Best Day Ever! - Andrew, our Captain, was wonderful! He was able to coordinate our trip so that we were able to successfully do everything! From our trip to the Baths, lunch in Norman Island, a stop at Jost Van Dyke for a drink at Soggy dollar and even some snorkeling...we never felt rushed! It was the best private experience ever! We were able to see and do so much! We were truly grateful for the experience. Highly recommend!
