We've been going to St. John off and on during the summer since 1995. Initially, for several years, we took large motorboat snorkeling trips that included British Virgin Islands. They were okay, but we were just one of dozens of people on a crowded boat (an assembly-line sort of snorkeling experience) THEN WE DISCOVERED CLOUD 9-- what a wonderful experience,... More

There were five of us on our trip. We had a dive/snorkel stop, and then went on to Jost Van Dyke. At Jost, we had lunch at Foxy's (and he was actually there - great guy!), then on to Soggy Dollar Bar for some painkillers. Jason and Leslie were kind, professional, and fun. Jason pointed out various spots in St.... More

Cloud 9 is a nice mono-hull sailboat that can take 6 guests. With 6 guests, its a little cramped for a day of sailing once you add the crew of two. The crew spent our entire trip answering and returning phone calls to book reservations with future guests instead of tending to us. I'd recommend Kekoa Sailing Expeditions for more... More

We spent our first day on Cloud 9 just 2 days after our first ever arrival on St. John following a recommendation given by our rental villa greeter (a very nice person herself). We sailed around the little islands and discovered extremly friendly hosts in Jason and Leslie. This first experience was so wonderful that we decided to book a... More

We spent a day on Cloud 9 a little over a week ago. We are motor boat owners and from that perspective it did not seem like we travelled a lot of territory on Cloud 9. However that was not the point of our trip. We wanted to experience what it felt like to be under sail on a 47'... More

We booked a 3 hour simple day cruise with these guys. Very nice people but the trip stunk They hovered around the entrance to Cruz bay and never went farther than lenover (sic) island for a snorkel. The snorkel was terrible I couldn't see a foot in front of me. It was rough that day and they picked the most... More

We are sorry you feel this way, but we find your review very unfair and inaccurate! We did take you for a very nice sail and we did stop at one of the better snorkel sites that day. And, we put a lot of effort into pleasing our guest. First, you booked a half day, 3 hour trip on a... More

We had a ball with Captain Jason, Leslie and Caroline. They took care of everything - we are novice snorkelers but they provided great instruction and equipment, no need to rent anything ahead of time. Highly recommend the full day sailing trip. We went to two snorkeling spots and had a great lunch in between. The sail back was wonderful... More

We took two excursions on Cloud 9, a couple of years apart, and enjoyed them both. As a sailor, I appreciate SAILING - not just motoring around with the main sail up, like some other charters do... Jason was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The cats down below were an interesting touch! More

Spent an amazing day sailing to Jost Van Dyke with Captain Jason and First Mate Caroline. They provided an incredible day with great service and lots of fun. The boat itself is in great shape and is very user-friendly. They organize a great day with multiple stops around Jost (snorkeling, eating, drinking) and you'll love every minute of it. Great...
