Detailed itinerary

Travel independently via taxi or driving to the Marriott Frenchman's Cove, timing your journey to arrive by 5:00pm where you will check in with The VI Cat's Crew on the DOCK.

Guests can park for free in the large, flat gravel parking lot on the right hand side after the security gate. From there, follow signs that say "public access to the beach". The large wooden dock is off of the beach, next to the pool.

Then, admire 'The Cat', our 54-foot (16-meter), US Coast Guard certified, sleek sailing catamaran that will take you on your 2-hour harbor lights dinner sail.

Once you meet your Captain and Crew, step aboard and find a comfortable spot to relax on deck. Watch as the sails are raised and absorb the views as The Cat sails into the open sea where you will dine on a delicious BBQ dinner prepared by The Cat's own caterer. Be sure to watch as the lights of Charlotte Amalie come to life. Keep an eye out for any cruise ships or yachts that may pass by while sailing around the Harbour of Charlotte Amalie.

After dinner, absorb the views and breezes, maybe even enjoy a little dancing while you cruise back to the Marriott's Frenchman's Cove, where your 2-hour trip concludes. Don't forget to tip your crew!
