Warm water sailing in the heart of the Caribbean on our high performance - island hopping - Hobie Cats

Back to the Home Page



    Sail Safaris is having a great year. We have found a perfect location right on the beach in Cruz Bay. Come down and see us: Step off the passenger ferry on St John, USVI and our boats are to your right and a short walk down the beach. If we're out sailing just call the number on the banner or grab a rack card from the dispaly rack. The best way to arrange your trip is to book in advance.

Lots of visitors have discovered the best way to explore the beaches of St John, The Virgin Islands National Park, and all the neighboring islands is by Hobie Cat. I've had many groups sign up for a half day only to sign up again for full days! That's the best compliment we could ever hope for.

We have partnered with several booking agents or just call us, we'll meet you on the beach. Everyone who has taken one of our tours has loved it! I am collecting quotes from thrilled guests. Hopefully they'll go home and spread the word so that everyone gets to experience a wild, fun ride aboard our boats.

Recent highlights include seeing massive green turtles come up for air while sailing in Hawksnest Bay. I took a couple to the north side of Congo Cay and we saw tropic birds nesting in the rocks. They circled us with their long white tail feathers flying in the wind. Last week we saw bottlenose dolphins right off the beach here in Cruz Bay! And of course our usual visits from brown pelicans and yellow footed boobys.
sailing catamarans under palm trees     The full day tours continue to be our most popular. There's something about sailing up on a perfect coral sand beach, snorkeling with parrot fish, and then having a picnic lunch under the palm trees that really wins over our guests.  More people are realizing how nice it is to lounge on our trampoline and be cooled by the splashing waves as we fly along to secret beaches where we are the only ones around.

Our sailing lessons have been popular. The catamarans are so responsive and easy to sail. They also give instant feedback. I've had several guests interested in sailing experience that they can use for their bigger sailboats back home.  I've also had many younger guests interested in learning to sail. 

Thanks to everyone who has helped Sail Safaris, especially Phil Gaines at Hi Tech Signs who made our incredible banners and signage, Rolando Garces who generously did design work for our  flyers, Pretlow at Big Planet Adventure Outfitters who gives us advertising space and bookings, Joe at Noah's Little Arks who welcomed us as a neighbor on the beach, Arthur and Beth at Arawak Expeditions for their invaluable help and friendship,  Bob and the gang at Low Key Watersports,  and most of all my wife Mo who has given so much to our little enterprise, and of course all our friends on St John who have helped spread the word that a Hobie Cat Tour is the "best thing you can do on your vacation."
