We knew that we wanted a real water adventure as if we had your own Hobie Cat and hang our arms or legs off the sides or jump off and swim. Luckily we scheduled with Han on a Tuesday. We loved it soooo much, we were back on Thursday for the whole day and went for lunch at Foxy's. We... more

Because of the great reviews on TripAdvisors, we booked a trip with Capt. Han during Thanksgiving week. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to take us out. He recommended that we go out with Fuego, one of his guys. I'm so glad he made that suggestion, because we had an amazing day! Fuego is an excellent sailor, really knows the area and... more

I just returned from my annual trip to ST John, and my first order of business was booking a full day charter with Captain Han on his great Hobie Cats! As always we had a wonderful time, snorkeling and soaking up the sun! Captain Han's knowledge and passion for sailing and the islands is truly inspiring. We were happy to... more

I guess I had a different experience than the other post. Our guide was not Hans. We had a lady. From what I gather, the other couple that was going on the Hobie Cat with us cancelled, and Hans called another couple who was on a waiting list right when we were suppose the leave. That couple was on the... more

Hi to all our wonderful guests thanks so much for all the generous reviews. I wanted to apologize to Beth for having to wait. The other two really wanted to go and we didn't want to leave them since it was their last day. Regardless, I know vacation time is precious and we will make sure that doesn't happen again....

December 30, 2008 A beautiful experience sailing around St. John's on one of Sail Safaris deluxe catamarans. Capt. Han is an excellent host (no small wonder as he was a personal concierge to a billionaire), a very capable sailor, knowledgeable historian, and socially and ecologically conscious advocate of the pristine beauty to be found throughout The Virgin Islands. A great... more

My husband and I had the wonderful pleasure of Sailing with Sail Safaris on November 14th. We had an absolute blast with Will as our captain. This is the absolutely best way to see the beautiful reefs of St John. We had a full day sail to three secluded beaches. There was nobody but us snorkeling. This beat other snorkeling... more

My wife and I were in St. John for a wedding and booked an afternoon sail / snorkel trip with Sail Safaris with another couple. Captain Han was terrific, and his sailboat was a great way to explore the beaches and snorkeling sites around St. John. Han knew a lot about the islands and could answer all of our questions... more

we organized this excursion ourselves from an advert on the internet. We wanted the fun of sailing ourselves in the Caribbean - not floating around with other people on a big boring catamaran - and this outing with Captain Han was fabulous. He supplied waterproof bags for our gear, because, yes, we did go fast and we did get splashed!... more

We had an awesome day with Niels and Han at Sail Safaris. Snorkeling at Lovango Cay was an adventure. Highly recommend this day-trip. But make sure to pile on the sunscreen. more

My husband and I recently took a week-long vacation to St John and booked a day-long sailing trip to Jost Van Dyke with Sail Safaris. Han was a wonderful guide and made us feel like we were out sailing with an old friend. He was very knowledgeable about the islands and the people there, and the out-of-the-way things to experience.... more
