Each time I've been to St. John, my friends and I have taken a boat tour. It has always been one of our best memories. This past time, we went out with Captain Rick and he was awesome! He cracked us up with his jokes and his knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. I can't recommend Lion in Da Sun... More

We are just back from 6 lovely days in St. John. Our day with Rick was definitely the highlight of our vacation. He was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us a great tour to begin the day. We had a few "must do" activities in mind for the day, but other than that we were very open to... More

After hopping off the Norwegian Gem, my family stepped aboard Lion In Da Sun for the second time in 2 years. Capt. Rick took us to amazing destinations while accommodating my 77 year old grandmother at the same time! We were able to go to all of our desired destinations and more in one day! We could not of had...

We loved the islands, the info, and all the insight Captain Rick provided. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but he did seem to have a comment or jab for everything we said (hence the average rating). It made our group a little uncomfortable, and we are very laid back. Just a forewarning for anyone that is looking... More

We went out on Lion in da Sun last week. Captain Rick was really fun and super knowledgable about the islands. His center console Scout boat is beautiful and is very roomy with a ride. We left from St. John and he took us up the North Shore stopping at all the bays. He showed us the plane wreck at... More

We had a great time with Capt Rick. He certainly knows his islands. I'm not a good judge of whether his price is competitive with others with the same service and, if returning, I would do more research. He was recommended by a friend who visits St John quite frequently. We were not disappointed - just not blown away. Perhaps... More

We have visited St. John several times and done local trips around the island. This time we wanted to see some of the BVI's. We were fortunate to charter a trip on Lion In Da Sun. Captain Rick was a wonderful tour guide. We visited/snorkeled the Indians and Caves on Norman Island, and had an excellent lunch at Pirate's Bight.... More

Capt Rick was great. We had a challenging group ranging from 10-70 years old and he managed to find fun for everyone. Some history, snorkeling, great lunch, "deserted island", and a few pain killers. Highly recommend this very personalized charter.

My third time aboard Lion in da Sun was just as good, if not better, that than the previous trips. You can always count on Capt. Rick to regale you with fascinating stories (believe at your own risk). He is a responsible, safety-conscious, knowledgeable and entertaining captain. The boat is comfortable (and cute!). As a hotel concierge on St. Thomas,... More
