My wife, daughter and I went sailing with Capt Mike mid-March this year. The booking process was easy and Mike was more than willing to answer all of our questions prior to our trip. The day that we went, the seas were a little rough and it rained on our trip out to Buck Island. Mike provided us with rain... More

The sailboat was a bit old and outdated, but everything worked and went well. The ride to Buck Island was really rough, the swells were huge and the sailboat was leaning heavily to one side. The Capt. said this was "average", meaning sometimes it's calmer and sometimes it's rougher. I have a bad back so this was tough for me,... More

I did this trip in a group of 6 total. It was a nice intimate group of friendly folks and we all got along. Mike picked us up RIGHT on time from the dock with his zodiac and off we went on a scenic little zippy trip to the Island Girl. The ship boat isn't a fancy shmancy huge, crazy... More

We had a great trip with Mike. The weather was not perfect but the ride was smooth the Island Girl is the perfect size for smooth ride and a private trip. Mike took us to Turtle Cove on Buck Island and provides great Reef information and fish identification tips. We spent a good hour and a half in the water... More

What a great trip we had with Capt Mike on the Island Girl! It was a beautiful day and it was windy, but it made for a fun ride to Buck Island and Turtle Cove. There were only 4 of us on the sailboat, which really makes it much more enjoyable. We saw sea turtles and lots of fish and... More

Island Girl did not meet our expectations. We read reviews on here and elsewhere and read their website carefully before booking. Booking was fairly easy, and the e-mails were friendly enough. But the follow-through wasn't there. First, the boat is looking awfully run-down and not well kept, with things tossed around in the cabin area. It wasn't inviting or encouraging.... More

First let me say that I am the Owner/Captain of Island Girl and I enjoy doing the sailing/snorkeling tours and this is why I continue to do so. I am responding to the unfavorable review dated February 7, 2012 by Dominic D. He states the boat is run down; Island Girl was fully repainted within the past year. He states... More

We sailed on the Island Girl in December 2011 while on our Caribbean Cruise. We had a great time with Captain Mike and greatly enjoyed the limited guests (3 of us + 2 hotel guests). It was a wonderful relaxing sail, and we enjoyed the snorkeling. The water was a tad murky, but we had plenty of room to stay... More

We were originally booked on a private excursion with another company that emailed me at the port prior to St. Thomas to say tough luck their ship had been sold and they'd send me my $150 back. After much pressuring because I could not get a wifi signal I insisted they call another charter. Later in the evening I got... More

My boyfriend and I visited St. Thomas on a cruise. When we arrived, we found out that the sailboat we booked was sold and our sail was cancelled. (You can read my review on Jolly Mon.) We were lucky that Captain Mike had room for us that morning and he took us out. We had a nice time, but sailing... More

My sister and I booked a sail with Capt. Mike and were VERY pleased with our experience. We were picked up at the pier promptly and had a wonderful day swimming with the turtles. Island Girl offers a great snorkel experience and is truly a first class operation!!! More
