND SNORKEL SPOTS INTIMATELY. He is a naturalist with deep knowledge of the USVI. We also got incredibly helpful tips and solutions for why our brand new masks were fogging up. We also were helped by mate Tarn to have a fantastic snorkel. Highly recommend.…

Turned out to be a great sailing day!…

Just spent another day sailing with Captain Phil and his mate. Besides being an accomplished sailor, Phil is a great story teller who readily shares his experience, knowledge, and love of the area. Don’t miss the Wayward Sailor!
