My parents, husband, and I made our first vacation to St John this spring. We wanted to do at least one snorkel/day sail, and after reading a lot of reviews we selected Sail Safari's Fly Girl. Why we chose Fly Girl: Great Reviews here on Trip Advisor Small tour group (maximum 6 plus crew) Smaller size catamaran made you feel... More

Why would you do it any other way?? This stable, well skippered, catamaran is the perfect alternative to the big party boats you might otherwise choose to see the Virgin Islands from the Ocean. We loved Bridget and Sarah and felt well tended to under their personable, capable command. With only 6 passengers, it was almost like a private charter.... More

We booked the Fly Girl day charter about six weeks before visiting St John. We chose the snorkel/lunch day because we have been to the BVIs and we wanted to avoid customs and just focus on sailing and snorkeling. We really enjoyed our captain, Yanni, and crew, Devon. We had a great day...but I can only give the day a... More

We actually weren't a family with teenagers... it was my parents and my brothers and I. The three of us are 33, 31, and 26... but we usually act like teenagers, so that was the closest option. Anyway, sailing about "Fly Girl" was an awesome experience. Han and Samantha were awesome hosts... Very knowledgeable about the islands and their history...... More

We've been going to St. John for several years now, and we usually do one boating day trip while there. Most have been just okay. This year, however, we went on Sail Safaris' catamaran Fly Girl, which accommodates only 6 passengers and sails to local snorkeling spots. Simply put, it's the only such trip that we would do again. The... More

We chose Fly Girl as wanted a small boat with the capability to actually sail vs a big tourist motor boat. We are so glad we did. The boat only holds 6 guests but the day we went out it was just my husband and I. Our crew Michelle and Bridgette were fantastic. They were very professional, friendly and fun.... More

Just got back to our rental house after a great day on the water with Bridget and Devon. Saw wide variety of sea life, snorkeling in 3 lovely spots. Highly recommend the trip on Fly Girl - enjoyed many laughs with the experienced Captain Bridget and First Mate/Snorkeling guide Devon. More

Had a great day snorkling and sailing to Jost Van Dyke with Capt. Bridgette and First-mate Devon, along with some nice peole from Wisconsin.on the beautiful Fly Girl. Devon was the perfect guide while snorkling at a National Park island, identifying some of the fish we saw. We then sailed over to Jost Van Dyke, where we had lunch at... More

This was the highlight of our trip. The Fly Girl crew, Bridgette and Michelle, took us on a wonderful snorkeling trip to three different spots in the Carribean Sea. They are experienced sailors and shared an immense knowlege of the sea, it's living creatures, and the Virgin Islands. They are delightful young ladies and served a very nice lunch and... More

Fly girl is a small (6 Person) sailing catamaran that makes for a totally unique experience. The crew was highly professional and helped to enhance the experience. It is great to just zip across the water with nothing but the sound of the wind. On our trip the crew took us to three very different snorkeling locations, each of which... More
