Our day sail with Captain Dave and Jocelyn could not have been better!! They are the perfect hosts aboard they’re beautiful sailboat!! As soon as we boarded the boat, Jocelyn took our drink orders (we were offered anything from Rum Punch, Pain Killers, Bloody Marys, all types of beer, water, Coke…you name it and they have it) and my glass...

This was our first time sailing with Captain Dave and Jocelyn, but it definitely won't be our last! Captain Dave made arrangements for a half day sail with a less than 24 hour notice and with a price that couldn't be beat. After an amazing first time snorkeling experience, Jocelyn served us some of the best homemade salsa we've ever... More

I am a former bareboat skipper who needs an occasional sailing fix, and my wife and I have enjoyed every sail with Capt. Dave which is why we keep coming back. More

Captain Dave and Jocelyn were perfect hosts. I cannot forget Sophia who greeted us with some spirited barking. Despite a windy day, we had a great time snorkeling, enjoying the boat, eating the fantastic cuisine and of course, imbibing in the local beer and drinks. Snorkel gear was provided, if needed. I would highly recommend time spent with Captain Dave... More

My friends and I scheduled this excursion during one of our cruise stops. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Captain Dave and his trusty dog Sophia took us on a magical journey through the beautiful waters of St. Thomas. Lunch was unbelievable-- best salmon I've ever eaten. First mate Jocelyn mixed up some amazing drinks-- first class bartender!... More

Capt Dave and his wife Jocelyn were phenomenal hosts for our group of four. I have been to St. Thomas four times before and have taken similar excursions with not as great of a service. On these "open bar" sails many of them make you feel bad for asking for another drink, but this wasn't the case as Jocelyn brought... More

A couple friends and I booked Capt Dave to take us out for the day while we were in St. Thomas for our cruise. Capt Dave was a great captain and tour guide. He told us information about all of the islands and took us to the best snorkeling spots (and provided snorkeling gear for us). For lunch he cooked... More
