A day trip on Kekoa is an entertaining experience for those who just want to chill out as well as those looking for more active things. Kekoa is much like any other day sail from St John - good crew, lovely anchorages and sailing, nice drinks - and yet different from most. What I found most enjoyable on our day... More

A trip on Kekoa is a MUST in St. John! My wife and I were there with 2 other couples and the folks at Blacksail decided to "start" a new cruise just for us only a week out from when we were planning to be there. We were celebrating everyone's 40th and this was simply fantastic! There was only 1... More

We took a day trip on Kekoa. Regaled by Captain Jamison and charmed by his low-key, cool and personable crew, it is an experience of a lifetime. The knowledge, experience and sincere warmth of this group of mates is impossible to describe, you just have to experience it.. We had a great snorkel, a stop a "Foxy's" on Jost Van... More

The day was full of superb snorkeling, food, music , and drink. Our two 11 year olds had a ball! We strongly recommend this sail! We can't wait till our next trip with... More

Great day on the Kekoa! Chartered it along with Captain Jamison, Soon-to-be Captain Sarah and First and/or Second Mate Annie...all of whom were the best. Weather semi co-operated - sunny and clear, but knot quite windy enough! So didn't get a good chance to see what the black sails looked full, but Cap'n Jamison made up for it by allowing... More

My wife and I took the full day sailing trip on Kekoa and had a great time. Jamison (our captain) and his brother built this catamaran and the pride truly shows plus he'll share with you the fascinating story of the boat. The snorkel stops were great and the snorkel gear is first class. Plus the snacks and lunch were... More

We took the sunset snorkel and sail. It was great! I highly recommend. Crew was great. Boat is beautiful and glows at night. Next time we're back on the island we will sail with them again. More
