Great day of sailing, snorkeling and fun

Jameson and Jamie were amazing. Our day was way beyond our expectations. Jameson was a great captain and Jamie handled everything else including the all important job of bartender. Family owned business, highly recommended

A Memorable Experience.

A day or evening on the Kekoa should be on your list of things to do while on St. John. We’ve been to Jost and on the sunset cruse. Both were great fun, on a great boat, crewed by accommodating, professional crews. Thank you Jamison...More

Love the Kekoa!

What a magical experience! The food was fresh and delicious, the all women crew experienced and attentive, and the boat itself was beautiful. I loved the feeling of quiet when the water was turned off and the sails went into action. We did the half...More

Really nice day.

Took the full day cruise with very nice crew. 3 snorkeling stops none of which we could have done without the boat. Nice to have good food and open bar but it wasn't a booze cruise by any means. About 30 very nice guests out...More

Hi Beth we are planning a vacation to St John in February and interested in the full-day St John cruise on Kekoa. I had a couple questions that i could not find answers to in the reviews if you had a minute. 1. is a full-day too long. are you burned out by the end of the day? 2. was there enough marine life at the snorkel sites to be interesting? 3. does the boat disembark at any beaches to enjoy any of them? 4. is there anything you would change or do different? thanks in advance and thanks for your review
