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!

GBvi sailing review VI Sailing website was great in allowing us to find the cattermaran that best met our family wants and needs for this vacation. My Husband had a pleasant experience working with Ellen. She answered all questions and prepared us for our trip. We will definitely use VI sailing again!

GBAbsolutely 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.

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!

GBAs Planned - Perfection From the ease of the website to the ease in communications, our experience was wonderful. Emily helped us choose a yacht and crew based on our budget and desires. She kept us informed at all times. The trip planner was very thorough and didn't skip anything. The travel guide and supplies they provide was an extra unanticipated surprise. Everything went off without a hitch. Our yacht cook had a medical issue just prior to our trip and they sent in a very qualified replacement. We could not have asked for a better experience! Thanks VI Sailing!!! Thanks Emily!!!!!!
