Our party of 8 immensely enjoyed our sail with Don and crew. In fact, on a week long Royal Caribbean cruise, this excursion was the unanimous highlight for all of us of the entire week. You can have complete confidence in this excursion and the description provided. Don and Trish put on a top shelf tour that you will not want to end.

Don,Trish and Kai are extremely friendly and welcoming. They took care of everything and made sure we were able to relax and enjoy our day. If you are looking to drink and party they are prepared, or if you want a quiet relaxed sail they will provide that too. If you are going to be in St. Kitts give them a try!

This was a great day for the 8 of us that went on this sailing adventure! Don,Trish and Kai are a great team and crew! What ever question we had about the boat, the ocean, the island, they had the answers, very knowledgable! They made us feel very welcomed and provided with a great morning at sea! The Rum Punch and cheese cake were outstanding as were the rest of the rest of the hor d'oeuvres! It's over 2,000 miles from were we live to St Kitts, so there was no way to actually verify exactly what we would be getting prior to committing to the trip, so there was a little apprehension of the unknown, but after reading the reviews and now after actually experiencing this first hand, I am extremely comfortable in highly recommending spending a half or even a full day aboard the Minerva!

Very good tour. Owners were very professional, friendly, and personable. They talked about the islands, took the group to an old sunken ship wreck to snorkel although I would not list St. Kitts as a top snorkeling location. It was all very fun. They offer top line spirits and an awesome home made rum punch, not to mention the home made cheesecake. Definitely have no issues highly recommending this team. When you book a reservation on-line in a far off destination, you always have some concern in the back of your mind. I don't think you have to worry about this one. As mentioned, they were extremely professional and they delivered on all aspects of their promotional commitments. _br/_ Great job and our group had a terrific experience.

We had a great time with Don, Trish and Kai! They were very welcoming and took great care of us. The boat was accommodating. Food was great Don treated us to his homemade cheesecake and the drinks kept flowing! Trish made her special rum punch and wouldn't budge on divulging the recipe. Kai was extremely knowledgeable and made everybody feel at ease. Highly recommend to anyone. Great for families!

Fun time, but slow sailing. I booked this for our family of 6, not realizing that the calm winds would result in a very slow sail to our destination, on the Eastern Caribbean shore of St Kitts. I found it relaxing, but our kids would've preferred a faster ride. That being said, the crew Captain Don, First Mate Kai and Wife/Hospitality CEO Trish were terrific and accommodating. Trish served a nice spread of food and drink that we all enjoyed, and the 45 minutes of snorkeling in Shitten Bay only accessible by boat was also memorable. Great outfit, very nice to deal with.

Fantastic day sailing on the Minerva with Dan, Cremy and Kai. Things could have gone horribly wrong as there was an hour discrepancy between ship time and island time, but the crew waited for us to arrive and we had an awesome day snorkeling, sailing and drinking onboard this beautiful yacht. We had four couples traveling together which made this adventure easily affordable and the highlight of our cruise!

My four children ages 18-25, and my wife and I enjoyed the excursion very much. The sail boat was nice, clean, and a blast to sail. One of the highlights of our vacation. Crew were great. We left on time, returned on time, and had a great day even with marginal weather.

Did the half day sail on Dec 24th with our family and it was incredible. We have done several other similar sails on different islands and always enjoy the excursion, but this was top notch. Don and crew were fabulous, food and drinks were top shelf and the boat is in great condition. The highlight of our trip and the one activity that I would not skip.

It was awesome!! I would highly recommend this . It is a private boat with appetizers and drinks and a spectacular cheesecake!!. They took us to a private spot to go snorkeling and provided all the gear. One of the guys from the boat also came in the water with us since we are not seasoned swimmers. He was awesome he held my hand due to me being scared in the water and he showed us two eagle rays and bunch of fish. He also took our go pro and went underwater and took some awesome pictures. We got to play our own music on the boat and just party like a rock star!!. It was an awesome birthday private sailing..

There are not enough praises to give Trish and her charming and helpful crew! Her yacht is gorgeous. Their eagerness to please is comes from the heart. The food is top quality. The atmosphere is so relaxing and of course, breathtaking. They put up the sails and off you go, though the crystal blue waters. The snorkeling is great. Our family of 6 snorkeled in waters between 20 and 2 feet deep along the beach and a sunken ship. My son brought up huge, live starfish bigger than his head and beautiful, live conch shells even larger. Then he sent them back to their place in the white sands. You will not find a better, more relaxing day. Book this tour with the utmost confidence in every respect. Trish, thank you, for such a once in a lifetime experience! I cried when I had to say good-bye after only our 6 hours on your beautiful yacht. Blessings until we visit again. I hope it's soon!! On behalf of Art, Max, Justin, Anna, Sara and myself, take care and breath in the sweet air of St. Kitts for us! XOX

Hi we highly recommend renting the boat for a day. Everyone was so nice. It was one of the best days ever! What a fantastic team!
Review by: Connie H, January 2016
I would highly recommend this excursion. They were gracious to change our time to fit our cruise ship schedule. We were welcomed on board with a glass of champagne. We were a family of 8 with our parents of 72 and 73. The captain entertained dad as he chose to stay under in shelter. They pampered mom and helped her to enjoy the ride out on top. We set sail and enjoyed the ride. Snorkeling was not the best to see but still enjoyed just being out in the water. Food was amazing and definitely not lacking on Rum Punch, beer or drink of choice. The owners are very conscious to offer a Very clean boat. Not like some we have been on in the past. We were on an 8 night cruise and this was definitely the highlight of the trip by all family members. We got off ship, took a short taxi ride to beach area, enjoyed a drink at the local bar/restaurant while we waited for our excursion time. The taxi ride was 3 pp.
