Who would you recommend using for sailing around the US(sans STX)/BVIs for daysails and snorkeling in STJ. We've done the motor boat thing here and in the pacific and would now much rather use a sailing vehicle albeit our adventure will be in the hands of the Trades that day. The resort we're staying at has their "preferred" provider but I'm wondering if there's anyone who can do it better.

Thanks in advance.

White Wing out of Coral Bay is terrific. Great host, lunch and snorkeling spots. Also, a spotless sailboat! We had lots of fun.

Hello Ars,

Take a look at

https://www.vinow.com/stthomas/SandL/

There are a few charters listed there with the links to their web sites. Jester and Ike Witt are 6 packs - max is 6 passengers... so they are small customized sails. Very nice. Captain tells stories, talks about the islands, lunch is included. New Horizons is for bigger groups or takes out several smaller groups together.

Sailing is great fun, very relaxing!!

We have always used New Horizons and completely enjoy the experience each time.

I booked White Wing through Connections in St. John. I'm sure Connections has a web site.
