We had a terrific experience and highly recommend this snorkel and sailing adventure. The crew was very attentive and the food was great.

Review by:   Maira C,    July 2017
To start I would say that Capt. Wes and crew members Jen and Kerry were outstanding!! The lunch served was fair yet enjoyable. They work hard to get it all ready and set out while making sure everyone has a drink in hand and also while tending the sails. Be aware that we went on a cruise day we were not on a cruise and instead of sailing until 4:00 the Captain announced that we would be returning by 3:30 to accommodate cruisers on the tour. We lost not only half an hour but also one snorkel stop. Our recommendation is that you not book when there are cruise ships in port. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Review by:   Melissa C,    May 2017
Such a wonderful experience!! The water was absolutely beautiful and the staff was very knowledgeable. It was the best part of our trip to St. Thomas

Review by:   Derek J,    April 2017
Excellent Not much else to say. If you want to see the beauty of the islands up close and personal without spending a fortune and, while at the same time, be treated as a special and appreciated guest, then this is the tour... Period, dot, end of story.

Review by:   Kelly G,    April 2017
This trip exceeded our expectations. I had never sailed before and loved the sound of the sails and the tipping of the boat dependent upon the tacking direction. Bill had sailed and was happy to be sailing again. I had also never snorkeled. I was just mildly anxious. _br/_ The instructions were pretty basic but then, so is snorkeling! From the first moment I tipped my mask into the water and saw a ray swimming underneath I was HOOKED. I felt like I had entered a magical place. I would suggest that when your guides tell you where the best snorkeling is located, head there directly. Your time in the water will end before you are ready! Lunch was fine especially those surprising beans. We stopped at two locations. Drinks were always readily available. By the end of the trip it seemed like everyone who had arrived strangers, were now interacting like friends. That was amazing to me as I can be a little self-conscious. Be sure to apply and reapply sunscreen throughout the day. My partner thought he did but still ended up sunburned and he spent the rest of our time on St. Thomas in the shade. Wes and Anna provided excellent service. They were professional, yet fun perfect for this adventure. My only suggest would be to provide detailed directions to the marina. We found it to be a little challenging. If/when we return to St. Thomas we will book this tour again!

The crew was fantastic Wes and Jen showed us a great time. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone traveling to St Thomas. We had my wife, mother in law and three kids and we all had a blast!

Our trip was all that we anticipated and more. So relaxing the sights were wonderful, the crew were exceptional and the 2 stops had lots of coral and fish. the lunch was perfect.

Review by:   Jeff,    February 2017
The crew was exceptionally friendly, informative and fun! We had a great experience, seeing rays, a turtle and lots of reef fish. We had a delicious spread for lunch and a never-ending supply of water, soda and pain-killer, an island blend of fruit and rich, dark rum.

Review by:   Kelly C,    January 2017
We had so much for on the first excursion, we booked a second! The entire crew on both boats were fantastic. The first excursion we did was the powerboat day to the BVI. The crew made it fantastic. We went sailing four days later. The sail crew and captain were younger and still learning how to engage their crowd, but were still lovely and friendly. Definitely check out this outfit. You won't be disappointed.

Review by:   Jon N,    November 2016
The snorkeling spots were maybe average. Small boat for 30 some people. The lunch and service was excellent.

Really enjoyed this trip, worth every penny. Staff was great and both friendly and professional. The meal was good and fun. And had the right amount of people on the boat.

My family of 9 found this tour amazing. Chuck the captain was great. Explained everything in a easy and in a funny way. JP was very knowledgeable about the islands told us much of the history and stories surrounding them. Joe delivered great service. we had a last and highly recommend for all ages

Review by:   uniknes,    July 2016
I had a great time with Lauren, Joe, capt. Chuck. Good mid day grub and beverages. Calmness of 2nd stop was great for socializing off boat. Nice weather blend and good wind to enjoy sail. 7/5 sail date. Please tip if you enjoy and have fun.

Review by:   Debbie S,    July 2016
Great crew. Great food and an overall enjoyable day of snorkeling. Definitely great value for the money.

Review by:   Amy B,    July 2016
We enjoyed the crew..Captain Chuck, Lauren and Joe. Food was great. The two snorkeling stops were good. We feel the trip was worth the money. Our only negative comment would be there were too many people on the trip. We did not realize a cruise ship was in port when we booked.

Review by:   Madeline K,    July 2016
Sailing with Nate the Great on the New Horizon ship was really fun. The crew was very friendly and helpful and the ship was clean. Lunch was great, too b

Great experience and Great Staff!

Review by:   Susan E,    June 2016
Wonderful crew, great food and beverages, beautiful sites visited.

Review by:   Gary H,    June 2016
This was really a great day of sailing and snorkeling. Captain Chuck, Anna and Joe were terrific. We had about 15-20 people on board. Plenty of room and never felt crowded. You will not go wanting for food nor drink on this trip. My glass was always full thanks to the crew and lunch was delicious.

Review by:   Clarice T,    June 2016
Amazing time on the water! The weather was perfect! Captain Chuck and first mate Anna were skilled and paid very close attention to every detail to make sure we all had a great time. We already plan to do this excursion next year when we return to St. Thomas.

Review by:   Jeffrey T,    June 2016
We had a wonderful day. Clearly the best part of our trip. Chuck and JP both gave us world class service...I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Review by:   patricia m,    June 2016
Captain Nate and crew were knowledgable, fun, and just awesome. Food was delicious and drinks plentiful. Snorkeling was wonderful. Package was everything advertised. Highly recommend.

Review by:   Julie C,    June 2016
The boat, the staff, the food....all fantastic. Chuck and Casey ROCKED! The actual sail took us from Sapphire Bay in St. Thomas to Honeymoon Beach at St. John, then to Christmas Cove. The water was like crystal and the beaches were some of the most unspoiled I've ever seen. Snorkeling was great. This was one of the best days of my existence...I took my 16 year old twins as well, very family friendly and age appropriate as well.

Review by:   Meaghan R,    May 2016
This tour was so much fun! The crew was amazing and we had a great time.

Review by:   Erik C,    May 2016
This is a great tour at a great price! It's approximately 6-6.5 hours and includes 2 snorkeling opportunities in crystal clear waters. They also serve a full lunch and is open bar!

Review by:   Shane R,    March 2016
We sailed on the 65 foot sail boat from St Thomas to St John. We had a great time! We stopped at Honeymoon Beach and Christmas Cove. We saw lots of fish, colorful coral and three sea turtles. The captain and his crew were very hospitable and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and in good order. Lunch was amazing. We would sail with New Horizon again. It was everything they advertised and more. Thanks!

Review by:   John P,    March 2016
Wonderful day! This is the best way to spend a day. The snorkelling was great, especially at Christmas Cove. Captain Chuck and the crew, Jordan and Anna, were very helpful, friendly and engaging. I highly recommend New Horizons.

Review by:   Mark M,    January 2016
The ship was comfortable and well-kept. The crew was very friendly and helpful. The food was varied and very tasty. The two spots at which we snorkeled were fun, but I wish I had seen a little more. I do, of course, understand that this is nature and is not predictable. My only small complaint is that the ship was quite full. The crew did handle the crowd extremely well, though. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Review by:   Brigitte L,    October 2015
This was an awesome experience! Great for the price. Crew was friendly and helpful. Would go again if we return to the island. Convenient to those staying at sapphire beach resort. Just a short stroll away!

Review by:   Gina B,    September 2015
This is our first trip utilizing the Viator website to book our excursions. When they tell you to call to reconfirm your reservations with the company, DO IT! I called a few days before we were going to be there and they didn't have us in their system, it wasn't on Viator's side, it was the company that dropped the ball but it was quickly corrected and we were on our way!

Review by:   chad S,    June 2015
Capt Nate and Kerri were amazing!! The whole trip was beautiful and a blast. This is a must for everyone visiting the island. It was by far the best day of our trip. Please go visit these guys and let them show you around!

Review by:   Carolyn B,    June 2015
Fantastic and relaxing! We never rushed, had plenty of time to snorkel in both placess, and the staff was very attentive. The snorkel gear was in good condition and they provided good instruction to everyone to ensure that first time snorkelers had a good experience. Small group, good food, good service

Review by:   Louna,    June 2015
This was an Amazing tour! Alfredo and Nate were a blast and made sure to keep us all hydrated. There are some thing you should know though:_br/_ 1. The salt water will sting really bad if you just shaved. It's like salt on an opened wound - be mindful of this because several people missed out on snorkeling because of the discomfort._br/_ 2. The water is warm and about 15ft deep. If you're worried about not being able to swim, they do provide floaters and life vests._br/_ 3. You are served food on the boat, but there's no provisions really for Vegetarians, Vegans or people who don't eat pork. Maybe send an e-mail ahead of time to let them know that. My husband could only eat some fruit and bread._br/_ 4. underwater camera's a great idea - they also offer to sell you some on the boat which is nice._br/_ 5. We never actually went to shore just in the water - i wish we could've went to St John and stayed on the beach a little bit._br/_ - Other than those need to knows the Excursion was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

Review by:   Janelle S,    March 2015
We Loved it!!! John and Nate were great and made it the best excursion I have ever been on!!!

Review by:   Jerome C,    March 2015
This was the highlight of my family's visit to St. Thomas. The tour was very organized and we didn't have to do anything but enjoy the trip. Food, snacks, drinks and snorkel equipment are all included. In fact, the snorkel equipment is quite good in quality. I would recommend highly.

Review by:   Sharee G,    February 2015
This was one of THE BEST tours I have ever done! John the captain and Nate the 1st Mate made it absolutely fantastic. The boat was great and John really took the time to explain everything and to make sure we were all comfortable and well taken care of. Nate brought around blueberry, chocolate and poppyseed bread along with fresh juice as we took off for St. John. On the way there John kept the passengers entertained with his funny sense of humor and great historical info about the surrounding areas. After getting everyone out on the first snorkel, we returned to a delicious lunch prepared by Nate. Italian meatballs, green beans with feta, fresh bread, pasta salad, a meat and cheese tray, fresh fruit and brownies with kiwi were all delicious! They made up some drinks and even went out of their way to prepare virgin versions for those of us who dont drink. There was plenty of cold soda and beer for everyone too. The snorkeling was great but it was John and Nate who really made this tour memorable! They even got us back early as we requested so we had more time to return to the cruise ship we were on. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

The yacht was gorgeous, the crew highly competent, friendly and responsive to passenger needs and the snorkeling destinations were superb. I was lucky in that there were only fifteen passengers on this trip, which is far fewer than the allowed passenger load. For a group our size it was perfect.
