    Easy to book and Jason was super friendly and helpful! Captain Enzo was the best! He made our day delightful. Thank you!

    Little Cinnamon Beach lunch spot

    Our family of four spent a day with Captain Ryan on an island roots charter, and it was the most amazing day! I can't say enough about Ryan. He was polite, patient and obviously an experienced Captain. Both my daughter and I remarked on how he remembered each of our names- and she's only ten! He listened to what we hoped to get out of the day's charter and took us to each spot we suggested. Lovango Beach and Henley Cay were amazing snorkeling spots. Trunk Bay brought a shark sighting and some purposeful swimming back to the boat. Pizza Pi was closed for the season, so Ryan recommended North Shore Deli to dock, grab the sandwiches he ordered on our behalf and jump back on board. It was amazing- buffalo chicken dip was delicious! Ryan pulled up to Little Cinnamon Beach and we had lunch on the beach looking over the clearest water and pristine beach. Finally, he patiently dealt with our five here old wanting to go back to the pool (sigh). And he took us to a sunken ship where we saw at least two turtles. I would say this spot was better than Maho Beach for turtle spotting. It was worth paying the extra dollars to be picked up and returned from the Westin- more economical than taking the taxis to Cruz Bay. The entire experience was talked about over dinner, and I can't wait to recommend Ryan and Island Roots to friends. We will definitely book again when we return to STJVI. Thanks, Island Roots and Captain Ryan!

    Went out today with my family. Matt, our captain, was amazing. Was way more patient with my kids…read morethan I could be, took us to great locations for snorkeling, showed my kids some sea turtles, and topped it off with a great lunch at Lime Out. Easily the best charter I have been on. What a fantastic experience!!!

    I'm going to preface this review by saying i am giving 5 stars to the amazing captain that day and…read moreshe gave us an amazing experience. Besides that i would probably give 2 stars because of customer service. But I'll give 3 to even it out. I booked the Salt Deck months in advance for a birthday celebration. I looked at many other charters but I liked this boat since it was different. The night before 8pm, I get a call saying we are being switched to a different boat since there are just 2 us of. I wasn't really sure what to say since it didn't seem there was a choice. The next day we arrive and it is a regular boat and it was explained it was better for us since we could go out farther. I honestly was very upset with the last minute change. It was less expensive but that was not the experience I had expected or booked so for in advance. We ended up seeing a larger group on the boat I booked in advanced and I figured they just got paid more for a bigger group. To be honest I was very unhappy about it. That being said we did have a great time regardless. Thanks to our captain she was wonderful so the rating is for her. 2 stars for the business though.

We knew we wanted to take an excursion from St. John and luckily, our resort (Ritz Carlton Club) was able to find us the perfect trip with Chris. We departed our hotel (with our own drinks and snacks), coolers, towels, diving/snorkel gear were provided. Chris also coordinated going through customs at British Virgin Islands, our first stop were the Baths. It was an amazing ride with the beautiful waters, scenic shorelines, and awesome captain. Chris is not only a skilled captain but a great tour guide having grown up and spending a lot of time in this region. He pointed out the top beaches and a lot of other landmarks along the way. We spent time navigating through the Baths (I suggest water shoes as the ground was fairly hot and some of the rocks, nooks, and tunnels you have to go through are pretty challenging for the some of us. We touched many of the other islands like Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and had lunch at the Soggy Dollar with Chris. Chris is personable, professional, and has a 'good seaside manner'--very skilled at the helm. Loved this trip, Chris and Local Legend made it one of our most memorable travels.
