    Five stars for the experience but 3 stars for the customer service. Booking was easy online and we took a cab to Sapphire Beach and he knew just where to drop us at the marina. Easy to sign the waiver on the iPad and board the boat. Crew member was super nice and helpful and got us geared up, and gave instructions on where the sling should sit on your legs. Then when they got the sail up and were ready to hook us in, the captain adjusted my sling much further down than where the crew had told me it was supposed to be, so I adjusted it and he rudely said "I just adjusted it, why would you move it?" Unnecessary, and there's a way to correct without being a jerk about it. It really soured the experience right before going into the air. But he was literally about to have my life in his hands so I didn't call him out on it. Views were amazing and being up that high and hanging free was unreal. I took my phone in a waterproof case that I could hang around my neck because they had told us they would "dip" us in the ocean before pulling us back to the deck. It was just a dip (not fully submerged). You take off and land on the deck of the boat on your bum and felt safe the whole time. Would totally do it again!

    3 out of our 4-family member crew did this and it was a blast! The crew is perfect! -Safe, entertaining, giving clear directions.. this was our first time ever doing this. We had a 12 o'clock appt. Website said be there 15 min's early, which we were and you should. You have to check in... the last crew has to leave... we were heading out at 12(and we were seconds from being to far gone when the last couple showed up, they stopped for them -even tho they showed up at 12). The guy's on the crew made the experience!

    No impressed at all with the customer service. Called to inquire about reservations for Christmas Day for family of 5. The Website lists $90 per parasailor and $30 per observer. The kid that answered tried to charge $120 per parasailor and $70 per observer...trying to state their website just wasn't updated yet. I asked if he would honor their website and he said "nope." But then said he'd give a $10 discount. Ummmm....okay, buddy. I understand companies are going through a hard time with Covid (which is one of the reasons why we are trying to support all of the local companies while here and not just lie around on the beach which I'm happy to do!). We'll go find another company that honors the prices listed on their site.

    My husband and 3 children did parasailing while in st Thomas. Staff was excellent and they absolutely loved their experience. Only negative would be that they could have been up for a bit longer.

    We parasailed today with Eric, Max, and Steven. They were awesome! We had an amazing experience with breathtaking views. Definitely a great way to end our trip.

    Had a great sunset cruise last night on Lady Lynsey II out of the Ritz…read more The crew was amazing (Captain Heather, Phillip and Sam). Made sure we had plenty to drink and served light appetizers. They were friendly and seemed to be there with a smile when we needed anything. It was cloudy and thought that we wouldn't get much of a sunset ... but we were wrong. Wow ... what a spectacular sky. Highly recommend this sunset cruise for a relaxing evening on the water

    **Amazing Jet Ski Tour and Fantastic Guide!**…read more Cruz Bay Watersports made our visit to St. John unforgettable! We loved the convenience of having their storefront right at our resort, the Westin St. John Resort & Villas, making it so easy to book a tour. The guided jet ski tour we took was hands-down the most fun we had during our trip! We started the 1 hour tour from our resort in Great Cruz Bay to our 1st stop at Steven Cay before heading north to Two Brothers island for more fun jet skiiing near the island. On the way back, we stopped near deeper waters to zip around Moraviane Reef - safe for jet skiing and being away from boat traffic. A special shout-out to our guide, **Josh**, who took incredible care of us throughout the entire experience. I was a bit nervous at first, but Josh was so attentive and made me feel completely at ease. He kept a close eye on me while I followed behind and ensured that I was comfortable and safe the whole time. Josh also went above and beyond by taking plenty of videos and photos of us on the jet skis, which gave us the best memories to take home. If you're looking for a fun and safe adventure while in St. John, **Cruz Bay Watersports** is the way to go. We'll definitely be back!

    DO NOT RECOMMEND We sailed with Festiva in the BVI's the…read moreweek of November 22, 2025. This review comes four weeks after completion of our trip due to the conversation we've been attempting to have with management. This was our third trip with this company. We were returning guests that brought friends along to join us in what was one of the best holidays we had ever taken; unfortunately, this was not the case this time around, not even close. I honestly don't know where to begin as there are so many things to mention. From the start Captain Tyrone was aloof, dismissive and uninformative. The first 24 hours onboard we had an alarm, like a smoke detector or carbon monoxide alarm, going off every 30 minutes. We woke up First Mate Compton to address the situation, since Tyrone was not on the boat and no where to be found, and were told there was nothing he could do about it. After a sleepless night, once our captain returned in the morning, we asked three times for the situation to be rectified. We were brushed off, told it was a bilge pump, told to try turning off the AC the told, "it's a boat, it makes noise. We owned a boat, this was not normal, it was an alarm, neither one of our crew cared. Only after writing an email to Tammy in the office was the situation addressed. Tyrone simply disconnected the alarm, which we found out later was a high water alert, and had to be in good working order to legally be underway on this vessel. After getting annoyed about the fact we had to contact management with our concern Tyrone proceeded to be argumentative and rude through the rest of the week. We moored around Tortola for 3 nights, at least 2 more than we should have, so, we're guessing, Tyrone could sleep at home, since he was off the boat every one of those nights, all night. Not only did we have no way of reaching him, he disappeared with the dinghy, our only way of getting off the boat if there had been an emergency since there was no life raft. We did not go to any good snorkel spots, stopping at maybe 4 over our entire week. We were told half way through our trip that we could not go to most of our anticipated bays and beaches because the anchor was broken. Why were we on a catamaran with a broken anchor? Or was this just an excuse out of sheer laziness? This was not the only thing malfunctioning on the boat; we had broken cupboards, no shower off the back, torn seats, and general uncleanliness. Our meals were very basic, mostly sandwiches for lunch and a bag of chips for snacks. Compton did make a couple of lovely dinners, but the service was not what we expected, not what was advertised and not what we paid for. Our captain told us we could not get more Baileys as requested, "once it's gone, it's gone" was the answer we got. This was not our previous experience, we are dumbfounded that this could even be the same company. The other two couples on the boat were great. We only just met when we boarded and had a great week with them, thank goodness. They were in the same situation as us, returning customers who brought friends. They, too, were regretful and embarrassed they brought along others since this vacation was nothing like the one they had experienced in the past. There were many other little, and not so little, things that occurred, this post could go on and on, but I'll leave it here, for now. After returning home we all wrote separate letters to Tammy expressing our disappointment. A week later we got a blanket email back from her stating that she received a very different story from the crew, that we had been difficult to please, and essentially called us liars, all 8 of us. Interesting that she received similar letters from guests that started as strangers, had sailed with them before, had genuine concerns with service and safety and she still chose to dismiss and insult each of us. We have now written a lower, as a group, to the "higher ups" and marine agencies that regulate safety on the water. We presently await their response. We will be review posting again accordingly.

    Captain Tyrone was more interested in his phone and spending nights off boat on Tortola then…read moresailing the loop. I am a return guest and this trip was the exact opposite of my previous trip with them. From a dirty and in need of repair Lagoon, unfriendly crew and inept management (Tammy) Festiva has gone down hill. Two people cut/punctured their feet on board due to sweeping debris into the stairwells for the bedrooms. Zero assistance from crew other than pointing to a poorly equipped first aid kit. Only 4 snorkeling stops in total vs 2-4 per day on last trip. Decent breakfast and dinners with lunches lacking. Find other options, Festiva appears to be in a downward spiral.
