GBIsland R&R, a fantastic week! Thank you Matt and Casey! As first time catamaran vacationers our expectations were high for a week sailing around the BVI...our seven days were everything we had hoped for and dreamed about! Matt took us to quiet bays for snorkeling, swimming and paddle boarding, which suited us perfectly. We enjoyed hearing a little bit about each island we passed, about the huge sail boats racing close to us and recommendations of which bars or restaurants were worth a visit:). The experience of actually sailing was wonderful! Casey was an absolute marvel in the galley, calmly and happily producing beautifully plated delicious meals and drinks:)! Thank you for a wonderful week Matt and Casey!

GBSailing on Sea Witch is family, fabulous fun! Our two teenagers learned so much from Captain John's informative, yet laid back passion to sail safely. Susan provided delicious meals and taught new games, always with smiles and laughter. Together they took us snorkeling where we saw colorful fish, turtles and coral. Hiked, kayaked, and relaxed on a variety of islands. Fished along the way and kids learned to fillet the fish that Susan cooked for lunch. Each day was spent on a beautiful island taking in the sights, eating local food either on the boat or shore and enjoying beverages of choice. Capt. John and Susan were easy to be with the entire week, always providing our family of four a spectacularly relaxed vacation. Boat was very comfortable for all of us and spacious. They know the islands well and while hearing what we wanted to do, with review of weather conditions, planned a sailing itinerary that was exciting.

GBAmazing Vacation! We chartered catamaran, Alive! for 7 nights in mid January. Booking with Ellen at VI Sailing was a breeze. She is extremely friendly and helpful. Kristina was also wonderful and assisted with planning our trip. While aboard Alive, Captain Noam and Chef Dalit were incredible! Noam is a great captain, he knows all the best islands and activities. Dalit is an incredible chef, we loved every meal! They are truly an awesome crew!! We had a total of 8 guests on the boat, it was plenty spacious and the accommodations were great. We had a wonderful trip and highly recommend this vacation!!

GBBest vacation ever! We had the best vacation ever. Matt and Casey were great and very fun. The food they prepared for us exceeded our expectations. Each day they had various itineraries for us to choose from so very laid back. Highly recommend sailing the Island R&R.

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.
