catamaran sailing st john usvi

Words cannot describe how special our week long charter was. Dulcey and Romany went above and beyond to provide such a special week for our wedding. Every morning we woke up to hot coffee and a delicious breakfast. Followed by sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. The accommodations were so comfortable. The food that they prepared was absolutely amazing. We did not even pick up a book the whole week because of how breathtaking the sights were and all of the fun we had in the water. I can’t wait to book this again. My very first term charter. No sea sickness even though I used to get sea sick on fishing expeditions.

She brought us to some of the most beautiful places I’ve not been. I have been traveling to the island almost annually since 2007. You must do this. Most magical and amazing trip. The trip of a lifetime!

– Sarah Louise

Dulce is an experienced captain who knows her way around the islands. She provides the safest of environments while giving her guests a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend this charter for a carefree island getaway. The food is amazing, the scenery is second to none, the crew is family.

catamaran sailing st john usvi

We spent 10 days sailing with Dulcey in 2019 – not a day goes by were we don‘t think about all of our adventures, the wonderful food and drink, and the love and laughter which we shared. Dulcey is a fantastic captain with competence based on her life experiences both on and off the water. Her dedication to running her charters safely and with respect for lives both in and on the water makes her guests feel that they are truly in good hands. Looking forward to our next booking with Dulce Vita Sails soon! 🐠🧜🏾‍♀️🌈☀️♥️

Top Rated Virgin Island Boat Charters & Tours on TripAdvisor and Google!

My wife and I have been in St. Thomas on our honeymoon and were recommended Stormy Pirates charters for a fun day on the water. We ended up taking the 7 hour sea turtle snorkel and sunset sail tour with Brandon and Amanda and had a freaking blast! The boat was beautiful, the trip was better than described and the crew showed us a fantastic time. 10/10 would recommend and we will absolutely be coming back! Thanks guys!

My husband and I had the best time on this excursion. This was by far the highlight of our trip!! We got to see different islands and learn so much history about St John and St Thomas. The crew also had snorkel gear so we could snorkel each island we stopped at, we saw a sunken ship, sea turtles, stingrays. The crew was OUTSTANDING, Kenny and Susanna went above and beyond and made the best cocktails. This was such a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend stormy pirates. (I even changed my pick up from st Thomas to St. John and they were so accommodating)

What a way to spend a day. Met the crew at the dock, jumped on the boat, and had the time of our lives for the day. A couple of snorkel stops, a little sightseeing of the beautiful island of St. John, and then lunch at Lime Out Taco Bar. Lime Out was an excellent experience floating in the clear water surrounded by a beautiful area and eating some great tacos. This was my second trip with Stormy Pirates, and I brought the entire family as my first trip with them was great. Thanks to the crew for making this a day to remember.

We had an amazing time on their Sale Pending 2 boat. Captain Rich was funny and a really good Captain, we knew we were in good hands and safe. Tara, the crew member was so authentically attentive and caring. We had drinks all day long, sodas, water, punch, cocktails. They had fruit and muffins waiting, a scheduled pizza delivery on the boat, snorkeling equipment and the knowledge the guests needed to find sea creatures. So many small detailed extras to make the day superb!

We are repeat customers of Rob/Ryan. Both boats are clean and comfortable, and both captain Rob and Ryan make for an enjoyable, relaxing day on the water. Highly recommend Sunshine Daydream.

We had an amazing morning on Sunshine Daydream with Lee as our captain! We enjoyed a day of cruising, snorkeling, swimming and sightseeing. Lee was not only a great captain, but storyteller as well. He is very informative about the islands and made us feel very welcome. I HIGHLY recommend and we will make sure to ride with Lee again.

We had an absolute blast. We’d been on the island for over a week, but the captain found great snorkel spots we had not hit by land. The boat was beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed, and the stops were just what we were looking for. It was the highlight of our trip!

Rob took us out just before New Years on his beautiful brand new boat. Rob brought us to wonderful peaceful bays to snorkel away from the rain, wind and currents. We appreciated his fantastic suggestions and really enjoyed the day.

No grumpy captains here! After using another popular company in Cruz Bay that kept us on a time table where we could not do half of what was promised, we switched to this awesome crew for our next charter. They were super chill, stuck to the game plan and if we decided to change our plan to spend more time in White Bay there was no issue and no attitude.

We had a great boating excursion with Captain Lee at Sunshine Daydream Charters! He tailored the excursion to what we wanted, and went to locations that were conducive to our snorkeling needs. Highly recommended!

Missing Virginia couple's yacht found ransacked in the Caribbean

The family of a northern Virginia couple is holding out hope after the two went missing while sailing in the Caribbean.

Authorities in Grenada believe the couple were killed by escaped prisoners who stole their yacht.

Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel have been known to take trips to go cruising around Grenada. Their family told FOX 5 this is something they always do – live on their boat during the winter months. It's an escape from their home in Falls Church, Virginia.

But as of Friday, the two of them are missing.

According to reports from investigators in the Caribbean, their boat was found abandoned in Saint Vincent.

The reports claim it was "ransacked" and it was apparent that a violent act took place.

There are three men in custody in connection to the Virginia couple's disappearance. Detectives in Grenada say the men are prisoners who were already facing robbery and rape charges.

The men escaped their holding cell on Sunday, Feb. 18. Sometime in between then and Wednesday, investigators believe they made contact with Ralph and Kathy on their boat.

In a press release, the Royal Grenada Police Force says they are "working on leads that suggest that the two occupants of the yacht may have been killed in the process. It is believed that the occupants of the yacht were American citizens."

Ralph Hendry’s sister, Suellen Desmarais, is still trying to figure out what happened, but told FOX 5, she’s keeping faith alive.

"On Sunday, they went into the town around 3 o’clock because another boater saw them go into town. And then the other boater, when he went to bed, he noticed that they were there cause you always look to see who is around you and in the morning, when the boater woke up they were gone," Desmarais said. "Why would I presume anyone is dead with no body and DNA? I want to remain positive. I want to believe that they are alive."

Ralph and Kathy were part of a sailing association called the Salty Dog .

The president of the group, Rob Osborn — who also lives on the sea — received a message from a good Samaritan who saw the abandoned yacht. He called local authorities before informing the couple's family.

"This is a tragedy that has shaken our community," Osborn said. "There are literally 100s of people who do what I do in the winter. I just want everyone to know that this is very rare."

"When people ask us if we worry about pirates, the answer is ‘no.’ These are friendly islands," he continued. "Whether you are in NYC, Chicago or here, sometimes bad things happen. And this is heinous."

FOX 5 has learned that Kathy and Ralph's children are in the Caribbean at the moment working with local authorities on this investigation.

We have reached out to the Coast Guard and the State Department about this case, and are waiting to hear back.
