Anyone have any recommendations for day sail companies to the Baths or Jost from STT?

Welcome to the forum. Most "daysail" boats will only go to Buck and Possibly Water Islands if boarded near Charlotte Amalie. East end daysail boats will take you to St John and possibly Christmas Cove.

If you want to see the Baths it will be by powerboat. Do you want to be on a boat that holds 6 or 60? Do you want to sail or be on a powerboat?

Thanks Kimber, I actually have been here for quite a few years, and sailed with many on the forum. Just forgot my login and had to reset. Not for me, for a friend...who is coming to STT on a cruise ship and my advice was skip it and try to find someone to get you over to the BVI's for the day. But didn't have any recommendations.

No problem. I still don't know if your friend wants to be on a big boat like Breakaway or a medium boat like Stormy Petrol/Pirates Penny or a small boat of which there are many to choose. Many are based out of Sapphire Beach Marina. All are good or they wouldn't be in business. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As much as I love the BVI, spending the day there on a cruise ship stop in STT is tough to fit in on their port schedule, in most cases.
There is plenty to see and do in STT unless they have been here often and spent more time visiting than a cruise ship stop - also visiting St John for a few hours is considerably easier to arrange if they have never been there.
Cruise ship arrival and departure times rarely allow for using the scheduled BVI trips - it would almost certainly have to be a private power boat charter and depending on the ship departure time getting back on in time may become a concern. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
It can be done for sure but it may not be as relaxed a day as a BVI exploration deserves. [justMHO]
