Aristocat day sails with Maddie and Francesco - We sailed with Maddie and Francesco today to Jost Van Dyke on a sailing catamaran trip via Aristocat. Super personable people.! They were in sinc with each other and the passengers! Showing and telling us how sailing is done, wind directions, the sails and how they worked. If you wanted, you could help joist a jib! They rotated around the boat striking up conversation and made it so enjoyable! Would sail with them again and again!

Great day sail in Tortola - Eight of us with kids and the crew was fantastic. Francesco and Maddie (sp?) treated us to an amazing day and took great care of all our needs. Food, drinks, hospitality, what a great day sail!

Francesco and Madi are the BEST!! - This was a WONDERFUL trip! Francesco and Madi were genuinely friendly, fun, informative and provided a terrific time. Lunch was delish, drinks were great. It was unfortunate we had to swim to shore at Jost VanDyke (strong winds and crowded anchor space) but we did it. The waves and wind made it quite the challenge to get back to the catamaran but we figured it out. This excursion is best for adults. Our time at each place was plenty. Kudos to this crew - we loved it!!

Greatest Cole Slaw - Although windy weather kept us from JVD, we went to Norman Island and points in between. Francesco and Maddie were awesome guides, extremely personable, engaging and fun to be with. Maddie made lunch for us…her potato salad and Cole Slaw were to die for. Recommend daycruise company to all. Great job and we had a great day. Thanks

Jost Van Dyke Daysail - My wife and I took this daysail trip as part of our 8 day visit to Tortola. It was a nice day of sailing with some fun stops. The crew was great and we had a good group of people on this trip. The drinks were very good and the lunch I would rate as just average. We've done other daysails where the lunch spread was more extensive, for example BBQ hamburgers and chicken for sandwiches. Besides that, we had a fun day on the water and would use this company again the next time we are in the BVI.

Magical BVI 🇻🇬 - Amazing, book it! Food was great. Safety was discussed first thing which is the most important. Captain and 1st Mate made everything very clear. We had so much fun and I loved every minute of it. Sandy Cay and JVD were wonderful. Catamaran was smooth sailing and time was well organized and very clearly explained our plans for the day at sea.

We Saw Dolphins! - This was a really fun day led by Captain James and First Mate Madi! A short rain storm didn't dampen our spirits as we left Tortola Harbour and headed to White Bay on Jost Van Dyke island, the home of the iconic Soggy Dollar beach bar - a short swim to the beach made for soggy dollars back in the day! Flotation aids available for reluctant swimmers. So a relaxed couple of hours with chats and laughs over "painkiller" cocktails and purchasing t-shirts. Back to the boat, a buffet lunch and more sailing and taking photos which is when we saw the dolphins close by - a bonus! James and Madi wonderful hosts who interacted with us all, the boat immaculate, the atmosphere relaxed but gently organised. Highly recommended!
