“What a fantastic experience! My husband and I sailed with Frank at Sailing St. Kitts on New Year’s Eve, and it was nothing short of magical. From the stunning sunset views to catching a cruise ship heading out for the night, the evening was perfect. Frank’s hospitality, knowledge, and storytelling made it feel like a private, personalized adventure. We felt so at ease on the boat and had such a great time that now my husband is already looking into sailing lessons so we can charter our own experience next time! If you’re looking for a memorable, intimate sailing experience, I highly recommend Sailing St. Kitts with Frank. It’s truly a must-do!”
“I recently had the pleasure of joining Frank Jones for a 4-hour sail excursion in St. Kitts, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we set sail, Captain Frank made us feel welcome and at ease with his laid-back, friendly vibe. He was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that everyone on board felt comfortable and had everything they needed. The highlight of the trip was definitely the snorkeling stop. The waters were crystal clear, and Captain Frank took the time to guide us to the best spots, where we saw vibrant coral reefs and an array of colorful fish. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. The boat itself was in great condition, and the whole excursion was well-paced—plenty of time for sailing, exploring, and simply enjoying the beautiful coastline of St. Kitts. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just looking to unwind on the water, this trip offers something for everyone. I highly recommend Frank Jones’ sail excursion to anyone visiting St. Kitts. Captain Frank’s personal touch and easygoing nature made it a truly special experience. It was the highlight of our trip, and I can’t wait to do it again!”
“Frank was very good at communicating and gave us a great experience in St Kitts. We had a last minute cancelation on our private charter and frank was able to accommodate us with under a days notice. He was very thorough in the information provided and trust worthy. His sailboat was very comfortable with plenty of shade for a group of 8 with little kids. He picked us up right next to the marina where our cruise ship docked and took us to a spot to snorkel. He provided all gear and you can order drinks and food that he will bring on the boat so you can eat on the trip. We had a nice calm sailing and he was an expert in navigating the sail boat. Would definitely recommend him if you need a private charter.”
“Our group sailed out of the marina with Captain Frank and first mate Sami-Qua this past week and it was such a wonderful experience. It felt as if we were traveling with old friends. The sights were beautiful and the snorkeling and meal were fantastic. I highly recommend booking here if you’d like to enjoy a fun, relaxing trip. My children, ages 12, 10 and 8 thoroughly enjoyed the trip as well with one asking us to move to St Kitts because our trip “was the most fun he’s ever had.” Thank you Frank and Sami-Qua for the hospitality and for catering to our every need.”
“My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on our half-day sailing charter with Captain Frank. After a miscommunication on my end, I wasn’t sure if we would be able to go. Yet Captain Frank when out of his way to accommodate us. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that he genuinely cared about ensuring we had an amazing time. Captain Frank was not only personable and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about sailing and the local waters, which made the trip both enjoyable and informative. The sailboat was impeccably maintained, making the entire experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. What really stood out was how Captain Frank went above and beyond to take care of every detail. He thoughtfully organized food and drinks for us, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the day. His attention to detail and passion for sailing truly made this an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a memorable and carefree day on the water!”
“Our day on IRIE with Captain Frank was the best experience we had out of all the tours we went on at St Kitts. We had reserved a day with Captain Frank months in advance and his communications through email were speedy and informative. My wife and I are new sailors and IRIE is a comfortable, beautiful and well equipped sailboat. Captain Frank allowed us to take the helm and manage some of the lines/sails with his instruction. He is a seasoned sailor and very patient teacher. We had sailed out to his private mooring where we found crystal clear waters, vibrant fish, spotted sea ray around a reef full of sea life. We highly recommend reserving your day on the water with Captain Frank on IRIE. Our only regret was we didn’t reserve more days on the water. We know to next time!”
“Unforgettable boating experience!
Our family had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Frank while vacationing in St. Kitts, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we set sail, Frank made sure we were comfortable and well-informed. Frank is incredibly kind and personable. He made the day very relaxing for us! The boat itself was clean and well-maintained, offering both shaded areas and spots to soak in the sun. The day was perfectly balanced between relaxing on the boat and snorkeling the clear blue waters, with beautiful coral, starfish and colorful fish. Our boating experience on Frank’s beautiful boat exceeded our expectations. The only thing we regret is not booking additional hours! It was, by far, our favorite excursion of our vacation and we can’t recommend it enough!”
“Captain Frank was amazing . We started off being late for our scheduled 11am departure due to our transportation to the marina in St Kitts . Frank was very accommodating and settled us down and made us feel so relaxed. The day was great in most part due to Captain Frank he really took the time to make sure our every need was met. We prearranged lunch , along with Margaritas and our order was exactly as we expected. The snorkeling stop was truly world class. We were sad to end the day as Captain Frank made memories of a lifetime. We most definitely would recommend Captain Franks charter service as a must do when in St Kitts. We will be back”
“We recently visited St. Kitts for my brother in laws 50th birthday and reached out to Captain Frank to enjoy a day on the water. Enjoy we did. Frank was extremely nice, prepared, and a very capable sailor. We ordered food from him through a local restaurant. We did snacky stuff rather than full meals, and it suited the six of us just fine. Frank had everything set up when we arrived and we promptly left the harbor and hoisted the sails. We were fortunate to have very good winds and moved right along toward out destination which was a calm little cove that Frank keeps secret. Along the way he brought up drinks from below as needed and gave us a pretty good history lesson of the island. (he also talked about hiking the volcano in what we would find out later had to be a record time, man that was painful) Once we arrived we got our gear together and snorkeled around for an hour or so. We decided to extend our stay by about an hour to give us time to enjoy our food while moored. Once we were ready to head out, we hoisted the sails once again and headed back. Altogether one of the best parts of the trip and I would suggest it to anyone who wants a laid back good day to spend on the water.”
“Our sail adventure with Frank on St Kitts was nothing short of spectacular! We lucked into a last-minute reservation after he had a cancellation, and we couldn’t have been more thankful. He ensured we could order all the catering we wanted for the next day. Despite a bit of rain, the experience was incredibly fun and memorable. Frank’s warm hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we stepped aboard. He ensured that every aspect of the trip was enjoyable, and even the rainy moments were an exciting part of the adventure. Frank’s knowledge of the area and his passion for sailing shone through, adding a special touch to the entire journey. We explored a beautiful, hidden spot around the island for snorkeling and learned fascinating stories along the way. The boat was well-maintained and comfortable, and Frank’s expert handling made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the trip. The highlight was Frank’s ability to create a joyful and engaging atmosphere. Whether through sharing local insights or teaching the young kids about sailing, Frank turned a rainy day into a bright and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this sail adventure to anyone visiting St Kitts. Thank you, Frank, for an incredible day on the water – rain or shine!”
“We were made aware of Frank’s sailing through a neighboring guest at the Park Hyatt and from the moment we reached out, Frank was responsive, thorough, informative and kind. Frank provides 5 star service and we had a wonderful experience. We opted form the 4hr sailing from 10am-2pm and snorkeled for an hour. Frank also coordinated the taxi to and from the marina (you pay the taxi directly or you can arrange your own transportation) Food, beer and wine were an added cost and was fairly priced. During the sailing trip, not only was Frank your captain also your butler! Lol he didn’t want you lifting a finger! He provided snorkel gear, chairs to relax on the bow, and a portable bluetooth speaker. We were lucky to get great weather and had a great time on the 49’, well kept sailboat. Thanks Frank!”
“Sailing on the ocean was a bucket list item for me & it lived up to my dreams! Frank is a great guide & sailing teacher! The snorkeling was so cool & sailing into the sunset was breath taking! 10/10 recommend!!!”
“If you’re considering a sailing tour, look no further. Captain Frank is an extremely proficient captain but more importantly, he’s a great guy. My wife and I did a 4-hour sunset cruise and just enjoyed having a few drinks while getting to know Frank. We really enjoyed the snorkeling too. Frank checked all of the boxes. He was on time, prepared, had all of the necessary gear, had the food and drinks (actually had more stuff than we requested which was appreciated) we ordered, etc….he was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. We also got a locals (Frank is from New Orleans but lives in St. Kitts now) perspective on where to go, where not to go. I highly recommend a cruise with Captain Frank. There is a reason he gets so many good reviews.”
“Sailing with Captain Frank on IRIE, the Dufour 460, was the highlight of our trip to St Kitts. We did the 4 hour sail and went snorkeling in a secluded area that was spectacular! Captain Frank was easy going and an awesome host. Everyone that wanted took a turn at the helm. IRIE was in bristol shape helmed by a friendly, competent sailor. Fun, easy going afternoon!”
“Fantastic experience! We did the afternoon/sunset cruise. Got to see amazing views of the island and sunset, great snorkeling stop, and Frank made us feel right at home the entire time. Highly recommend to anyone visiting and looking for a private experience.”
“We had such a perfect day of sailing aboard Capt. Frank’s beautiful boat! We were blessed with sunshine, no rain, calm seas and some delicious Rum punch! Snorkeling was a highlight for me, the water was heavenly! I would definitely recommend Sailing St Kitts if you want a peaceful and serene experience on the water.”
“We did the sunset sail with snorkeling as a private voyage for our anniversary. Very romantic! The boat is absolutely gorgeous and huge at 46 feet. Capt Frank is awesome and he shared a few stories of his adventures in the Caribbean. (As well as his work as a medical school professor!) He is a very cool guy. This was the best part of our trip to St Kitts. Best to reserve in advance as he books up quickly even in the off season! Do not miss this.”
“My daughter and I booked a private 5 hours sailing on my birthday . We loved it! I couldn’t ask for a more relaxing time. Frank knows what he’s doing and was very helpful. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend this excursion.”

“Spent Mother’s Day with my husband, 23 year old daughter, twin 20 year old sons and Frank Jones, sailing at St Kitts. It was magical. The weather was perfect, the boat was nice, clean and comfortable, the food and drinks were delicious……it was the perfect day. I highly recommend Sailing St Kitts if you want a relaxing day on the water. Frank was a fabulous captain! Snorkeling was fun too.”
“The most spectacular day we could have ever imagined! Frank was an absolute joy and incredibly knowledgeable, we felt comfortable right away. We got a great sail in and even though it rained it made the snorkeling even more of a cooler experience. We got to see tons of fish and even a sea turtle. After the rain ended a beautiful rainbow showed up which made the day even more magical. Franks boat was beautiful, clean and safe. Couldn’t recommend this experience more!”
“We had a great time sailing with Captain Frank on the Irie! Excellent food, beautiful snorkeling, and great company! Thanks again!”

We had a great evening and highly recommend Captain Frank’s sunset cruise experience!”
“My Husband and I booked a private four hour, sunset cruise with Captain Frank and it was perfect! It was so relaxing.

We highly recommend Sailing St. Kitts and will definitely book another trip with Captain Frank when we visit St. Kitts again!”
“We consider ourselves blessed to be on board with Captain Frank. A couple of canadians with beautiful souls invited us to join and we grasped the chance and so glad we did. If there was ever the perfect day this was it XX”
“We sailed as a group of 4 with Capt. Frank on “Irie” March 8th for 5 hours. He communicated extremely well prior to sailing, was friendly and attentive. The sailboat is well maintained and comfortable. He took us to a secluded area for snorkeling (all equipment was supplied). It was beautiful there, the coral is alive. His boat is a 1 min walk outside the cruise ship port. Very easy to get to. We will definitely book with him again the next time we visit St. Kitts. Thank you for a wonderful day, we truly enjoyed ourselves.”
“Frank was very accommodating and professional but also friendly. It was relaxing and the family had an amazing time. Highly recommend this and will be sailing again on the next visit. Parking and locating Frank was easy.”
“An amazing experience, great drinks, great food, the best captain and guide you could ask for!”
“If you visit St Kitts I highly recommend sailing with Captain Frank! We had a large group & he did an amazing job of making us all feel safe at all times. All of our friends & family visiting from the states couldn’t get over how much fun it was. By far one of the best experiences I have had on the island!”

“We (4 of us) went sailing with Captain Frank and had a fantastic time. He was a great communicator prior to booking and leading up to the trip. We sailed for about an hour before reaching a great spot where he provided us snorkel gear to go snorkeling. After snorkeling, we ate our dinner that he catered in from a local restaurant. Afterwards we sailed back to port with the sunset as our back drop. 100% recommend.”
“Frank was fantastic!! We went out with him for four hours today on his 40-plus-foot sailboat and snorkeled on St Kitts. The trip was smooth and easy. Frank did everything he promised and made sure we got all of what we were looking for. He even timed our visit to the reef so that we were the only ones there for the 2 hours we spent there. Frank picked up lunch for us and had a portable speaker for us to bluetooth our music through. It was an easy day and he provided world class service and was not only an excellent host but a great tour guide with all the snorkel gear we needed. Frank let us call all the shots today and he went above and beyond in meeting all of our requests. Frank made sure we were happy customers and did everything in his power to make our day a perfect ten. We had all the privacy we wanted and were not overwhelmed by an overloaded catamaran. We will definitely use Frank again on our next trip to St Kitts. THANKS, FRANK!!!”
“Loved this private sunset cruise! the boat has great amenities and of course the views are stunning. we had a few sun showers and saw a beautiful rainbow! my partner proposed to me on the boat which made it even more special. frank is an excellent captain and host, can’t recommend this enough. thank you frank for an incredible day (and helping us capture the moment). i’ll remember this for life!”

Friendly and knowledgeable, Captain Frank took the time to assure a memorable trip. The boat was perfect…comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. Highly recommend!!”
“Captain Frank took us on his sail boat from Port Zante Marina to an amazing snorkeling spot on the reef near Nevis.
He was attentive, timely, incredibly knowledgeable about the island…all in all, a phenomenal guide. The snorkeling on the reef near Nevis was beautiful. Lunch was from Coconut Grove - and was delicious. I highly recommend the whole experience!”
“Sailed with Captain Frank who was able to schedule us in during the busy season when our son was visiting. He made sure he had the food and gear for us. He responded to all our questions via email quickly. Even though is was a low wind day due to a low pressure system, he sailed part of the time for us. He shared his sailing knowledge freely. Enjoyed snorkeling off his boat as part of our trip. Will sail with Frank again”
“Captain Frank was great! Courteous, knowledgeable and overall great to talk with throughout the voyage! This trip was recommended to us by a relative, and it did not disappoint! Left out of a marina next to Port Zante. About an hour trip to a lovely cove—we did some snorkeling (gear provided and clean) and saw a spotted ray, sea urchin and many tropical fish. The boat was amazing, too (clean, portable speaker included)! We felt very relaxed at the front of the boat on the way to and from the cove, while taking in St Kitts’ beautiful landscape. We would have booked him again during our trip if we had more time! Definitely recommend!”
“Captain Frank’s sailing and snorkeling trip was fantastic! He was very quick to respond in the planning stage and the boat was amazingly beautiful. He knew exactly where we would see the most aquatic life and equipment provided was perfect for us to have an amazing experience. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“A Seafaring Adventure with Frank in St. Kitts: A Private Sail Boat Experience to Remember!!!
We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a private sail boat excursion in the breathtaking waters of St. Kitts, and it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. Captain Frank, our knowledgeable and amiable guide, ensured that every moment aboard his sail boat was filled with adventure, relaxation, and sheer enjoyment.
From the outset, it was evident that Frank’s passion for sailing and deep understanding of the local waters were second to none. His warm welcome and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for what would be an unforgettable journey.
The sail boat itself was a picture of elegance and comfort. Immaculately maintained and well-equipped, it provided the perfect platform for soaking in the stunning panoramas of the Caribbean Sea. Frank’s expert seamanship was evident as he deftly navigated the vessel, allowing us to revel in the sensation of the wind in our hair and the gentle sway of the boat.
One of the highlights of the experience was the opportunity to snorkel in a secluded cove known for its friendly fish!
Throughout the excursion, Frank’s hospitality was exemplary. He catered to our every need, ensuring that we were comfortable and well looked after.
In conclusion, our private sail boat experience with Frank in St. Kitts was nothing short of magical. It offered a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty, all made possible by Frank’s expertise and hospitality. We wholeheartedly recommend this unforgettable experience to anyone seeking a truly exceptional sailing adventure in the Caribbean. Thank you, Captain Frank, for an outstanding day on the water!
Our family will never forget this experience. It’s a life long memory!”
“Everything was on time, on cost, and as advertised. Irie is a beautiful boat and the pairing with Captain Frank made for a fantastic day for me and my family. Highly recommend.”

“Great sail with Captain Frank!! Frank is a great guy. We had a beautiful sail out to Shitten Bay, did some snorkeling, had lunch and some rum punch and sailed back. It was perfect! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful day on the water.”
“We had a perfect day sailing St Kitts with Capt Frank. The boat is ideal, the scenery is beautiful, and Frank is the most gracious host imaginable. As an experienced sailor and charterer, I really appreciate the way Frank allows the guests to preselect food & beverage, swim/snorkeling, etc. All we had to do was step aboard - and enjoy the day. We would 100% recommend.”
“Captain Frank’s sunset cruise is a must when in St. Kitts! First his boat is immaculate and very comfortable. He made my wife and I feel very relaxed with his sailing expertise. But that is not what made the excursion one of our most memorable. Captain Frank was an absolute pleasure to be around for the 4 hour adventure. Lastly but most importantly the views, water, snorkeling and sunset left nothing to be desired! The bluest water all the way to a terrific private snorkeling spot, where we saw all types of fish and stingray! On the return trip you get to watch the clouds and hillsides come alive with color as the sun sets! We will definitely sail with Captain Frank again.”
“This was a 10/10 experience. Frank was quick to respond to any questions I had, and made the whole process very simple. I was able to relax and enjoy my time. Thank you Frank for providing such a nice experience! We really enjoyed our day and would recommend!!”
“Sailing with Captain Frank on his beautiful sailboat is a MUST DO while visiting St. Kitts! The Irie is luxurious, elegant, and extremely comfortable. Captain Frank is an accomplished veteran sailor. He is gracious and kind. Philip and I will absolutely book another adventure with Captain Frank on our next visit to the Island. Thank you for taking such great care of us. I wish that 10 stars was an option!”
“A once in a lifetime experience!!! We had an incredible time. The boat is absolutely gorgeous and the views from the boat were simply breathtaking. We loved our time with Captain Frank who is extremely knowledgeable, kind and hospitable. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking a boat ride during their time in St. Kitts”
“My family of four had a great time. We went for a 3 hour evening sail with snorkeling - so a 4 hour outing with food and a few beers. The snorkeling was easy, and my two boys (8 and 11 years old) had no issues in the water with me. Captain Frank was awesome. He taught us a bit (we’d never been sailing before), and we really enjoyed his calm and soothing personality. He was very easy to talk to. The boat was 1st class. Be careful! It will make you want one of your own! My only regret was not going for a longer sail. We would have been happy to go all day! - Thank you, Frank, for a wonderful time on the water”
“Our day with Capitan Frank was absolutely incredible. Frank is probably one of the most interesting people you will ever meet. His boat is pristine and his knowledge of the island is next level. Lunch was fantastic. Snorkeling was out of this world. I cannot think of one reason why I would not book Capitan Frank for another trip my next time in St. Kitts. I wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars.”
“We had a wonderful day sailing with Capt. Frank. Great wind, great heel. I was able to sail the boat for most of the trip which was an experience of a lifetime. Capt. Frank made me feel like I have been an experienced sailor my entire life. I would definitely book again next time we are in St Kitts.”
“What an awesome way to end our honeymoon! So relaxing after a week of adventure. Captain Frank had dinner and wine for us as we sailed and watched the sunset. On an island full of friendly people, Frank is the friendliest. And I was amazed how he could sail his gorgeous boat singlehandedly. The weather was windy but we still sailed smoothly. We’re so happy with our experience on the Irie. We will be back to see that sunset again!”
“Sailing on “Irie” with captain Frank was the highlight of our stay in St. Kitts. We enjoyed it so much we actually went out twice. The vessel was impeccable and a joy sail. Captain Frank was generous, very accommodating and easy going. We highly recommend including this experience during your stay to St. Kitts.”
“If you are reading reviews trying to decide if you should charter this boat, the answer is yes! Frank is an awesome person and an amazing host. The Sail Boat is large and very nice all around. My wife and I just sailed around all day and into the Sunset. The highlight of our trip to St. Kitts! Just do it!”
“Captain Frank with Sailing St. Kitts provided an amazing day for my family! It was so relaxing and fun. We went to a great snorkeling stop where we saw squid and a lot of colorful fish. He served us lunch and kept our rum punch flowing throughout the day. I highly recommend sailing with Captain Frank while you are in St. Kitts!”
“We spent an amazing afternoon sailing with Captain Frank for our anniversary! The food was great and the sailing was even better! You can relax or take the helm, and I cannot recommend this enough!”
“We booked with Frank outside of our Royal Caribbean cruise for our stop in St Kitts and couldn’t be happier. We had the most beautiful weather and Frank took us to a great snorkeling spot. His boat was perfect for the 6 of us and we loved laying out on the bow up front. I highly recommend skipping excursions offered by your cruise ship and spending your day with Frank. Thanks, Frank!!”
“Captain Frank was fantastic and took us on a wonderful 4hr private sail and snorkel. Watching the sails raise and be taken by the wind was experience in itself. The snorkeling near a shipwreck and chats with Frank were icing on the cake.”
“Had a lovely time with Frank out on the Caribbean. He has a beautiful 46 Ft Dufour and the kindest demeanor, he talked to us about St. Kitts, we enjoyed his company and would highly recommend sailing with Frank! We’ll do it again when we return.”
“My husband, two daughters and I sailed with Frank for a private half-day sail. The gorgeous boat, most beautiful snorkeling stop, and delicious lunch and snacks made for the most memorable day in St. Kitts. We have done many excursions on Caribbean islands, and this was by far our favorite experience. Frank is a such an incredibly genuine, kind and warm person. He truly loves sailing, and it shows. All four of us were beyond impressed, and we left feeling so grateful for this experience. Book this sailing adventure - you will be so glad you did!”
“Our family of four had the best day with Frank sailing on the Irie! This was the highlight of our wonderful trip to St. Kitts! This was our first time sailing (2 adults, 2 kids, 13 and 11) and we all loved it! Frank was so responsive and helpful with setting up the trip and sharing information on the island. We loved how he let us all take turns sailing the Irie. What a memorable experience! The snorkeling was the best we experienced while in St. Kitts. The food and drinks were great. It felt like sailing and spending the day with a friend. Can’t recommend it enough!
”
“Our family group had an awesome time with Capt. Frank . The sailboat was large and comfortable and he makes a great rum punch. He took us to a secluded snorkeling cove . We all like to sail and he “let it run” for us. Highly recommend sailing with Capt. Frank.”
“Amazing trip. Came recommended by the resort and it did not disappoint. Captain Frank was extremely responsive and this was by far the best value of any options we’d seen”

“We had an amazing time with Captain Frank. We enjoyed our birthday celebration. Our daughter loved helping the captain sail the boat. We had a blast. Definitely recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Frank and the time on his boat! It was the highlight of our trip!! We would’ve gone out with him everyday! The entire experience from the sailing, snorkeling and lunch was just a delight! I highly recommend sailing with him on your visit to St.Kitts!”
“We had an incredible time sailing with Captain Frank. Our kids (ages 8 and 6) practiced at the helm, learned about some controls, and snorkeled for their very first time in the most peaceful little cove where we saw a sea turtle, mountain goats and so many beautiful fish. On our way back to port Captain Frank had a book of sea wildlife for our son to look through and identify what he saw. Pulling into the harbor, with the sun setting and the city lights blinking on in front of the mountains, we can only hope to return again!”
“Frank is perfect host and Captain. Our family of 5 with a 22,20, and 14 year old had a fantastic day. We sailed right up on a perfect snorkel spot and saw a wide variety of species and a sea turtle. Beautiful boat and extremely well appointed and comfortable. Frank is a great host and had all the food and drink ready. We came off a cruise and it couldn’t be easier to get there - about 2 blocks off pier. Would highly recommend and we will definitely book again next time in St. Kitts.”
“Sailing with Frank was the highlight of our trip to St. Kitts this winter! We had an absolutely epic sail (verified by an hardy sailing crew) and perfect afternoon snorkel. Frank took care of every detail, was incredibly kind and thoughtful and a true delight to spend the day with. He played with our 4 year old while the rest of us swam, served lunch and let us get our sailing fix in, skippering Irie the entire time. We can’t say enough about Frank and how accommodating he was - we will absolutely be back!”
“What an amazing day! We booked the Irie for a four hour trip and it exceeded expectations. We left from the Port Zante Marina and sailed to a small cove. Most of the group just floated in the inflatables we brought, but I spent most of the time snorkeling, where I saw so much marine life. Frank is a seasoned captain and the boat is beautiful. He was very attentive and made sure we had enough time to get back onto our cruise ship. The grub and drinks were amazing as well!!!”
“My wife and I had a great sailing experience with Frank while in St. Kitts. We met him in the late afternoon and went snorkeling before seeing the sunset while on the water. His boat is beautiful, and it was fun chatting with Frank throughout the trip. He also picked up a food order that we had placed through him to eat while on the boat - was very good! Overall, I think this is a must-do experience while in St. Kitts.”
“Our group had a wonderful experience sailing with Captain Frank. He attended to our every need while guiding us to a beautiful location. He is genuine and fascinating to talk to beyond his sailing. He also had helpful information on the Island and recommendations that added to our wonderful time in St. Kitts. We are so happy we were able to do this, highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing and relaxing day with Frank. He made sure the day was everything we wanted.”
“We had a wonderful sail with Captain Frank aboard his beautiful sailboat. He took wonderful care of us and made sure we worked around the cruise ship excursion times to have a private snorkel and clam waters. He let my kiddos try their hand at the helm, which is a memory we won’t forget! Highly recommend you book with Frank!”
“Our afternoon sail with Captain Frank was the highlight of our trip to St. Kitts. His boat is beautiful and well maintained. We sailed to a snorkeling location accessible only by boat and had the best snorkeling of our vacation. Peaceful and relaxing, it was a spectacular day on the water. Would highly recommend for a special experience on St. Kitts.
”
“We had a great sail with Frank on a very relaxing sunset cruise this week! Beautiful boat and great skipper. Food and drink were excellent! Frank even called a restaurant we were going to the next night to get his favorite table!!
Frank was very responsive to all email requests:). Very friendly and easy to talk to, especially his “ Iowa ties”!”
“My wife and I had a wonderful day with Frank aboard IRIE sailing the wonderful coast of St Kitts/Nevis. IRIE is a very well appointed mono hull that just slides along as one would hope. Frank is a very knowledgeable captain not only in sailing but all things St Kitts. Do not miss this very reasonably price opportunity. Book it!”
“Thanks Frank. We truly enjoyed our sail! This is a tremendous value for anyone who truly enjoys the thrill of sailing. He will also accommodate those that want to snorkel and just chill. Great boat and a great skipper!”
“The boat was amazing, Captain Frank is very hospitable and fun to sail with. Snorkeling is a must add. The food was also amazing! Couldn’t recommend this experience any more. Use anabelallfordable@gmail.com for taxi service to and from the dock too. She’s wonderful!”
“The four of us had a wonderful, private sunset sail with Frank. It was amazing how he managed this beautiful sloop singlehandedly. We went to a private cove for snorkeling and saw a couple of sea turtles while there. The winds were with us the whole evening. One of our best sails ever. Linda, Skip, Phil, Liz”
“My husband and I recently visited St. Kitts in February 2023 and took a sunset sail with Frank at Sailing St. Kitts—this was our favorite part of the entire vacation! Frank was exceptional and we were able to see the beauty of the island, snorkel, sip wine, and watch the sunset. So thankful for these memories!”
“While in St. Kitts on a recent cruise, we enjoyed the day sailing on the Irie with Captain Frank. It was the highlight of our cruise!”
“Frank is the man! Booked a sailing cruise along with a snorkeling stop and we could have not have asked for a better experience. Before the trip, Frank will take your food and drink orders and make sure you have everything you need to have a good time. Not only that but he was able to get us a ride to/from our hotel with his wife. Talk about personalized service! Highly recommend”
“Had a fantastic day sailing with Captain Frank. It was very easy to arrange, and find near the pier. He was very accommodating, and it was a pleasure to have his company. The vessel is beautiful!! Thank you very much!”
“Such a magical afternoon! After a rainy morning, we were blessed by perfect sailing weather. Frank was a wonderful host! He taught my husband how to steer and he was thrilled to man the helm. We were also delighted to have the snorkeling area to ourselves. My husband swam with a ray. I definitely recommend the afternoon sail if you want a unique experience. We had ordered meals and rum punch. The quesadilla and salad from Coconut Grove were tasty and the banana cheesecake was especially yummy. Frank’s rum punch was delicious. Irie is a beautiful boat and we had the sails full on our trip back amidst a splendid sunset. Perfect ending to our vacation. Beware though, it’s contagious. My husband is now talking about sailboats. Lol”
“Great afternoon on IRIE with Captain Frank, a most friendly and accommodating guy. Felt like we were sailing with an old friend. Conditions were perfect for an exhilarating sail. I took the helm and got my sailing fix whilst the remainder of our small group enjoyed the sun, breeze and chatter with the Captain. Leave the cruise crowds behind; take a private trip on IRIE on the beautiful waters of St Kitts and Nevis. Can’t wait to do it again!”
“We had a great experience with Frank - his boat is beautiful and he made us all very comfortable. Very reasonably priced for a great adventure!”
“We had a great time with Frank on a day of sailing. He took care of everything, and next time we’re in St Kitts we’ll 100% do it again. I can’t recommend him and his boat enough!”
“Captain Frank is simply the best! From the very beginning he was very responsive and answered all my questions. We traveled with friends who are avid sailors. Captain Frank let them take over and IRIE was is a wonderful boat to sail! We were able to some great snorkeling thanks to him providing wonderful gear. The day was more than the usual charter, more like a day on the water with a friends. Can’t thank Frank enough for sharing his beautiful boat with us.”
“We sailed with Captain Frank over our honeymoon and it was absolutely fantastic. Booking the trip was quick and easy, and Captain Frank was always very responsive and helpful. The IRIE is BEAUTIFUL and the snorkeling spot was perfect. We even saw a huge spotted ray and two sea turtles!
Don’t book with anyone else! Contact Captain Frank right now, and make sure you get some IRIE punch too!”
“Frank was a rockstar! Very personable, knowledgeable, communicative, and accommodating. I’d recommend to anyone looking to do a reasonably priced private sail. Memorable babymoon sail and snorkel experience for my wife and I! Great snorkel spot, but can customize as you please.”
“We had an AMAZING time with Captain Frank during our sunset cruise. I 100% recommend him and the Irie. You will not be disappointed!”
“My family and I had an amazing day! We sailed conveniently out of the marina at Basseterre where Frank was waiting for us at the entrance. The sail boat is brand new and absolutely beautiful. It took us about an hour to get to the perfect little spot to anchor. The location is lovey and not accessible by car so you get to see a part of the island that you wouldn’t get to otherwise. The conditions were great for snorkeling. And we had lunch from our order as well as drinks. My three year old had a blast and even got to steer the boat on the way back. I highly recommend this fun excursion!”
“Captain Frank gave us the best private charter experience we’ve ever had! Super communicative, flexible and fun. Had a speaker for us to play our own music, helped us select some delicious food and was great company. We will always book him in Saint Kitts!”
“We had a wonderful time sailing with Captain Frank. His sail boat was immaculate and modern. He was accommodating when the cruise changed the port hours, and took us to a great snorkeling spot. Everyone had a great time. I would book him again whenever we get back to St. Kitts.”
“We had a very nice sailing trip with Captain Frank. His boat is very beautiful, spacious, modern and comfortable. Captain Frank is an impressive person himself. He is very skillful and professional at what he does, and he is very interesting and sincere. We had a great time chatting with him during the sail as well. Highly recommend a sail with Captain Frank if you come to visit St Kitts.”
“Captain Frank AKA the most interesting person in the world was an incredible host and captain for one of the most beautiful and relaxing days we’ve ever had. We sailed to a gorgeous cove for lots of swimming and a delicious lunch. I wish I could do this every day. Frank was so knowledgeable and lovely - a really amazing experience. Thank you Frank.”
“We had a wonderful afternoon with Captain Frank on the beautiful Irie. He was gracious and let us all try our hand at sailing- an unexpected bonus. We anchored at Shitten Bay to snorkel and saw some beautiful tropical fish before eating a delicious lunch on board. Frank makes a delicious rum punch and pina coladas too! Thanks for a great experience!”
“This was an amazing find. Found Frank and his beautiful vessel “Irie” and booked a sailing adventure with him. The four of us had a delightful afternoon sailing and enjoying the company of an experienced and impressive sailor, Capt. Frank. If you’ve never experienced the tranquility and peace of gliding through the Caribbean waters on a well equipped and beautiful sail boat, try it. You’ll love it! Thank you Frank, for a wonderful experience!”
“My husband and I had an absolute blast with Captain Frank during our sail and snorkel afternoon! He was delightful and very accommodating. Even through a rain squall, every moment was so great! Sailed us over to a fantastic snorkel spot near the southern peninsula of the island. Would highly recommend booking with Captain Frank!! We had a great time!”
“We absolutely LOVED our sunset sail and snorkeling with Frank! It was our favorite experience while at St. Kitts and was even better than we expected it to be! If you are visiting St. Kitts, sailing with Frank is an absolute must. He is so knowledgeable, funny, easy going, and great to be with. The food and drinks were great too - make sure to get the Rum Punch!”
“Captain Frank is friendly and great at communication. Always responds emails quickly. If you’re looking some relaxing trip and avoid crazy crowd on the party catamaran. Captain Frank is your go to person. He also knows a few good snorkeling spots to explore (with extra charge). He also provides all the gears you need. Will definitely go back if we are visiting St. Kitts again.”
“Came to St Kitts on my honeymoon and reached out to the Park Hyatt (resort we stayed at) for any recommendation for sailing charters on the island. After an extremely easy process emailing, we booked Captain Frank for a 5 hour charter. The sail boat is beautiful and Frank makes driving it look incredibly easy. We stopped at a bay to snorkel by a shipwreck & Frank easily coordinated food and drink on board for us from a local shop nearby. Was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend anyone looking to sail while on the island to use Frank. Frank has an awesome music taste as well!”
“We had the absolute best afternoon sailing with Frank! The boat was gorgeous and Frank had everything we could have needed and more. We couldn’t have imagined a better afternoon sailing, snorkeling, eating/drinking, and relaxing. I highly recommend booking this experience :)”
“Need more stars! An amazing experience! Was a bit unsure due to recent stormy weather but within minutes was totally relaxed and enjoying the calm and peaceful sail. IRIE is an absolutely beautiful boat. We were a party of five and all of us agreed that Captain Frank’s skillful handling, professionalism and calming manner made it the best sailing experience ever! I highly recommend that you just go ahead and book it!”
“Captain Frank was really kindly and professional and the boat was in perfect conditions. For sure You will love it. Also, we were so lucky to sail around thousands of dolphins 🐬 I HIGHLY recommend this experience, it was AMAZING.”
“I emailed Frank one night and asked if he happened to have availability the next evening for a sunset sail, realizing it was last minute. He emailed back so quickly ands said yes! Let me move somethings around for my afternoon and I’ll make it work! He gave us detailed instructions where to meet him, easy peazy. He offered a food and drink menu from a local restaurant and had it all set when we arrived.
You can tell Frank is passionate about what he does and enjoys it. He was so easy going and fun to chat with. The boat was gorgeous. There was just two of us on the sailboat with him and we had plenty of space, and we relaxed the entire sail while he made sure to keep offering us our beer we ordered. Very attentive.
If you want a sail, contact Frank. What an incredibly beautiful experience we had!!”
“My family had wonderful private sail with Frank. He came highly recommended from the Airbnb we stayed at while on Saint Kitts. Frank was a great communicator weeks prior to the sail and answered all of my questions. My family had never been on a sailboat and was unsure what to expect. He clearly and confidently answered all of our questions. And calmed any nerves that we may have had. The sailboat was amazing! We lucked out and got a perfectly calm day to sail on. We added an hour to the sail to go snorkeling. We also added on drinks from the large menu that was provided prior to the sail. If you have kids with you consider getting the Virgin “rum punch.” This way everybody had a special fruity delicious drink. During the sail, Frank also gave us some tips on other places to snorkel and sightsee while on the island. He was a wealth of knowledge and we very much enjoyed our time with him. If you are considering taking a sail with him, book it, you won’t regret it!”
“Captain Frank was extremely accommodating to our last minute request for a sailing trip for our family of 4 with young kiddos. Being able to help steer the boat was a highlight for our girls and we appreciate his patience in answering all of their questions! The experience was a beautiful memory for our family.”
“Captain Frank is the man!! My family and I initially had a booking with a different company that had to cancel our trip, so we needed to rebook on short notice. Captain Frank was able to accommodate us. In the end, we were glad (and very lucky) that we were able to sail with him! He took us on a peaceful and relaxing sail to a shipwreck where we swam and snorkeled. He also allowed us to place food and drink orders ahead of time. Sailing Saint Kitts and Captain Frank are highly recommended! Book with him if you have a chance…you will not regret it.”
“Great experience aboard Irie. Captain Frank is very knowledgeable about sailing to ensure we enjoyed the sailing experience. He explained what to expect, weather and wind impact to sailing. We definitely will be sailing ⛵️ again with Captain Frank.”
“Captain Frank led the best sailing journey and is a must for anyone looking for the ultimate experience. From manning the helm to snorkeling near a reef and shipwreck, my wife and I had an unforgettable time. The boat is immaculate, as are the sights, and is the best excursion when visiting either St.Kitts or Nevis. We will absolutely book again when we return!”
“This was an authentic experience with an experienced sailboat captain. Captain Frank is genuine and knowledgeable - no commercialization here, just a guy and his personal sailboat that he shares with you. He lets the kids “drive” the boat. Did the sunset tour with an extra hour of snorkeling at the shipwreck site and we did not want the experience to end. Don’t miss this golden opportunity.”
“We had an amazing time on a snorkeling and sailing tour with Frank. He was extremely accommodating and made sure we had the best experience and even did a mini sailing lesson. We would highly recommend !!!”
“Frank is the consulate host. Engaging and makes sailing look easy. If you are looking for a sunset cruise, he is the one to hire. He’ll have your food, drink and great conversation on board for you!”
“I have lived in St. Kitts for over a year as a student and this is my favorite thing I have ever done on island! I booked sailing for my family and myself and it was so relaxing and an overall amazing time!”
“Our group of 10 chartered Capt. Frank’s beautiful sailboat when our cruise ship stopped in St. Kitts. The sailboat is kept in a marina that’s a 5-minute walk from the cruise ship docks, so it’s super-convenient. Capt. Frank is very easy-going and was really accommodating with our questions and requests. It was a fantastic day sailing around St. Kitts, stopping to snorkel in the beautiful waters from the boat’s large swim platform, and of course drinking and eating on the boat. We all had a wonderful time. Oh - and the price was very, very reasonable. I would 100% do it all over again, and recommend it to others.”
“Great day sailing with Diane Egan Pete Egan & Birthday boy Clinton - thanks Frank for a fab day and some great sailing tips!!”
“Such an amazing experience and sail! Enjoyed learning about sailing, and a fantastic snorkel - saw so many fish! We soaked in all the sites and views with a relaxing and beautiful sunset!! Captain Frank was beyond accommodating and informative. Hands down, best part of our trip to St Kitts! Must book if you’re visiting here!”

“Thanks Frank. We truly enjoyed our sail! This is a tremendous value for anyone who truly enjoys the thrill of sailing. He will also accommodate those that want to snorkel and just chill. Great boat and a great skipper!”
“Chartered Captain Frank for a few hours of sailing and snorkeling. He was fantastic! Provided the snorkeling equipment, tasty rum punch and local beers. The boat was beautiful, the day relaxing, and Captain Frank was a gracious host. Would absolutely charter his business again the next time we are in St. Kitts.”
“Frank took our family on a wonderful outing! We got to try sailing a bit, had a great time snorkeling and then just relaxed on the way home. Would definitely recommend.”
“What an incredible experience. Frank was professional, laid back, and a phenominal sailboat Captain and host. I took him up on his offer to steer/sail his boat, which was a really great experience. He even laughed at my jokes, which he didn’t have to. About a third of the way through the trip the wind stopped cooperating and died down. No problem, Frank just motored us over to a secluded reef and ship wreck to snorkel and have a good time. We saw turtles, plenty of tropical fish, ate some lunch, had a beer and rum punch and we were on our way back. Such a great day. Thanks, Frank!”
“Our family of 4 had an amazing Sunset Sail with Frank. He was responsive via email, friendly and keeps his boat in top condition. He was also accommodating with the option to have food and beverages. The highlight was the great wind that evening! Our 11 and 12yo boys also enjoyed it, because Frank taught them about the boat, sailing, and let them drive the whole time! We would highly recommend going out with Frank if you are looking to stay away from the other crowded tours. It’s also worth noting we were able to pay using our US credit card.”
“Sailing with Frank at Sailing St Kitts was a true highlight of our trip to the Island! His boat is beautiful and Frank is an expert sailor who not only took us to incredible snorkeling spots, but also let our 16 year old daughter sail the boat the whole time. It was amazing and she got to learn an extraordinary amount from Frank in just one day as he is also a master teacher! He is a professional on every level and his friendly, personable style and knowledgeable approach was impeccable. He completely tailored the experience to what we wanted and the boat is super comfortable, tastefully appointed, relaxing and fun! This is an outstanding experience and we could not recommend Frank and Sailing St Kitts more highly! We can’t wait to go out with him again next time we are on St Kitts. If you want an extraordinary sailing and snorkeling experience, this is the boat for you!”
“Absolutely one of the most enjoyable days we have spent in the Caribbean. Both kids (16 and 18) and parents (older than 16 and 18) had the best day.
To start, the boat was impeccable, and that’s coming from a “boat guy”. We’ve all been on excursions in the Caribbean where the boat was, at best, questionable. THIS IS NOT THAT EXCURSION. Period.
So moving on to the captain, Captain Frank. I did quiz him about his experience and I was more than satisfied. Frank knew as much about sailing as I know about powerboats - maybe more (that hurts me to say) . So I was 100% comfortable. Frank was super engaging and willing to share all that he was doing with you. I begged to help out and he was willing to oblige.
So boat great , captain great … now on to the experience. The standard charter is 3 hours. We did 5. We sailed from the main marina in Basseterre south to a small, secluded bay with a small shipwreck to do a little snorkeling. Along the way Frank had arranged a picnic lunch per our requests (menu on Website) and some of the best rum punch we have had. The sail took about 1:30. After settling in and snorkeling for over an hour ( we saw a stingray, a crab, a flounder, triggerfish, tang and fan, stag horn, and brain coral along with a lot of stuff I don’t even know) we returned to the boat for a sunset return.
Such a nice evening return with a beautiful St Kitts sunset and a glass of champagne as the sun hit the water. Everyone rated this a 10/10. We’d go higher if we could.”
“My wife and I had a most enjoyable sunset cruise aboard “IRIE”. Capt. Frank is an excellent skipper as well as a gentlemen. We can highly recommend a sailing adventure with Capt. Frank. He makes the sail informative with his skill and generous local knowledge. The boat is beautifully maintained and Capt. Frank enthusiastically captures the love of sailing and makes it contagious. He went out of his way to make certain we got many beautiful sunset photos and gave us a unique and memorable experience. Wonderful experience and great value. ”
“Captain Frank was fantastic! This by far was one of the best experiences on the island. Frank is a professional and experienced sail boat captain. Our private charter was calm and relaxing. We took in the sights over to Nevis with a speculator sunset on the return. Our family had a lovely time.”
“Our family of 5 had a fabulous experience sailing with Frank! I have never sailed on a sailboat before (mainly catamarans & power boats) and was a bit intimidated at first. However it was SO much FUN that within a half hour I moved to the front of the boat and fully enjoyed the wind in the sails, crystal clear Caribbean water with a rum punch in my hand! Definitely a high light of our stay on St Kitts! Don’t hesitate to sail with Frank!”
“Sailing on IRIE with captain Frank was a real and exciting experience. We had winds up to 25 knots and IRIE was fun and a pleasure to sail, I recommend anyone who likes boats and sailing to have this experience of sailing on this beautiful 46ft Dufour sailboat.”
“My wife and I had a most enjoyable sunset cruise aboard “IRIE”. Capt. Frank is an excellent skipper as well as a gentlemen. We can highly recommend a sailing adventure with Capt. Frank. He makes the sail informative with his skill and generous local knowledge. The boat is beautifully maintained and Capt. Frank enthusiastically captures the love of sailing and makes it contagious. Wonderful experience and great value”
“We’re a family of four with two kids ages 6 and 9. We went sailing with Captain Frank today and had the best time! Captain Frank made it very easy from booking over email and finally meeting up at the marina. His sailboat is gorgeous and very comfortable, and he is a great host. During our excursion we sailed, relaxed on the water, went snorkeling and had a delicious lunch. My kids enjoyed steering the boat too! We definitely recommend Captain Frank for a day out on the water and can’t wait to do it again!!”
“Amazing day with Frank. The boat is almost brand new (2019) and is in stunning condition for a charter. The captain could not have been any nicer, taking orders from out three year old on when and where to anchor and swim, and making sure everyone was always happy with a drink in hand. He was so laid back, even with our daughter crawling all over everything below deck, we could not have asked for a better day. One of the best day trips we’ve ever done and an amazing vale for that nice of a boat at those prices. Just book, you won’t regret.”
“We had a great sunset cruise with Captain Frank. He did a great job of skirting the spotty rain showers we encountered and we still had a lovely sunset! We loved the small group atmosphere and seeing beautiful St. Kitts from the water!”
“I have sailed with Capt. Frank Jones on three occasions. Whether it’s been a gentle sail simply for fun, or whether I’m asking for sailing instruction, Frank is the epitome of professionalism, good humor, and above all good grace. His boat, the Dufour 46ft Irie, is a fantastically well equipped vessel and is top of the line in it’s class. Sailing with Frank is an absolute pleasure, and I’d recommend his sailing services to anyone visiting St. Kitts and wanting to get out on the ocean.”
“Me and my pals booked a cruise on IRIE while on vacation and had a blast! IRIE is a sleek, cool, and comfortable boat that surpassed my expectations. The captain was hospital, responsive and seemed to be enjoying himself just as much as we were! Never ending beverages and snacks was a huge plus. Definitely would do this again next time on the island!”
“Me and my friends book a cruise while on vacation to St. Kitts and it was by far the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. The captain treated us like royalty and even let us take over the surround sound speakers!! Captain Frank had drinks and snacks ready for us when we arrived and even made sure our drinks we’re always topped off throughout the cruise. He even gave me my first sailing lesson and let me take the “helm” of the boat!! Picture proof that I can drive a sailboat now! Couldn’t recommend this experience more for those who want to have a fun and relaxing time. Thank you Captain Frank”
“Had an amazing evening with my friends sailing with Sailing St. Kitts. Highly recommended experience, so much fun!”
“Best sailing experience in St. Kitts! It was a wonderful and relaxing evening. Had a great time with my friends, highly recommended!”
“My friends and I decided that Sailing St. Kitts would be a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable experience before starting classes again. We had an amazing evening sailing at sunset and even had the opportunity to swim in the ocean. My friends and I had a great time and I would highly recommend and would do this again!”
“I had one of the best birthdays on IRIE with my friends. IRIE is exquisite, elegant, spacious and provides a beautiful sailing environment. I really enjoyed the smooth sailing in the Caribbean Sea, during which we had lunch, drinks and cocktails. Captain Frank was pleasant, attentive, and hospitable. I can’t wait for my kids to visit, so I can have them share this lovely sailing experience. I highly recommend IRIE with Captain Frank.”
“My friends and I had decided that we would have a lazy Sunday. We chose to spend part of the day with Sailing St. Kitts. Best decision ever! It was so calming and relaxing. He gave us the freedom to play music of our choice and let us bring our own refreshments. Both Frank and Lesroy are very competent sailors, working seamlessly together to make sure the ride was comfortable and enjoyable. They are also very responsive and professional. We would definitely do this again, great value for the high quality services provided.”
“Me and my friends celebrated my birthday with Sailing St. Kitts and we had an amazing time. Captain Frank was so professional and responsive to all of our needs we had champagne beer cake and food served to us while we relaxed and enjoyed the sail. He even gave us a lesson and let everyone sail the boat. Amazing experience!! Highly recommended!!!!”
“Only recommendation I would give to anyone looking for a unique, private, exhilarating experience on the water! Did not quite know what to expect, having never been on an excursion like this before; but the entire group of us walked away feeling all bases were covered. Captain Frank is a natural host, extremely knowledgeable and friendly! All previous reviews I’ve read were 100% consistent with our experience! Thanks Captain Frank!”
“I have over 15,000 blue water miles, but still, I was so pleasantly surprised when my family booked Capt Frank and IRIE for my birthday. I had been wanting to get my 3 year old Grandson initiated in some way to sailing, not to mention getting back in the cockpit to read the “telltales” again. Both Frank and the boat were Ship-shape and Bristol fashion and every minute was an exhilarating joy and pleasure. He allowed me to take the helm from start to finish. His demeanor as a Captain is also first class and always supportive, instructive and complimentary. I asked him for a job, right then and there ! I highly recommend Sailing St Kitts to both experienced and novice sailors, as the experience will stay with you forever.”
“Thanks to Captain Frank! We had wonderful time aboard, and can’t wait to go again.. Captain Frank is very patient and all around wonderful teacher... we had lunch and drinks aboard to add to this dreamy experience...highly recommend and look forward to going again soon!”
“My fiancé and I took an afternoon cruise with Frank. He was so friendly and accommodating. He even gave us a quick lesson about some of the basics of sailing. He is a great teacher. The cruise is very romantic and lovely for a couple but would be lots of fun for a group as well.”
“We really enjoyed our afternoon sail. The wind was just right and it felt like we had the whole sea to ourselves. Capt Frank was gracious and kind enough to let our teenage boys take the helm and learn about sailing. All round delightful experience for the whole family!”
“Frank was such a pleasure to work with and made my dad’s birthday sail an experience we will treasure forever! We had a large group and Frank was attentive and accommodating the entire time... even allowing my dad, who sailed years ago, to take the helm and show off for his family. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for the opportunity to sail to work with Frank and Sailing St Kitts. Wonderful experience!”
“Sailing with Capt Frank was a pure delight. The whole experience was great from start to finish. I especially enjoyed being able to take the helm and experience some nice winds. Capt Frank has a pleasant and calm manner which is always a bonus when sailing!”
“I had the opportunity to get my first sailing class with Captain Frank, and it is definitely where you want to start if you are considering sailing. He is very encouraging person, and puts you at the helm from the beginning. I have learnt a lot for a first class, and will definitely come back to learn more.”
“Just do it. If you’ve always been curious about sailing and what it must feel like to move with nothing but the wind, there is no time like the present. The session is immediately hands on and informative. Cap’n Frank is a teacher, and within three hours you will have a feel for helming the boat and a knowledge of basic points of sail and tacking. Once you’ve seen it and felt it, any reading or online study you do about sailing will make so much more sense. My second lesson is coming up and I can’t wait.”
“Frank is AMAZING! We had such a good time doing a sunset cruise while on a girl’s trip. He was so accommodating and let us bring our own cake and decorations. The boat cruise was definitely the highlight of our experience! Would absolutely recommend! :)”
“This was honestly a SUBLIME experience. Frank was an absolutely incredible host — so amazingly accommodating and genuinely invested in us having an wonderful time. We hosted a surprise birthday for a friend on his boat, and it couldn’t have been a more phenomenal experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“The sunset cruise with Frank was such an amazing and memorable experience. We celebrated my best friends 25th birthday and Frank was so accommodating and allowed me to decorate his boat!!! We couldn’t have asked for better weather to sail. It was so picture perfect...popping champagne, listening and dancing to music and ending the day with the most spectacular sunset. Frank is just the sweetest and will make sure you have a great time!”
“Sunset cruise with Frank was a great experience from start to finish. He really went out of his way to ensure our first sailing adventure was a memorable one - all in a relaxed, informative, safe, competent manner. Highly recommended as we had a great time.”
“We had a great time with Captain Frank. He has an easygoing nature, and he was very comfortable with teaching us some sailing techniques, which made the rise more enjoyable for us. We can see he has much experience and is able to deal with any circumstances that may arise, so you will feel confident in your safety with him.”
“My daughter and I had a marvelous sail with Frank. He’s great at conveying his expertise while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. He immediately put us to work sailing the boat. I highly recommended Sailing St Kitts for anyone interested in a cruise or a lesson or both.”
“My husband took me for a sunset cruise on Oct. 27th. It was part lesson, part sightseeing, and all sailing fun. Captain Jones was patient, professional, and entertaining. We enjoyed his company, and hope to see him again sometime.”
“First sailing lesson for my wife’s birthday... Could not have been more impressed with Frank and his boat! Learned so much on our first lesson. My wife and I are hooked and we will be back for lesson #2 very soon. Thank you Frank for such a wonderful experience!”
“What an amazing evening! My husband Frank surprised me with an anniversary sail with Captain Frank and it was fabulous from start to finish. We enjoyed sailing and sipping wine on this beautiful sail boat with Captain Frank at the helm. He was so professional and extremely knowledgeable with every aspect of this dream of a my lifetime to sail on a sailboat. We will come back again and again to enjoy this peaceful adventure and beautiful sunset. Totally relaxing and in love with sailing!”
“Loved it!!”…“We took this excursion as part of a bachelorette party and it was - by far- my favorite part of the weekend.”…“We can all agree this was the highlight of our trip.”…”We had so much fun relaxing, watching the sunset on the water while drinking champagne, enjoying the view, and listening to some music.”…“Captain Frank was so knowledgeable and accommodating and very committed to making sure our party had a great time.”…”I can speak for our party when I say we highly recommend a cruise be added to your agenda.”…”We had a blast! It was such an amazing time!”
“Took the sunset cruise with Frank and enjoyed it with my fiancé. Frank took care of us and took his time, nothing was in a rush. Will be going on another cruise with Frank again. Well worth it.”
“Sailing with Captain Frank is a blast. He is very knowledgeable, his boat is very clean and his calm demeanor really makes the sail both enjoyable and relaxing. My wife and I decided to take lessons to prepare ourselves for a bareboat charter we have planed in the BVI’s. After just a few lessons Frank has us sailing virtually un assisted. We plan to continue our lessons to fine tune our skills. We highly recommend anyone who is considering taking lessons or seeking a relaxing cruise to stop putting it off and contact Frank. You won’t regret it! Only regret my wife and I have is that we didn’t do this sooner!!!”
“Captain Frank is as professional, pleasant, accommodating and most importantly, skilled, as you could ask for in a sailing instructor. He graciously scheduled a private lesson for us in a very narrow window of availability (on our part.) He went far beyond what should be expected to take us out on a particular day just before a major holiday. Captain Frank had both a neophyte and a student with more experience and knowledge, in the same lesson, yet accommodated both seamlessly. The Captain also communicates clearly, prior to the lesson, what you need to bring with you and what will be provided. He also keeps you informed regarding the best hours for sailing based on the weather and he updates you as warranted. The cost of the lesson was more than reasonable for the level of services and the time on the water. We have already made plans to book flights in from New Mexico, specifically to have lessons with Captain Frank again.”
“Take the Sunset Cruise with Captain Frank! You won’t regret it. Perfect for date night, birthdays, anniversaries etc. You choose your menu and alcohol. What could be more perfect?!?? We will be back with friends!”
“Capt. Frank has a perfect disposition and temperament for teaching inexperienced but aspiring sailors like us. He was extremely patient with us, didn’t get mad or yell when we messed up and was clear when directing or explaining things to us. For us, repetition is key to learning and Capt. Frank kept us going over maneuvers time and again until we felt comfortable doing them. A lot was packed in our initial three hour session — so much so that I feel we could take the boat out on our own (in nice weather) and we’d actually be able to make it back to the dock. We’re definitely coming back for more.”
“I booked a cruise for my wife’s birthday, and Captain Frank and his family ensured that our family had beautiful and memorable experience. From the initial communication, Frank was responsive and considerate. He monitored the weather and accommodated a quick change of schedule in order to ensure that we would have optimal weather.
Consistent with his responsiveness by phone and email, Captain Frank was punctual and ready for us when we arrived. IRIE was a beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained vessel. Captain Frank was great with our 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter—even giving our son lessons on how to sail the boat. Capt. Frank was his newest hero (Our daughter was more interested in lounging.). Capt. Frank is easy to talk too, friendly, open, and unobtrusive. We were all at ease and comfortable spending the afternoon with him.
We capped off the evening with a delicious catered meal, while watching the sunset from the sailboat. It was a beautiful, and much-needed break from the day-to-day—a great way to unwind. Highly recommended - can’t wait to do it again!”
“I have taken two private lessons from Frank. On the first I learned a lot; tacking, jibing, sailing to different points of the compass, and heaving to. The lesson was done in a very relaxed manner and very enjoyable. The second lesson was WOW!! Did all of the things I learned in the first lesson but this one was done in winds up to 27mph!!!! Most fun I’ve had with my pants on.”
“My niece and I had a wonderful time sailing for 5 days on the Irie. We were both beginners but by the end of the week felt very comfortable with our sailing skills! Frank is knowledgeable, patient and a great teacher. We learned a lot and worked hard, but our days were easy going, relaxed and FUN!”
“The confidence exuded by Mr. Jones made my first sailing experience both enjoyable and relaxing as I felt sure of his mastery. His reassuring instruction allowed me to sail by myself in a couple of days without fear as I knew he always had my back. This was particularly demonstrated during unexpected harsh storm conditions on the lake in which Mr. Jones acted with professional ease, guiding us back into safe harbor in the worst conditions he has faced. I fully appreciate the quality of Mr. Jones’ instruction and hope to sail with him again next summer.”
