2.St. Thomas Dinner Sail to St. John with Open Bar & Hors D’oeuvres – Ritz-Carlton

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 47 reviews · from $149

Board a 53-foot catamaran at The Ritz-Carlton at 5 p.m. for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the way to St. John. Choose your own restaurant, then return under the stars with desserts, cordials, and a full open bar. Crew members including Elijah, Carter, and Captain Heather have earned warm praise.

“Enjoyed the cruise to St. John the staff was great. Would had been better if sailing during sunset. The cost of this sail was not worth it, it was very expensive for services provided by vendor: The sail was less than a hour to St. Johns, and return trip was 1/2 hour. The Hors D'oeuvres were corn chips and salsa, dinner was on your own and the deserts were store bought cheese cake squares and brownies. I would never recommend to anyone.”
