Virgin Island Sailing and our charter on Bel Ami We chose Virgin Island Sailing to help us make charter arrangements for a sailing vacation in the Virgin Islands. Their website was vey helpful and provided lots of detail. After choosing the best option for us, Melody and her staff answered our many questions. They were very helpful and we would choose them again.

Bucket List Adventure - truly remarkable outdoor experience Captain Jim and first mate and cook extra-ordinary (Sherri) were fantastic. They know the islands inside and out and were open to all suggestions and accomodations. Their piloted the catamaran Nadiya through US and Britsh Virgin Islands. The snorkling was really great - we saw spotted eagle rays and less seen cuddle fish; we even snorkeled over an old ship reck and swam with turtles. Weather was perfect. Sunsets fantastic. We love the outdoors and the green, turquoise blue water. We have already shared pictures and stories with friends and family. Yes, we are recommending this trip to others. Something everyone should try to do if they can.

Absolutely rude and unresponsive despite being repeat customers for over two years Been brokering through VI Sailing for the last two years with Emily. The first year went okay. There were some misunderstandings concerning the number of people that were to be on trip that caused some 11th hour hurdles but Emily helped us out and even split some of the extra costs with us. The second year, the boat we chartered with Emily ran aground and it happened unbeknownst to VI Sailing. We ultimately made things work out but VI Sailing did very little to help alleviate about a month's worth of consternation leading up to our arrival. The third year we contact Emily and VI Sailing again about booking another yacht or two and she/they promised to work on it. We heard nothing back from her and frankly still haven't. We ended up having to reach out to your prior Captain and he arranged our trip. I would love to recommend VI Sailing because sailing in the BVI is magically but I find VI Sailing and their staff reactive at best and unresponsive to issues at worse. You can do better than this given how much it costs to charter and all the moving pieces they are suppose to be taking care of on your behalf. Beware of this operation and, if you do choose them, Emily in particular.

Very grateful for wonderful service! Emily and her team provided amazing service. She helped us book a charter in 2015 which sadly fell through due to a health issue with the captain, but was right there to help us book another charter in 2016. She connected us with a great boat and crew, facilitated all the details, and even helped us rent extra SUPs and had them delivered to the boat. Overall, a very personal and thorough service. Highly recommended!

Catamaran Vacation on Nutmeg From the start, VI sailing was easy to communicate with and supplied us with many options to fit our budget. In the end we trusted their experience and knowledge about the boat and crew we chose. That was a good move on our part since Nutmeg could not have been more perfect. The information supplied by VI Sailing helped with the logistics with the ferry system and much needed information about the BVI's.
