Itinerary
Travel independently via taxi or driving to the Marriott Frenchman's Cove, timing your journey to arrive by 5:00pm where you will check in with The VI Cat's Crew on the DOCK. Guests can park for free in the large, flat gravel parking lot on the right hand side after the security gate. From there, follow signs that say "public access to the beach". The large wooden dock is off of the beach, next to the pool.
Then, admire 'The Cat', our 54-foot (16-meter), US Coast Guard certified, sleek sailing catamaran that will take you on your 2-hour harbor lights dinner sail. Once you meet your Captain and Crew, step aboard and find a comfortable spot to relax on deck. Watch as the sails are raised and absorb the views as The Cat sails into the open sea where you will dine on a delicious BBQ dinner prepared by The Cat's own caterer. Be sure to watch as the lights of Charlotte Amalie come to life. Keep an eye out for any cruise ships or yachts that may pass by while sailing around the Harbour of Charlotte Amalie.
After dinner, absorb the views and breezes, maybe even enjoy a little dancing while you cruise back to the Marriott's Frenchman's Cove, where your 2-hour trip concludes. Don't forget to tip your crew!

Reviews
Wonderful evening sail (They actually put sails up) to watch sunset before motoring around the harbor. Taco dinner was nice. Drinks never stopped flowing. Staff were excellent.
The boat was spacious and comfortable. The crew were very friendly and pleasant. The BBQ dinner was pretty good and the open bar was awesome! Seeing St Thomas shoreline light up at night was beautiful. We hoped to see a sunset, but the clouds got in the horizon. Access to the boat was easy.
The team did a great job. Food was very tasty. We definitely recommend taking this tour if you’re traveling to St. Thomas.
Overall great night. The parking area wasn't easily accessible for handicap. Had to walk driveway downhill then across beach to reach dock. There should be an available shuttle included for passengers. Instructions given at front gate did not mention elevators or specific directions to finf the dock. We had to wait for shuttle boat to disembark passengers before we could board the boat, then had to wait in harbor area for cruise ship to leave, which made it hot with no boat movement. The food was decent, but pricy for taco dinner. After dinner we toured the yacht harbour & city views. The night light & big boats were awesome.
It was a wonderful cruise even though we saw no sunset due to clouds. Cruising around the island, seeing it lit up was gorgeous. The food was all yummy and the crew was exceptional.
Convenient pick-up location and good crew. Didn't "sail" that much or far, maybe due to weather, but still was fun. Taco Tuesday but also had some vegetarian options which we appreciated. Price was competitive.
Good food and bottomless Painkillers. Wonderful evening sail on VI Cat. Rain made the party even better.
This was an amazing dinner catamaran cruise with Dan, Dave and Adrienne. Food was delicious and the crew treated us with great hospitality. This is a must when visiting St Thomas!!
Fun trip. Friendly crew, Taco Tuesday was good. Happy it was the off season as we had lots of room on the Cat.
The sailing and dinner on board is as advertised and more. If you’re thinking smooth sailing and a candle light dinner, this is not it. We sailed in slightly choppy waters as the sunset and enjoyed fun music, a few drinks and a decent meal on the catamaran. Fortunately this is the slow season (Oct) and the number of passengers was woefully below their max capacity of 84. My group was around 24 so we had room to move around. I wouldn’t do this with the max number of people. The crew was upbeat, interacted with us passengers as they went about their important duties. For Tuesday tacos, the meal was simple and tasty but not suitable for my friend who was a little seasick. I would definitely do this activity again and would want to be on Captain Mike’s ship again. I highly recommend this activity.
Staff was great. Took very good care of us. I would’ve liked to have had some more information about what we were seeing. I ask the captain Mike for that and he started telling us some history. What we were seeing. The boat was in very good shape and clean.
Beautiful sunset dinner cruise! Relaxing, enjoyable! Crew was fantastic! Customer service was great! Painkillers kept flowing! Definitely worth it!
The food was great, the trip was nice and relaxing, and lots of alcohol, and the crew was friendly and informative. I'd recommend this if you're in the area and I'd do it again if I'm ever back in the Virgin Islands.
Wonderful experience all the way around. You’re on motor until you get out of the cove, then it’s sails. It was truly relaxing, the crew was very attentive, and the food was really good If you’re looking for something fun to do while in St. Thomas schedule the Vi Cat and sail the Virgin Islands
We thought it was a great time! The crew was great they were very sociable and the food was good as well
We picked the perfect evening to attend! The weather was fantastic! Smooth sailing, delicious food and a fun and engaging crew made this wedding anniversary experience extra special! This is a must do event!
I’m a local who went with my grandma for her birthday (locals, theres a discount for us!!) and it was a great experience, what a relaxing way to end the day!
Captain Sam, Nshaun and Dan are great. We never wanted for a thing. They made sure drinks flowed generously , food was above or equal to anything we have had on the island. Mom was a chef and I’m definitely impressed with quality, portion size, and the crews service. If you don’t get all you can eat and drink then blame the guy in the mirror the next morning.
The trip was absolutely fabulous and the crew hand and captain was very kind. They made sure you had a wonderful time and plenty of food.. the sunset views were spectacular
Captain Sam and crew Dan and Nashawn went above and beyond with their hospitality and service. Open bar with the famous pain killers as the go to drink. Dinner was delicious with plenty for everyone! We are here for our honeymoon with being my favorite night with my amazing husband! Don’t miss out on this adventure. A night watching the sunset, good music, great food and amazing crew! Thanks guys!
Our crew was amazing! Very funny and really accommodating. Dan the bartender was very nice. Recommend doing this cruise, gorgeous scenery as the sun was setting, even some clouds with far away lightening!! Really nice!!!
Very relaxing sunset cruise. The food was excellent and the painkiller cocktails free-flowing. I highly recommend for everyone!
Really enjoyable, relaxing, surprisingly good food and very accommodating staff. Highly recommended.
It was an average experience overall. The food wasn’t great as I expected it to more. Drinks were definitely superfluous if you are into drinking! They keep your cup full but I passed. Overall I’d say it’s an average experience.
This was such a fun trip. The Capt. Dave and crew Dan and Nashawn were loads of fun and had a ton of info about the islands. The sunset was gorgeous and the harbor lights beautiful. The food was delicious and the drinks bottomless. Highly recommend taking the Sunset dinner cruise on the VI Cat
Would have been wonderful if more aware of what was being offered. Reading the original listing it seems like a full dinner service (with open bar) - it was more like a party boat with buffet style. Which is completely fine! Unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones who noticed the difference and there were many other customers who voiced their disappointment. It also looked like they had overbooked compared to the photos you see. There was limited room for people to sit and that also caused some uncomfortable moments for other customers. We asked for a partial refund and was denied by the operator but was told to file with our card company so we will be doing so when able. If you’re down for what I just described then this is perfect!
Crew were all friendly. Food was hot and delicious. Scenery was beautiful.
It was so friendly and amazing. Everyone was having a great time. Met super friendly passengers. Food was EXCELLENT.
We had a great time with the cruise. Plenty of eats, drinks, and wonderful company. It was great to get back out a yacht. We would definitely do it again. Bob and Sonja
Very nice. Not overcrowded and crew was fun and friendly. Food was very good and there were options. Trip had beautiful scenery and was a great experience.
Great crew all were frendly and helpful, good food and drinks. A perfect way to see the island from the water.
Beautiful night on the Sunset & Harbor Sunset Cruise! Totally recommend! The crew was awesome! Would go again!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the VI Cat Sunset Dinner Cruise while celebrating our 20th anniversary. Our son tagged along, and the three of us enjoyed every moment of the evening. The staff was amazing from start to finish, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The views were fantastic, especially during the sunset, and made the entire evening feel even more special. The food was delicious, with everything we tried being enjoyable, and the open bar was a great addition to the experience. It was the perfect combination of great service, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Our experience was excellent. My wife set this up for our anniversary and ordered a bottle of champagne. It was one of most beautiful things we have done as a couple and we have done a lot The captian and crew were great!! The food was great!! If you visit St. Thomas USVI you must do this!!! I this recommend 100%!!!!!!
My children have a gluten allergy & when I acquired about gluten free options (taco night) the communication leading up to the cruise was great! They packaged our food separately & the kids loved it. One of my kids also got a little sea sick when we took off, & the guys took care of him with water, ginger ale and something to help. They all did such a great job! It was nice to be able to partake just like everyone else.
It was such a great experience. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The food was great and they were very accommodating for one person that was a
Everyone was kind and fun, was relaxed and happy the entire time I was there, wished it had gone longer, would go again for sure
The captain, crew, and cruise were great! 4 out of 5 stars because it felt overbooked and by the time it was our turn to eat, the food was picked over and cold. Other than that, it was an enjoyable cruise. Would recommend.
The view during this excursion was beautiful. The staff and the captain were helpful and attentive. We enjoyed the painkiller drinks and the taco bar. would definitely do this again.
Our Sunset & Harbor Lights Dinner Sail aboard the VI Catamaran from Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove was truly one of the highlights of our vacation! If you’re visiting St. Thomas, this is an absolute must-do experience. I can’t stress it enough, please book these excursions through St. Thomas Water Sports! Natalie is the manager and is absolutely fantastic and goes above and beyond to ensure the best experience possible! Before we even stepped aboard, we knew we were in great hands thanks to Natalie and Kianna at St. Thomas Water Sports. We actually booked three different excursions because of them! They went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They answered every question we had, explained exactly what to expect, told us where and when to meet, what to bring, and made the entire booking process completely stress-free. Their customer service is truly second to none, and they made us feel so welcomed during our first visit to St. Thomas. They are absolute rays of sunshine, and their kindness is one of the biggest reasons we chose to book multiple excursions! One piece of advice they gave us that we’re so thankful for: don’t wear heels! You’ll need to remove your shoes before boarding the catamaran, so definitely wear comfortable shoes or sandals that are easy to slip on and off. That little tip made boarding so much easier! Once aboard, the crew was phenomenal! A huge thank you to Captain Mike, Nahshon, Mary, Anders, and Adrienne for making the evening so unforgettable. Every single crew member was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, fun, and genuinely kind. They worked seamlessly together to make sure every guest was comfortable, well taken care of and having an amazing time from start to finish. Captain Mike gave us a smooth, relaxing sail while sharing interesting information about the harbor and surrounding islands. Watching the sunset over the Caribbean and then seeing the harbor lights come alive as evening set in was absolutely breathtaking. Captain make also helped and ensured everyone was safe stepping off the boat! Nahshon brought incredible energy and enthusiasm throughout the evening, taking time to interact with everyone and making the experience even more enjoyable. Mary, Anders, and Adrienne were equally outstanding, constantly checking on guests, serving drinks with a smile and making sure everyone had everything they needed. Their hospitality was exceptional and you could truly tell they loved what they do. The dinner was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of food! We enjoyed a wonderful taco buffet with a variety of tacos, soft and hard taco shells, flavorful rice and beans, chips and salsa, and some toppings too. If you don’t like their traditional pain killer drink, there’s a full bar to enjoy! Everything was fresh and delicious, and there was something for everyone. Pair that with great drinks, beautiful music, incredible views, and the most amazing crew, and it made for the perfect evening. What stood out most was how genuinely happy, friendly, and caring everyone crew member was. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure guests had an unforgettable experience. You can tell they truly love creating memorable moments for visitors. Captain Mike was so sweet to make sure everyone got off the boat safely and with a smile!!! This excursion was worth every single penny and was perfect in terms of length of the trip. Between the incredible food, unlimited hospitality, breathtaking sunset and harbor views, outstanding crew, and unforgettable atmosphere, it exceeded every expectation we had. We would book it again in a heartbeat. We can’t recommend St. Thomas Water Sports enough. Between the outstanding customer service from Natalie and Kianna and the incredible crew and captain Mike aboard the VI Catamaran, this was an experience we’ll never forget. Also please don’t forget to graciously tip the crew, they truly make the dinner sail an unforgettable experience! :) If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun, beautiful evening with amazing food, wonderful people, and breathtaking Caribbean views and beautiful sunset views, this is the excursion to book. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. Thomas, you won’t regret it! :) I can’t wait for our next visit to Saint Thomas, to rebook this! I’d only recommend booking through St Thomas water sports- it’ll be seamless and easy! :)
Overall good. Boat was a bit too crowded. Food and crew were good.
The experience on this boat was nice crew was wonderful very hospitable and welcoming very informative on safety measures food was great drinks were coming. I would have hope for better seating with no seating I couldn’t enjoy the great food with the boat moving and a mix selection of music would be a delight . But for the most part 9 out of 10 would recommend just arrive early for a seat
The crew deck is very welcoming and accommodating. The food was actually good didn’t really expect that, but wish the vibe was a little more upbeat . Needed music i believe there was music but extremely low. Some people love to talk without music but hey this is my review. The sunset cruise definitely added to our stay in St Thomas.
My family and I had a lovely time on our Sunset Cruise. We got to enjoy the views of the island at a beautiful time of day. Captain Philip and his crew were great hosts. They kept the drinks flowing and made sure we had our fill of food.
We had a wonderful experience with Sam, Dan and Capt. Philip! They were all very nice and friendly and we had a great time. We felt safe at all times and they had a great process to keep the food/drink area clean. My sister had allergies so Sam made sure she was taken care of so she wouldn’t get sick. I would recommend this excursion!
Fantastic experience! Captain Phillip and the crew, Dan, Adrian, and Sam, were all Amazing!! My daughter was nervous as it was her first time on a boat, but the ride was smooth. The food and drinks were top tier. The views were immaculate. Would 100% recommend to anyone, family vacation, honeymoon, girls or boys trip; it's appropriate for all different types of parties!
An amazing time, the crew, the views, the food, the drinks everything was an exceptional time would definitely do it again when we come back
Great crew and an amazing experience!
A must do while you are in St. Thomas!! The cruise was amazing and beautiful…..simply breathtaking! The crew was amazing, checked on us the passengers all throughout the cruise to make sure we were comfortable! Each crew member knew the history of St. Thomas and shared interesting points. I will take this cruise each time we come to St. Thomas.
