I had an amazing sailing experience with Mike and his first mate :) Absolutely beautiful boat, very relaxing and beyond enjoyable. The boat had everything you would need for a fun-filled day of activities: snorkle gear, noodles, floatation devices, a STOCKED bar, amazing drinks, snacks, and a delicious meal. I can't say enough good things about Mike and his crew.... More

Excellent sailing trip on the Winifred. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and also great chefs! The snorkeling at our destination on St. John was wonderful and the beach was perfect. Lunch was served on china and was fresh and delicious. The drinks were tasty too. Great day with a small group (6) which we preferred over trips we... More

Time of our life! If you are on a cruise ship and you are only doing one thing in St. Thomas, you better go sailing with Capt. Mike! He is not only a great CAPT. he is also a great Chef and Bartender! If you think they pamper you in the cruise ship, you haven't gone sailing with Capt. Mike!... More

Only thing better than a day of sailing on the Winifred with Captain Mike would be 2 days of sailing!! Beautiful day with lots of wind for some aggressive sailing! What fun!!! Food and drinks were awesome and the snorkeling was some of the best! Don't miss this trip!!! More

Aggressive sailing at it's best as it was really windy!!! Capt Mike made it seem easy and even let one of the men handle the tiller!!! Lunch was just great and the whole excursion is a must for anyone in St. Thomas. Would do it again in a heart beat. Thanks Mike for the action pics as well!!! More

We sailed to fantastic snorkeling sites around St. Johns where we saw much sea life including turtles, sharks, eels, starfish, and much more. Capt. Mike entertained us with sailing and island lore as well as proper sailing technique and terminology. He even let us take a turn at the tiller. Captain Mike is a great cook, bartender, and host as...

We sailed with Capt. Mike to St. John and could not have had a better time! The sailing experience was new to us both, but it was more fun and enjoyable that I anticipated. The drinks and lunch were tasty and free flowing. Def worth the money....so we did a second day on the other boat as well! More

We highly recommend this excursion to anyone that enjoys snorkeling. The company (SailWinifred.com) isn’t affiliated with any of the cruise lines (cruise lines get half the money for excursions booked through them), but they are ten times better than any excursion you will book through the cruise ship. They have two boats that we know of (Winifred and Morningstar), and... More
