About this activity

Sailing on Helios in the Virgin Islands can be one of the most memorable days spent on your vacation. The Virgin Islands are a popular destination for sailors, with near-constant trade winds, all-year round high temperatures and dazzling white sandy beaches lapped by tranquil, clear turquoise waters. This can include exploring many of the Islands and Cays in the Virgin Islands, all excellent snorkeling spots teeming with fish and coral. Your lunch is included with beverages and very open bar!

Awesome Day on a Classic Yacht!

Awesome daysail on a beautiful classic yacht! We contacted Captain Jay about going for a sail after arriving in St John and he quickly responded. We booked a half day sail. After he picked us up at the ferry landing, we asked if he would have any issue with simply sailing for the afternoon. He immediately accommodated our request. We then spent the next few hours joyfully sailing this beautiful yacht in the idyllic waters between St John and St Thomas. A perfect day underway on a lovely yacht!

5 Hr Private Sailing Charter in Pillsbury Sound, USVI

Captain Jay and Hunter were fantastic! Picked us up at the High Tide bar in Cruz Bay with a little dinghy and took us out to the sailboat. After a short safety briefing we headed out of the harbor. Captain Jay asked us what we wanted to do and suggested some options. We all agreed that sailing and a little snorkeling followed by a sunset view would be perfect. Hunter was an excellent bartender and kept the painkillers coming. Captain Jay expertly navigated us around Pillsbury Sound to all our locations and views. There is nothing like the sound of the sails unfurling and flapping in the wind. So tranquil and relaxing! We would not only do this trip again, we would love to do it tomorrow!

Beautiful and Peaceful

Captain Jay was very engaging, took us to great destinations and gave us a wonderful history lesson of the area. Both him and his wife made sure were well taken care of and drinks always full. Will definitely sail again with them when we come back to St. John’s!

Fabulous Sailing Day on Helios!

We absolutely loved our day sail with Captain Jay and Mia who were both so warm and welcoming! Captain Jay is extremely knowledgeable and has many interesting stories to tell. Mia was wonderful snorkeling with us and catered to our every need on the boat. The food and drinks were great. We loved sitting up front in the beanbags and relaxing with a drink as we sailed along taking in the amazing scenery. The day sail was our absolute favorite thing we did while visiting St. John. We highly recommend sailing on the beautiful Helios.
