Amazing! - What an amazing experience! The crew was incredibly nice and very good at their jobs. The Jammin’ is an awesome catamaran. Lovango was a very nice restaurant, it is expensive to dine so be prepared! It was definitely worth it though the food is very good and the ambiance was great. What a beautiful spot.

Excellent Adventure Despite the Weather - Even though the weather wasn't perfect, this catamaran sail was excellent. The captain did a great job avoiding the rain on the horizon. The crew were attentive with drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the way to Lovango. The time on the island was perfect. The food was 5 star! The trip back in the relaxing. We have used Cruz Bay Watersports on another trip to St. John. They do not disappoint.

Good Time - We had a good time, but I can't get to 5 stars. The crew was friendly but nothing special. It had rained hard before we boarded, and the seats had not been wiped off well. The snacks on the way to Lovango were ok, but the desserts on the way back were pretty weak. Open bar is always good. The restaurant at Lovango was closed, so we only had the casual dinner option available. We've done this same tour from St. Thomas before, and it was better.

Great Boat and Crew, but Know Your Lovango Night - We have dined at Lovango twice. The first time, using their ferry from town was magical with an exceptional dining experience with a lovely staff at Lovango. Last night's sail from the Westin was all that you could wish for on a gorgeous night. At Lovango, however, it was not the same experience as we had had before. It was equivalent to a dining experience at a cafeteria campground -- except, it was as costly as the first meal. The food was good, but it was not worth the trip. The onous was on us to understand the Lovango evenings -- full service, formal dining -- can't say enough. Cafeteria on very unpleasant seats -- not a good time. Again, the cost of the dining was not cheap for a far a pretty disappointing evening since Lavongo at its best is pretty great! Again, the Westin boat staff were quite great, and don't hesitate to take them if you understand the whole experience. I would have given them a five rating. Their Lime Out experience was great!

Did not care for Lovango Sunset Cruise - We did the Lovango Cay sunset dinner cruise. Really disappointing. You’re not in the boat for the sunset. When you get to Lovango resort the restaurant is pricey and serve yourself. We expected a sit down meal with a waiter or waitress, not to have to go to the bar to order your own drinks and go to another window to order food. For the price of food they should have someone taking orders.

It is misleading and... - It is misleading and sounded like you would be eating at the nice Lavango restaurant instead of that outside restaurant. We had the mahi and it was the worst meal ever, especially the sides with it! Then we were stuck there for almost 3 more hours with nothing to do or see! ???? It took 15 minutes going through the small shops and then we just sat there. Cruise itself was good!

Beautiful Catamaran and Great Crew - Catamaran was stunning and not crowded. Vibe was good with music and the open bar. Lovango Island—too long on the island (2-1/2 hours), and the food too expensive for its quality/quantity. We’d rather have sailed more, and just filled up on hors d’oerves and the bar on the catamaran.

NOT a Sunset or Dinner Cruise - Okay so this was a disappointing trip. It's billed as a four and a half hour Sunset Cruise. Well we were 20 minutes on the water that was from the Western dock over to the lovango dock and return. We were not even on the water when the sun set we were actually on land at the restaurant. Then when we got to the restaurant I thought dinner was included since I booked this as a dinner cruise and it wasn't we had to pay for the dinner separately. And then the rest of the time was spent on the island. So by the time we left the island to go back on to the water which was a 20 minute cruise back to the Westin dock it was already night time. Did not see a sunset. I do not recommend this unless you are wanting dinner on the island. The crew was great, supportive, entertaining, and even listened to my complaint about how this tour was booked. That is the only reason they got a two star. Other than that they would have gotten a one star. I would not recommend spending your money on this as it is not a sunset cruise.
