The 46 ft sailing vessel Survivan is a smooth sailer. Ask Captain Jason how it got it's name - it will give you lots of confidence in his abilities. Captain Jason and his crew Lu and small dog Titon are great hosts. They are very knowledgable about the waters and surrounding islands. The vessel is moored in Cruz Bay near... More

Our best day in St John was sailing to Jost Van Dyke on Survivan with Lou, Jason, Trident and their "trainee" Colleen. The boat was great-very clean and well kept and it's very intimate since they only take 6 passengers. Jason and Lou were easy going and professional. They took us to a beautiful snorkel spot along the way. JVD... More

We went sailing with Captain Jason and his crew (Lu and Triton) in early May. We had a fantastic experience! They was very friendly and helpful. Food was great too--lots of delicious options. I will definitely go sailing with them again next time! More

From the moment Jason picked us up on the rubber zodiac, to our return on the beach we had a terrific day. Being greeted by Lu and the adorable mini-schnauzer Triton on-board the Survivan was great. The sail boat is a beauty - clean and well maintained. The only take a maximum of 6 passengers, we were a party of... More

My family (5 y/o, 3 y/o, wife and 60 year old grandparents) spent the day on Survivan this past Wednesday and we couldn't have had a better time. First, setting up the trip ahead of time was simple and easy. Jason responded promptly and after a short chat about what we were looking for in a day sail, took a... More

We took a full-day snorkeling trip around St. John. Jason and Lou were friendly, knowledgable and helpful, the food was terrific, and the boat is first class. They were especially accommodating of our young children and our desire to stay in calmer waters to avoid problems with sea sickness. A great time was had by all. More

My wife Tammy and another couple traveling with us spent the day sailing on Survivan, and what a great experience. Jason, Lu and Triton were excellent hosts and provided us with a personalized sailing experience that far exceeded our expectations. Snorkeling off Little St James and serving us a gourmet lunch that was incredible. Their knowledge of the area added... More

My husband and I have stayed on St. John many times and we've also sailed the BVIS on our own. Over the years, we have done snorkel/day sails with various boats. Survivan had very positive write ups, so decided to give them a shot. Jason was very good with getting all of us on the boat. My husband has 2... More

We would like to apologize for having what you considered to be an “off day” We would also like to apologize for not being able to go out with you guys on the second trip you requested. Hopefully you will still come sailing with us again in the future. More

My wife Shelly and I had the pleasure of spending 14 incredible days on St John last month with three other couples, all seasoned travelers both professionaly and for leisure. There wasn't one day that wasn't terrific but without a doubt our group agreed that the day we spend sailing on Survian and her sister ship was the best one... More

We went with Jason and Lu to the BVI. We stopped at a great snorkel spot, and then we went to the beautiful beaches of Jost Van Dyke. The Soggy Dollar Bar was a lot of fun. The best part is the company, Jason and Lu make you feel right at home on their boat. Triton was entertaining and a... More
