HI there. I am coming for my honeymoon next june and am starting to start a little planning. Anyone have any recommendation for a yacht/sailboat that we could charter for a day sail to virgin gorda? Do any have an overnight sail included? Thanks ahead of time. ALso anyone know of where to find solo steelpan drummer? Thanks again:) lisa
Hello Lisa,
You might look into http://www.interlinesail.com they do overnight boat trips... but I think it might be a couple days but definately look into it. You can try contacting the folks at http://www.mokojumbi.com they likely could help you find a solo steelpan player if you aren't able to locate one directly.

The only Steel Pan Drummer SOLO I can think of is at the Best Western Emerald Beach hotel on every Friday night at the Palms Hotel Restaurant. Included with this night is a Caribbean Buffet (local caribbean dishes). The EBR is 1/4 mile from the King Airport in STT...but Sam and or Rolston the beach bartenders make it fun. 🙂
Try Bill Bass. He plays solo at the Sunday brunch at Rumrunners. He is excellent and plays on all the islands. Check out his website or call for his schedule:
Bill Bass Steel Pans: Caribbean Music,Steeldrums,Steel Pan Music,St. Croix Musician,Steel Drum Music,Steelpans,St. Croix ...
St. Croix musician Bill Bass' collection of steel pan music featuring Caribbean music, Calypso steel drums, Tropical music, Trinidad music, Virgin Islands Music and Caribbean Gospel music.

Good suggestion on Bill Bass; great music.... Lisa do keep in mind he is on St. Croix - so if you are on St. Thomas or St. John and need him to perform there you would need to fly him over??

Andrew is another solo pan player. I am not sure how you can find him. He plays at Blue Moon, Bonnie's and several other places. He is a Trini and very good!
Andrew has a day job at island marine in crown bay. and yes he is very good , and a great guy to.
As far as a day charter the Jester out of the point pleaseant resort is the best(sailjester.com) !!! Captain Jim is Great . My husband and I charted him for a day trip and it was truly one of the best days we have spent on this earth! If you can't talk Jimmy Buffet into taking you sailing for a day Capt. Jim is the 2nd best thing. We are going to vist Soggy Dollar and Foxys with him again this July and I can't wait!!! Congratulations and Best Wishes To You and yours!
