Had an absolutely great time on the Dell Rose. We sailed a full day with Captain Margie and first mate Holly. The Dell Rose was clean and beautiful. Spent the whole day snorkeling wonderful spots and running under sail. Our group had ages from 5 to a 72 year old with walking difficulties and they had everything organized to go... More

Our group of four chartered the Dell Rose sailboat for a half day sail / snorkel trip. The crew (Yanni and Margie) were right on time picking us up on the beach with the dingy. The Dell Rose was a nice ship, clean and well-stocked with beverages, (although I prefer high-end beer and all they had was domestic, I can't... More

Ok...so we've tried at least 6 different ways to get to Yost for a day on White Bay and all of them were kind of slow....took too long to get there or disorganized in the customs process, or had too many activities like snorkel stops, food stops, blah-blah-blah... This trip was awesome!...we met at the Beach bar on St. John... More

Hi KPstews, I just wanted to thank you personally for the glowing review and everyone that's taken the time to write about us on TA. This is our second year with Dell Rose and she's been a great boat for us. She sails fast and is comfortable and like you mentioned, a great way to get to Jost Van Dyke.... More

Han and Samantha were great! We saw a pod of 9-10 dolphins, crossing the front of Fly Girl and underneath us. We had a great time on Jost Van Dyke as well. We will definitely return -- Highly recommended. More

We booked this charter at the last minute, and it was fabulous! Han (captain) and Samantha (first mate) were the best. We sailed from Cruz Bay to Yost Van Dyke, and the sailing was perfect. They made us feel like old friends, and yet treated us like royalty. We even got to see whales on the trip back! We will... More

Yoni and Morgie are just outstanding - they worked very hard to make sure our sailing trip was an adventure to remember and store in our memory banks. The Dell Rose was a superb sail boat and met all of our expectations plus some. We highly recommend Sail Safaris to anyone who wants an outstanding sailing and snorkeling adventure. Michael... More

We had a fabulous sail with John aboard one of Sail Safaris 15' Hobie Cats. John told us alot about the island, the waters and took us to a fabulous snorkel spot where he pointed out tons of different sea life. This is an active, wet, 4 hr. trip worth taking. More

Reef snorkeling from shore on St. John is easy and in some spots excellent but I wanted to take a boat trip to Henley Key to see another reefs. The problem was finding a boat that was easy enough for a someone with bad knees.....those ladders hanging off the back of boats would be real knee crunchers! Finally I discovered... More

Last Thursday my husband, two friends and I had the pleasure of going out on a hobie cat with Darius. We had a wonderful day. Darius is very knowledgeable, a wonderful sailor and quite funny. It was obvious he wanted us to enjoy ourselves which we did. I highly recommend Darius and Sail Safari. More
