The friendliest and best day sail trip in the BVI, offering a FULL DAY sail, 9.30am-5.00pm, (or timings to match your cruise ship schedule)on 48ft sailing catamarans to beautiful Jost van Dyke or to the Norman Island area to enjoy some of the best snorkelling the islands have to offer.

Our final day in the BVI was spent on a day sail with Aristocat. We chose the itinerary that included three snorkel stops at Norman Island, the Indians and one additional reef. Captain Steve and 1st mate, Gilbo, were professional, friendly, and obviously very happy with what they do. The boat itself is immaculate. It was heavenly to lie on... More

My husband and I recently went to Tortola for our honeymoon. We went on a day sail with Aristocat to Norman Island and had a fantastic day. Captain Steve and Gilbo were so friendly and pleasant to be around. They made a wonderful lunch and had plenty of drinks. Even though about half of out day was rainy, it was... More

We just returned from our trip to Tortola. Not only was it the best vacation ever, but the snorkeling trip with Capt. Steve and Gilbo was by far the best we've been on, having been traveling to different Caribbean islands for over twenty years. They were very personable and professional. The snorkeling was sooo enjoyable, with clear, calm water and... More

The first nice thing about the Aristocrat was that it was docked at the end of the pier that our ship docked at. Like most all cats, it was a barefoot experience from the time you got on until you left.\ the boat. We were 11 people ranging in age from 7 1/2 - 70 plus. We were joined by... More

Our sail yesterday to Norman Island was wonderful. Steve has a classy catamaran which is very well kept and very comfortable. Lunch was also served which was very nice, allowing us to snorkel in the secluded bay while they (Steve and Gilbo) prepared lunch. We enjoyed this very much and appreciated skipping the Willie T's lunch (party option) since we... More

After booking a last minute cruise with my daughter to be with my sister and her husband, we managed to get reservations on the Lionheart with Captain Gilbo and Kim. I have been on other catamarans and this is by far the cleanest, friendliest and best deal for your money. The cost is no more than the cruise ships offer... More

My husband and I sailed on Aristocat on 4/17/12, with Gilbo and Kim. Gilbo was a fine captain, but I must say I am impressed with how hard Kim worked. She was a wonderful hostess, chef, and sailor. We visited from a cruise ship and the convenience of getting to the catamaran was incredible. It was literally closer than any... More

I can't say enough good things about Captain Steve and his crew. Very friendly, CLEAN boat, alot of places to lay and sit comfortably, great food and drink. He and the crew were very good about giving us a briefing on where we were going, some history of the islands, just overall very pleasant. The lunch was great, the ride... More
