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!

So much fun! We were able to get amazing pictures of the sunset. Great food and drinks. Would definitely recommend! Bring a sweater as the ocean air is much cooler than on land.
Reaghan, Thank you for sailing with us! We're so glad you enjoyed the sunset, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and captured some amazing photos along the way. Thanks for the great tip about bringing a sweater, the ocean breeze can definitely cool things down after sunset! We hope to see you again soon!
It was totally worth it. Our guides were amazing and very attentive. They pre mix a rum drink called the pain killer and it is so good. They would refill your drink before you even finished it. They also have plenty of other drinks. The food was so good and they even offered seconds. My favorite part of the meal was the sweet plantain dessert. The views and sunset were the best. I highly recommend it.
Mayra, Thank you for such a fantastic review! We're so happy you enjoyed our famous Painkillers, delicious food, beautiful sunset, and attentive crew. We're especially glad you loved the sweet plantains, they're definitely a guest favorite! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you aboard again soon.
Great relaxing evening with A good dinner. The crew was very entertaining and interactive. The drinks were always full! A great way to spend a relaxing evening with your significant other or family. Definitely worth the money!
Tommy, Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, delicious dinner, entertaining crew, and of course, never having an empty glass! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back aboard The VI Cat again soon.

When visiting the island, the sunset cruise w/ The VI Cat is an absolute must! Departure was super easy, right at Marriott Frenchman’s Cove. It was about 10 min ride from our resort. The crew was absolutely welcoming & so attentive! They provided appetizers, & endless spirits while enjoying the spectacular majestic views the island has to offer with the stunning sunset. Then pulling back into the harbor with Frenchman’s Cove all lit up, nothing short of breathtaking! HUGE shout out to Capt. Mike, Tim, & Anders. Thank you for an AMAZING memorable time!

We had a wonderful evening on board the VI CAT. The staff Sam, Anders and Captain Mike took good care of us. We were given a humorous safety talk before we boarded and as we boarded we were handed "Painkiller" cocktails and they kept flowing throughout the night. We had tacos for dinner and they were pretty good! Chicken and beef, corn and flour tortillas, plus rice and beans. They views were incredible, the sunset was breath taking - definitely bring your camera. Everyone was mingling and having a good time. I highly recommend this excursion and would do it again when I'm back in St Thomas.
Kristina, Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy Sam, Anders, and Captain Mike helped create such a memorable evening for you. Between the sunset views, tacos, Painkillers, and great company, it sounds like the perfect Caribbean evening. We truly appreciate the recommendation and look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to St. Thomas!
A group of us went out on the VI Cat to celebrate a birthday and we had an amazing time! The trip was relaxing and the food exceeded all expectations. What really made the trip for us was how amazing the crew was through the whole trip. Our glasses were never empty and every crew member went above and beyond to make our group feel special. We would definitely book another trip in the future.
Risarenay, Thank you for celebrating with us! We're honored to have been part of such a special occasion. We're thrilled your group enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and attentive service from our crew. Creating memorable experiences is what we love to do, and we look forward to welcoming your group back aboard for another celebration in the future!
The Mac n cheese & meat was dry and cold. The hummus was very good but they had very little pita bread or veggies to go with it. The guides have very little interaction with guests or than, do you want more to drink. It was basically being on a boat going around in a circle by Frenchman’s cove. Pretty boring & food bland-wasn’t any better than what you would get from your local deli.
Michelle, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the hummus and found our crew pleasant. We're disappointed to hear that the food and overall experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a fun and engaging evening on the water, and your comments regarding the meal and onboard experience will be shared with our team as we continually look for ways to improve. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for joining us.
