We stayed in St Thomas for a week and were looking for some fun activities. Like so many of you here I went to Trip Advisor and researched the top rated ones. We went with High Pockets based on the previous reviews and were not disappointed! We did an afternoon sail (12-6pm) and Kathleen gave us great directions to the... more

My husband and another couple were on a cruise with a stop in St Thomas. We were looking for a unique experience that did not involve a lot of people and found High Pockets' website.

We wanted something unique and more personal that the standard cruise ship excursion with 40 plus on it and this was it. First off our itenerary kept changing but Captain Kathleen was willing to work with us. She arranged for a Taxi to meet us at the pier.

My family chose to sail with High Pockets after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed! Kathleen and first mate Paul were wonderful! Kathleen met us at the dock, and we were transported by dinghy to their lovely sailboat. When I felt the motion of the boat and realized that I'd forgotten to apply my seasickness patch,... more
