After doing some Google research I stumbled across Mindy and Big Blue. As a natural skeptic I often rely on what others say before buying anything. Gypsy Girl's reviews were exceptional and I am here to confirm what I read. I was able to book Mindy the week before our cruise. As it turns out I was lucky to get... More

We went out on gypsea girl for the third day of our vacation and spent an additional 2 days with captain Mindy and captain Roy ( not planned but we HAD too). They are so knowledgable, customer friendly and accommodating. We had no idea what we wanted to do but within 15 minutes captain mindy catered a trip to fit... More

From the moment we stepped on to Mindy's Gypsy Girl, she catered to my families every wish. She took us all over the BVIs and we couldn't have asked for a better rainy day experience. Snorkeling, drinking at Soggy Dollar, naked back flips off Willy Ts... You name it we did it. Would recommend her to anyone! More

If you are fortunate enough to be in St John, then a trip on the Gypsea Girl will be the icing on the cake! Friends and I went out for the day, touring some of the islands in the BVIs. Snorkeling, swimming, bar-hopping (Must stop at the Soggy Dollar Bar!) and relaxing in the sun. Gypsea Girl was beautiful, comfortable... More

We spent Friday the 13th with Captain Mindy on Gypsea Girl. We were a large group so we teamed up with Mindy and Captain Rick of lion Inda sun, this worked out well and is a viable option when you have more than 6 in your party. We went to several terrific snorkel spots, and then on to Jost, where... More

SO glad we booked Captain Mindy! We had the most perfect day. We booked the entire day for our family of five (husband and I, and our 9, 11 and 15 yr old). Mindy was very informative, interesting, fun and an all-around great tour guide! We saw spectacular beaches and stopped at some great snorkeling stops throughout the day. At... More

My husband and I and two teenagers (14, 16) were on St. John for 4 days and decided to charter a boat for a day to see some of the BVIs. After looking at the different options we went with the small charter so we could do what we wanted to. I can't say enough about Captain Mindy and her... More

We took this boat out of St Thomas for the day and it was the best. We were a group of 6 ladies (three generations) doing a dream trip with my Mom. She has MS and it is hard for her to do group tours. When we found that Capt Mindy would be our private guide for the day we... More

Capt. Mindy could not have made our day any better ! She made our day be everything that we requested. We snorkeled around different areas of St. John - had lunch in the BVI and back to St. John for more snorkeling. Our daughters loved having a female captain. We would highly recommend using Capt. Mindy..... she gave us a... More

This is our second vacation in St. John, and our second boat trip. Mindy was terrific! She was perfect with the kids, and planned the perfect day for us. Our last boat trip was very good, but in hindsight, it was nothing compared to a day on the Gypsea Girl. I'm so glad I spent the little extra and got... More
