GBTwo Time Winners This was our second sail aboard a VI Sailing charter boat, and once again, we had a fabulous trip. Nadiya is a well-appointed 47-foot catamaran. Captain Colleen and Chef/First Mate Matt were welcoming, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and eager to make sure our family trip was a success. We sailed over Christmas week -- our first Christmas away from home -- and they made it extra special by decorating the boat, including a tiny Christmas tree! Matt's cooking was five-star every single meal. We asked for healthy meals and fun desserts, and he outdid himself preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners that satisfied our desire for light, fresh food while focusing on truly beautiful presentation. Out two teenage girls had loads of fun snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, hiking, shopping, visiting local hot spots, swimming in the Bubbly Pool and relaxing aboard. Great sailing and lots of fun games of hearts by candlelight!

GBBucket 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.

GBGreat Vacation We chartered a catamaran through VIS for Christmas 2014 and had an amazing vacation! We sailed on the Pisces boat with Steve and Louise, and the entire week couldn't have gone smoother. They planned everything for us, from the pick-up at the airport, to daily activities, to meals our whole family loved (we are picky eaters). They we great about listening to what we wanted and expected out of a vacation and they came through 100%. We couldn't have asked for a better crew or a better vacation.

GBWe loved Antillean! My husband and I had the best time during our honeymoon. Mattias took my husband on numerous very memorable dives. We also loved wake boarding. Amber is an excellent cook, and we enjoyed every meal. They were very knowledgeable on the best things to see and do. We were comfortable on the boat, and wouldn't have changed anything about our trip. I would recommend Antillean to anyone looking to charter.

GBAntillean sailing Only excellent things to say about Virgin Island Sailing Company! Very easy to connect with the staff, everyone pleasant to deal with, always knew who I was & what trip I was planning, had all the information I needed and answered all my questions & got back to me immediately whenever I contacted them. They know the ships and crews and matched us up beautifully with The Antillean. When we took our trip, there were no surprises, thanks to Virgin Island Sailing Company preparing us so very well! Thank you ever so much, Virgin Island Sailing Company!
