St John Sail and Snorkel Adventure from Sapphire Marina

By no fault of their own, we missed the charter because we misplaced our car keys. We understand fully and didn’t expect a full refund because they couldn’t resell our tickets for that day. We asked them if they would be willing to put us on a stand by list if they had accommodations for a time later that week, as in our view, it would be a wash. So the owner reached out to us, told us they had availability for two however we were offered 25 bucks off per person to rebook for a time slot later in the week. My wife and I are airline employees and we travel very very often. I have chartered all over the world and understand the challenges in running these kinds of operations. However, asking customers to pay twice to rebook when there are unsold slots available in our view was a little insulting. We gladly would have tipped hugely, and spread the word to all our fellow co workers at our mainline airline to use this service, however I am afraid that won’t be the case in this situation.

Very professional and friendly, was very nice with a max of 6 people on the boat. The trip over to the destination was beautiful and included an explanation of what all the islands were along the way. The area they took us to had a lot of different species, including large a lobster! They gave us plenty of time to explore the reefs and take in the beauty. Would 100% book again!

Amazing! This trip totally made up for a crowded and unpleasant sunset cruise! It was so so lovely to be only in a group of 6. The crew are lovely and the gorgeous sailboat ride alone was great. I did the 3 hour tour and had to much fun with this group I really wish I’d done a longer trip. Can’t recommend enough!

Best time was sailing, and quizzing captain about his sailing experiences. Very knowledgeable and entertaining! His co-captain is also a plus!

Wonderful sailing experience! The boat was immaculate and the snorkeling was supreme! We highly recommend!

A perfect way to spend a relaxing and adventurous afternoon sailing and snorkeling. Excellent hosts. The small group nature (6 or less people) makes it a fun and more intimate experience. We would absolutely do this again.

They were awesome boat was beautiful had bad weather wasn’t able to snorkel it wasn’t safe but they made it right very impressed and a definite recommend

We loved sailing and snorkeling yesterday! Deb and Rob gave some great advice on where to look while snorkeling.

Rob and Deb were phenomenal! They were very helpful as it was our first time snorkeling! They were very knowledgeable about sailing and the area! Was definitely one of the best experiences we ever had! We will be coming back in the future!

My family and I (2 girls 14 yrs old and 1 son 16 yrs old) were on a Royal Caribbean cruise for a wedding and when I knew we were going to be in St. Thomas, I knew I wanted to take my family on a private sailing charter to snorkel for a few hours. I found Captain Rob & Deb via the Viator link and it could not have been better! Captain Rob & Deb of s/v Cosmos Mariner/Sailing the Cosmos were so kind to us. Their boat was so beautiful and as we set out for our sailing/snorkeling adventure, they offered us drinks and snacks. When we reached Christmas Cove, they had clean new snorkel gear and clear blue water. We snorkeled for about an hour then headed back to Sapphire Marina. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nice way to spend a few hours while in St. Thomas and we still had plenty of time to explore other parts of the island before heading back to the ship.
