We had a wonderful trip to the BVI's with Capt. Rick on lion In Da Sun . I loved the ride over although we got soaked with a little bit of rough seas . His knowledge of St. John & the BVI's made the trip all the more enjoyable . We had a blast doing a shot ski & then... More

I have been to St John twice and taken a boat trip with Cap'n Rick both times. His mix of humor, knowledge, casual demeanor, and care for his passengers has made each trip a highlight of our time in the islands. Rick is very flexible and accommodating, looking to leverage his extensive knowledge of the islands to build the perfect... More

On our most recent trip to the USVI we again went out on a boat trip around the islands. Capt. Rick and his boat were a perfect choice for the day. His knowledge of the water and islands made for an enjoyable day. I would recommend him his boat if you are planing a day on the water.

Each time I've been to St. John, my friends and I have taken a boat tour. It has always been one of our best memories. This past time, we went out with Captain Rick and he was awesome! He cracked us up with his jokes and his knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. I can't recommend Lion in Da Sun... More

We are just back from 6 lovely days in St. John. Our day with Rick was definitely the highlight of our vacation. He was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us a great tour to begin the day. We had a few "must do" activities in mind for the day, but other than that we were very open to... More

This was a repeat day with Capt Rick and his great boat and it was a wonderful day. We had a group of 6, two who were new and Capt Rick is a wealth of knowledge of the history of St John and the BVI and gave us a great tour of the North Shore of the island. We then... More

After hopping off the Norwegian Gem, my family stepped aboard Lion In Da Sun for the second time in 2 years. Capt. Rick took us to amazing destinations while accommodating my 77 year old grandmother at the same time! We were able to go to all of our desired destinations and more in one day! We could not of had...

We loved the islands, the info, and all the insight Captain Rick provided. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but he did seem to have a comment or jab for everything we said (hence the average rating). It made our group a little uncomfortable, and we are very laid back. Just a forewarning for anyone that is looking... More

We went out on Lion in da Sun last week. Captain Rick was really fun and super knowledgable about the islands. His center console Scout boat is beautiful and is very roomy with a ride. We left from St. John and he took us up the North Shore stopping at all the bays. He showed us the plane wreck at... More

We had a great time with Capt Rick. He certainly knows his islands. I'm not a good judge of whether his price is competitive with others with the same service and, if returning, I would do more research. He was recommended by a friend who visits St John quite frequently. We were not disappointed - just not blown away. Perhaps... More
