QUOTES FROM OUR GUESTS

"Loved Sail Safaris...

My husband and I had the wonderful pleasure of Sailing with Sail Safaris on November 14th. We had an absolute blast with Will as our captain.

This is the absolutely best way to see the beautiful reefs of St John. We had a full day sail to three secluded beaches. There was nobody but us snorkeling. This beat other snorkeling tours hands down, with nobody kicking in your face. We got to see tons of fish, and two turtles.

This is the best tour that we have ever been on in the five years that we have been traveling the Caribbean. Being on the open ocean with only the sound of waves and wind, is a delight, with no engine noise or rap music ruining it like other tours.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e mail me."

"A Fantastic Afternoon...

My wife and I were in St. John for a wedding and booked an afternoon sail / snorkel trip with Sail Safaris with another couple. Captain Han was terrific, and his sailboat was a great way to explore the beaches and snorkeling sites around St. John. Han knew a lot about the islands and could answer all of our questions about the area. As a snorkeling guide, Han combined a wealth of knowledge about coral and fish with concern for our safety. When currents became too strong in one direction, we moved in another, making for a relaxed afternoon of snorkeling. Han was also very professional. When I (like a knucklehead) left a pair of nice sunglasses on his boat, he took my cell call and arranged to have them left at a local SCUBA shop for me to pick up. I recommend Sail Safaris very highly and would definitely book with them again. "

"Best Shore Excursion...

we organized this excursion ourselves from an advert on the internet. We wanted the fun of sailing ourselves in the Caribbean - not floating around with other people on a big boring catamaran - and this outing with Captain Han was fabulous. He supplied waterproof bags for our gear, because, yes, we did go fast and we did get splashed! There were only 2 of us (he can take up to 4 per boat and could accommodate larger parties by taking out more Cats)and we took turns sailing the Hobie Cat individually to several beautiful uninhabited islands where we landed to go snorkelling or have lunch that he supplied. Han was a knowledgeable and interesting guide and I highly recommend his sail safari. Our cruise ship docked at St. Thomas, USVI so you have to take a taxi to the Red Hoek ferry, and then the ferry $3 which takes about 15minutes to St. John's. You walk off the ferry onto the beach where he is waiting with the Hobie cat. Here are the contact details - have fun! we did!

Thanks for the great time touring and snorkeling!  Laurie and I had a blast; I think the day on St. John was the highlight of our Caribbean vacation! 
 
Regards,
Scott & Laurie

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for being there with the Hobies. It really was a high point of our trip, and a bit of a dream come true for this one-time sailor. Bettina and Sydney both enjoyed it and are petitioning me to get a smaller, high performance boat. Hmm, opportunity knocks….

"By far the best part of the trip was our day sail/snorkelling trip with Sail Safaris. We booked it from the shack in Cruz Bay.

The trip takes place on a small catamaran with a max of 5 people so it is a really amazing way to spend the day. We zipped around to small, uninhabited islands and reefs for snorkelling and helped sail the boat. We had a picnic lunch on a secluded island. It was really one of the most memorable trips I've ever done. Great snorkelling, great sailing. Amazing. Bring sunscreen and a disposable camera and that's it. You will be soaked by the end! "

"What an unexpected pleasure!  We had such fun, that we came back the next day for more adventures with Han.  His winning combination of sailing skills, knowledge of the area, and great personality made for a fantastic experience.  I would highly recommend that anyone visiting St. John take advantage of this unique opportunity.  I know that when we return, we certainly will!" - Faith and Bob, MN

"Well, it has been a week and a half since our AWESOME (word used correctly!) day with you on the Hobie Cat. Now that we are home in Salt Lake City and the vacation in St. John is over, I can honestly say that day with you was the BEST day of our whole trip (and there wasn't anything but a perfect day the whole week, so that is really saying something.) Not only was the experience itself incredible, but we learned so much about the island and its flora and fauna that we felt very prepared and informed as we went about our other activities. (for example, how would we have known to look up and see the bats?!) Happy Sailing!"
Fondly,
Sharon & Harvey

Here we are back on the mainland with cell phones and traffic!  I can still picture the beauty and peacefulness out on the Hobie!  Wish we were there!
 Just wanted to quickly tell you thanks again for such a great trip.   It was the most enjoyable experience for my family as well as my friends.  We feel fortunate to have been able to visit/snorkle remote cays that are uninhabited, and learn about the surrounding islands, and wildlife.
 
Truly the best "Ride of our Lives".

Debbie Felts

"The sailing expedition with you over the two days was the highlight of our honeymoon. Thanks for taking great care of us.
Cheers,"

"Great!  Thanks so much, it is definitely one of my favorite shore
excursions."

"If you're looking to share an impersonal 2-3 hour "snorkel trip" with 20-30 other passengers (where the highlight of the trip is the Rum Punch and some reggae music) or a sunset cruise, then Sail Safaris is definitely not for you.
     But, if you enjoy something quite unique, then check out Sail Safaris Hobie Cats. They provide a 16 ft. Hobie Cat with a captain and an excursion tailored to your interests. The Hobie provides the ability to explore various islands and the ability to land directly on beautiful secluded beaches allows its participants to also partake of some wonderful snorkeling. In addition, taking the helm (supervised for us sailing novices) is a great way to gain sailing experience; Hobie Cats provide a real sense of oneness with the water and St. John's ever present prevailing winds provide plenty of wonderful sailing. Initially, we were a bit apprehensive about such a small vessel out in the ocean (actually in various bays) but the captain insures that no risk is incurred. We so enjoyed our first day trip that my wife and I went for an additional day trip later during our stay."

"We had such a blast!  Thanks so much for helping me show Jim how great sailing is- he loved it!  I want to sign up again for our next trip.  How does Tuesday, August 7th sound?  This time it will be me (of course), Kathryn (my daughter) and my Mom.  She is so excited to go". - Laura

"It seems like sooo long since we were at St. John, though it’s less than a week that we’ve been home.  Thank you for the pictures and exciting time sailing.  Happy sails, and thanks for the day."
Amy

Thanks for a super addition to our vacation! Will definitely look you up and plan something next year! Appreciatively - Rev. Bill

"Han,
Thanks again for a great time and I look forward to seeing you next year."
 Best Regards from Lou & Debra

"Thanks for a wonderful trip.  Next time we are on the island, we will do a full day trip.
Regards, Dimitri"

"Thanks again for such a memorable day on St. John. I'm so glad to know it's still possible to have someone show you some beautiful things in this world in a relaxed and honest way.
All the best,
Juliette"

Han,
How you doing, woke up to snow on the ground again today, we really need to be down there. Hope everything is good with you, Lisa and I had a great time sailing, best part of the trip. Thanks again. Well, here's some pictures of the Hobie on Sandy Spit, turned out pretty good, man we miss it down there! Take it easy and keep having fun with what your doing, you and your wife are lucky people.

Han - thanks again for the fantastic sailing and snorkeling last Thursday - Cathy and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!  - Josh, San Francisco

Hi Han - We had a great time sailing with you while we were in St. John. The boys have lots of good memories from the trip. We hope to be able to bring them back again in the next couple of years. We will definitely keep you in mind when we return with them, or with friends. Take care, and I wish you good luck with your sailing company and family! - Scott

Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much fun we had the day you took us sailing. It was a great choice on Missy's part. We took some great pic's and have some great memories to go along with them. I can't wait to go again!  Hopefully next year.  Once again we had a GREAT TIME and look forward to doing it again in the future.  Stay safe and God Bless! Thanks - Quami and Missy
