I had the pleasure of bunking on the Ragamuffin for 4 days of fun in January 2012. Loren and Jo created a cozy, comfortable and inviting experience for me and my 4 girlfriends. Sailing around Culebra and mooring at spectacular spots each night made for an experience I will never forget. The highlights for me included Jo's fantastic cooking, snorkelling... More

After reading over all of the reviews thus far, I see that you either love the experience of sailing on the Ragamuffin . . .or you don't. From what I could tell, the majority of the 'complaints' were about Loren's ah er . . personality. Loren does come across as gruff and perhaps a wee bit impatient. But when mechanical... More

On December 30th I set sail (7 days) with friends on Sailboat Ragamuffin out of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. We toured the Islands of Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Marina Cay, Norman Island, and St. John. I arrived a day early due to scheduling and was accommodated overnight, free of charge (with meals) by the owners of Ragamuffin.... More

Looking at the reviews, there's no inbetween! My wife and I are of the latter...especially 'the captain'. Wow, never thought someone could treat us the way he did when he's in the 'hospitality' business. The places we visited in the BVI were great, but it's the traveling to and fro that was the problem; we were not worthy sailors and... More

Jo and Loren are fabulous "to come home" to. I've been on several charters with them. I've sailed with them in fair and foul weather and always felt safe and sound. I love going to all their tried and true sailing spots, visiting the locals, some celebrities, some friends and some characters. A great time is had by all. Ragamuffin... More

I was browsing through Trip Advisor and found reviews for the Ragamuffin. The negative ones astounded me so much I felt compelled to write one about our sailing adventure with Jo & Loren. Short version: we had the time of our life. I booked the week on the Ragamuffin and surprised my husband with it for his 50th birthday. We... More

Sailing on the Ragamuffin with Joe, Loren and Squeak is one of my favorite parts about going to the island!! It was a blast! from the time we woke and got on the boat it seemed like a dream! Sitting in the middle of the ocean and having so much fun, I forgot i was on a boat!! The experience... More

Six of us spent a week with Jo, Loren, and Capt. Squeak (the cat) on board the Ragamuffin. Just in case you don't feel like reading a rather long review, we want you to know that we DO NOT recommend sailing on the Ragamuffin. Please read on if you are interested in the details. The good: Jo is a sweet,... More

"Hey Lo, you guys have guests this week?" " Well no "he answered. "Tell Jo I will be on the next flight in tonite." " Wow" You see I called them in the AM and flew in with my partner Ted by that evening. We were unannounced and we were joined by another unannounced friend of thiers. This was their... More
