Saw some previous reviews and took chances booking online, from the 1st E-mail contact to the day of the sail everything was easy and ended up with a beautiful sail. Julie and her staff are great. We came in with friends off a cruise ship and it was the perfect exursion on our own. No need to book the cruise ship trip, less expensive, less crowds. Thank you Julie.

Judy and company.

A group of 8 people from my family had the opportunity to go on a day sail while we were staying in Cane Garden Bay. It rained all morning and by the time we got to Road Town in our open-air Safari taxi, (driven by the wonderful Capt. Friendly,) it was pouring! We were the first group to board the schooner that morning.
Capt. Chris had been looking at the radar and decided that instead of the Baths, we would go to Norman Island and the Indians and avoid the bad weather. He was 100% right - as we sailed away it got lighter and lighter and soon it was sunny and beautiful.
Capt. Chris, Pierce, and Kate were awesome - they know all about the area and made sure we were comfortable and well hydrated! The lunch was superb!
We loved snorkeling! Since we had such a large number and because my daughter was scared to death, we missed going out with Kate, but we explored on our own and saw lots of beautiful fish! The second stop to snorkel was rather rough water with a current, at the Indians, but I surprised myself by making it all the way out there and back. Luckily I missed seeing the barracuda my son saw. Yikes!
We also enjoyed the stop at Pirate's Bight. The drinks there were delicious! My daughter, who was too scared to even look through her mask into the water, showed some kids on a school trip how to use the mask and snorkel.
It was a wonderful day in Paradise!

Surrounded by sailboats on the beautiful island of Tortola, I knew I had to get on the water and experience the famous surrounding islands nearby.
The 80 foot schooner "White Squall" was docked in the Marina of our hotel. Everyone said it is the best experience on the island.
So, I signed up to depart the next AM.
Greeted by able Captain Chris, I was helped aboard this massive vessel and met the other guests while being offered a rum punch. Why not? I am on vacation!
The day was gorgeous, and the view from the boat was like a fairytale. We went to two islands and snorkled under the guidance of the friendly crew, Debs and Piers.
Lunch was served around noon on the deck and was delicious and served with a delicious wine. Who wanted to go home? I hope to return and experience this perfect day again in the near future.

I've been out on the Whitesquall II for day sails twice now, once this year and once last year. Both times it was the best part of my trip to the BVI. The Whitesquall II is a beautiful historic schooner, with room for everyone to be comfortable either in the sun or under an awning in the shade. Cold drinks and fabulous rum punch are provided, as well as a very delicious grilled lunch with salads - it really hits the spot after snorkeling! The trips vary, but always include great snorkeling spots, they provide all of the equipment you need for snorkeling and make sure it fits well, and they will teach you if you don't know how. Even though I'm a great swimmer, I had never snorkeled before and was a little nervous my first trip, but they made me feel completely at ease. In addition, you have the option of snorkeling with a partner or following one of the crew members on snorkeling excursions, which is great because they dive down and show you things, explain what you're seeing, and make sure you're doing okay. The crew is very friendly and genuine and professional, and they work hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. On my first trip there was a baby on board, and they were really good about making sure the parents had lots of help and a comfortable spot for the baby. This is an amazing group of people who will make everyone feel at home. The Whitesquall II is the real deal for a day sail experience in the BVI - especially compared to those motorized "party yachts." Tip - if you have Captain Chris, sit near the speakers, he has fantastic taste in music and it will really add to your experience.
