My husband and I had sailed around the islands about 28 years ago with 2 other couples and were excited about coming back with our children. We spent a day with Captain Han and Lauren for a wonderful day sail, snorkeling and lunch at the Soggy Dollar. It is really something everyone should do when on St John. To take... More

They taught my husband how to steer the sailboat and work the sails. We had a choice of going snorkeling or continue sailing....we sailed and sailed! It... More

We had an amazing sunset sail on the Dell Rose. Captain Ben was wonderful and his First Mate was fabulous. The vessel was beautiful and the weather/wind were perfect for sailing. They provided delicious appetizers and expertly prepared cocktails. Sail Safaris is GREAT! Kate Chicago

We rented a small catamaran with a captain to explore the beaches of St. John. The boat could pull right up on shore which made it nice and easy. Captain Troy was amazing. Felt a little badly at how hard he worked while we sat back and enjoyed the view!

Yesterday, we took a sail with Sail Safaris on the Dell Rose. We departed from Cruz Bay and went out to several islands for snorkeling and sightseeing. For the return trip, we put up the sails and sailed back to Cruz Bay. Ben captained the boat and Lauren took care of everything else. It was an awesome 3-hour experience. Ben... More

We decided to try a sunset cruise and picked the Del Rose because we wanted a private sail. It was great. Captain Ben and Lauren made our experience wonderful. They treated us like we were the only charter they had in weeks! Lauren made us the best drinks and snacks while Ben was our tour guide. We would definitely go... More

This was our 2nd full day charter with wonderful folks at Sail Safari, on the Dell Rose. Our latest trip,we primarily wanted to sail / sightsee around St John, rather than make several snorkel stops along the north shoreline as we did the 1st time. We had a beautiful, windy day with full sails as we headed south, along the... More

We found Sail Safari via the Internet and couldn't be happier. My wife and I had the Dell Rose to ourselves and were really well looked after by Ben and Lauren. They were professional confident and looked after our every need. After stopping for a snorkel stop we sailed over to Jost van Dyke. We had a quick beer at... More

We chartered the Dell Rose while vacationing in St. John. The whole experience was nothing short of wonderful! Ben and Devon are highly skilled professionals and made us feel very safe and comfortable. Sailing with these two was really great. They took us to some great spots for snorkeling, where they showed us a lot of different fish and beautiful... More

To think we almost didn't do this sail, crazy! Samantha called us the day before we were scheduled to sail on the Del Rosa, saying there was a problem with the engine and if we wanted to go on a different boat or a different day they would make it work.We talked as a family, deciding if we were just...
