Outstanding Sail and Snorkel trip by Captain Mike and Crew, Nikki

Had a fantastic day for sailing on board the sailboat the Fury with Captain Mike and his crew, Nikki. Great sail out to Buck Island to snorkel. Saw green sea turtles, rays, and bountiful fish around the reefs. Great trip back. I highly recommend this trip!!!
The sail itself was...

perfect sailing afternoon

A quintessential sail to see dolphins and sea turtles while enjoying our picturesque sailing experience around beautiful St Thomas. Our hosts were very informative and made us feel comfortable from start to stop. Even though our cruise ship arrived later than we expected, they made sure we were still able to make the trip. A wonderful afternoon.
Rude captain

Boat ride out and back- one stop and two turtles. We were fed pretzels and granola bars on the way back, washed down with pink water (the lady Niki working the boat was awesome and apologized for the lack of rum in the rum punch) but whatever, we weren’t going to complain- our group of 5 friends made the best of it. The captain (I think his name was Mike) said look for the tip jar on the way out. I left shortly behind my friends, with only a $50, and there was no tip jar to be seen as we walked down the pier towards the supposed jar. None of us saw it, nor had small bills. We also felt that after the overpriced tour ($120 each) it wasn’t necessary. We were inside a local shop when the captain came in- saying we needed to tip. Having just purchased something I handed a $10 my other girlfriend had only $2. He took the $12, scoffed at it, and told us we were “tight”. He proceeded to walk up to a nice man that had been part of our excursion and talk badly about us, and how stingy we were. We were embarrassed, humiliated, and it was extremely unprofessional. A total damper on our entire vacation. A couple of my friends are single moms and it was horrible how it made them feel.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Let’s start by saying that we take all reviews seriously.
That being said, there are a few inconsistencies in this review.
It is true, We do sail out and back to Buck Island.
We do serve complementary snacks. Fact.
Where we have the issue is the Rum Punch story. We’ve been serving the same Rum Punch for 16 years and have never been accused of watering this drink down. (Pink Water)
Nikki Didn’t apologize for the weak punch cause it never happened.
In fact if a guest wants a floater of rum on top of their punch, Nikki is the first to top that drink off!! Lol!
For those of you that have been to the Virgin Islands sailing with Fury, know that Rum is cheaper than the punch!!!
Most of our 900 reviews mention how good the Rum Punch is.
These 5 women drank quite a bit of it in fact and were having a great time!
Upon departing the vessel it was all hugs and kisses from these ladies but notice there was no tip for Nikki, our stellar first mate.
This is how she makes her living. The other 15 guests tipped out very generously, so we know we did a great job.
So yes. I approached these women and asked them if there was something wrong with the trip or if they just forgot to tip the crew. They said they didn’t see a tip jar. Just Nikki collecting tips with her hands.
They then came up with $12. (1%%) They said that’s all they had in small bills. The rest were large bills.
To all of you in the service industry, that is what we call “a slap in the face”.
We usually autograt parties of 5 or more for this reason. But we didn’t that day for some reason.
A standard 15%-20% gratuity for this group should have been $90-$120. Nikki got $12.
To make matters worse,
These guests told stories on the boat about how they get together every year for a girls trip flying First Class, renting nice Villas and eating at great restaurants. Last year it was Greece, this year was the Virgin Islands. Next year…who knows.
I then tried to give the $12 back and they got upset, saying there were struggling single mothers.
I had to laugh and just walked away.
Nikki is an actual single mom and she makes her living in the tourist/service industry which, as you all know, has been a tough go since the hurricanes and Covid. She doesn’t take exotic vacations every year with her friends.
I’m sorry if they felt embarrassed and I put a “damper” on there entire vacation but if they really look at what happened that day, after sobering up, they would have written a different review.
Thank you for taking the time to read the response and wish you all safe travels!!

It was a beautiful ride on the sailboat. It was a real treat to hang our feet over the boat being splashed with the caribbean sea water. Captain Mike and 1st Mate Nicki were very attentive to the passengers, and it was nice to have the snorkeling instructions and the snorkeling was good. We only saw two turtles, but who cares, it was a wonderful adventure that I highly recommend.
Amazing time !!

We had a great time on our half day sail and snorkel! We saw three sea turtles and loved exploring the reef! Mike and Nicky were great and had us laughing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great way to set sail from the island and see some sea turtles!
