The 5 Best Sailing Trips with an Open Bar in the US Virgin Islands

1.Champagne Sunset Sail from Margaritaville

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 691 reviews · from $130Our pick

Sail from Frydendal aboard a new catamaran for roughly two hours, with champagne, rum punch, Painkillers, cocktails, wine, beer, soda, and hors d’oeuvres. The crew may include captains such as Big Tuna, Danny Boy, or Sean, and the trip returns to the same meeting point after sunset and moonrise views.

“Tour was good food wasn’t great. Crew was friendly and willing to help. Was 50 people on the boat wasn’t to crowded anymore then that would have been hard to move around the deck. Heavy hors d’oeuvres was an overstatement. We booked snorkel with this company was far better experience.”

This sail was perfect, not too long, not too strenuous, and very enjoyable. Their first time in the USVI will be a most vivid memory for them because of this sail. Thanks to captain and crew for this perfect experience.”
