We had an absolute blast!!
Working with Philip to plan our vacation was a pleasure and made the entire planning process easy and fast. Our boat was beautiful and Drew and Melissa were excellent captain and chef couple and added so much to our tripl.
We had a group of 4 couples for my birthday trip and it was fantastic from start to finish. We spent 3 days in Saint Thomas before departing on our 7 day boat charter. We loved all the wildlife and the secret beaches. The chef made great food the entire trip but she made my birthday dinner extra special with multiple courses and the most beautiful cake! Additionally, Captain Jay was a really fun time and even taught a few of us how to sail and how the catamaran works. Can't say enough good things about the trip and thanks to Emerald Sail for making it all come together.
This was our first yacht charter and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a unique family vacation. St Thomas and the surrounding islands are beyond beautiful and I was amazed at how much there was to do on our catamaran. Really happy overall.
