A Relaxed, Romantic Evening
wyattr418, August 2026
We had a wonderful time! I came with my wife on our honeymoon near the end of our trip. The pickup was easy at the pier and the instructions were clear. We loved sailing and learning a bit of the history and the boat sailed down to the Sandy Point corner of the island, which we enjoyed because it was closed during our trip. The music was a great vibe and Gyasi was a very skilled performer. We loved the experience! It was a relaxed, romantic evening for the two of us.

Another great sunset sail
Daniel C, August 2026
This has been become a bit of a tradition with every trip to St. Croix. We've done the sunset sail 4 or 5 times and each time it's been fantastic!
The captain and crew are always welcoming. The sail takes you down the coast toward Sandy's Point at a very leisurely pace, then back. The musician was a jazz guitarist/singer with a cool and relaxed island vibe. The rum punch is unlimited and the breezes cool. Definitely recommended!

The Best Sunset Experience in St.Croix
L132QHsarahh, August 2026
We did the sunset sail with Lyric Sails while visiting St. Croix, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made everyone feel welcome. They were energetic, funny, and easy to talk to. It felt more like spending an evening with friends than being on a tour. The captain was smiling and vibing the entire time, and you could tell the crew genuinely loves what they do.
The live music by Mekiel Rueben on the saxophone was phenomenal. Listening to him play while sailing into the sunset created one of those moments you’ll never forget.
I also loved that the boat wasn’t overcrowded. The other guests were friendly and relaxed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Along the way, we saw sea turtles, dolphins, and even countless nesting turtle tracks covering the untouched Sandy Point beach. Seeing such a pristine shoreline from the water was incredible.
And the sunset… absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect ending to an amazing evening.
If you’re visiting St. Croix, I can’t recommend Lyric Sails enough. It was worth every penny and easily one of the best experiences we’ve had on the island. We already can’t wait to come back for another sail!
