Review of Sail Winifred

[jodster]

Just want to pass this along for anyone interested in a day sail. My husband and I had the privilege of sailing on the Winifred 11/16. Without a doubt it was the highlight of our cruise. I would do it again in a heart beat. Captain Sharon and her first mate Stephanie (Tommy her regular first mate was on vacation) were so warm and gracious that you felt like you were spending the day with old friends. We left Red Hook Marina right on time (9:30) for our sailing adventure to St. Johns. Captain Sharon took us to some remote keys where we were the only ones there swimming and snorkeling. It was almost surreal....like Gilligan's Island.

 

You are served a wonderful lunch consisting of an entree, salad, bread and dessert as well as unlimited soda's, juice, beer, and rum punch that was out of this world. It is hands down the most relaxing time I have ever experienced. You are in for a treat if you go. If you want a relaxing day away from the crowds to swim, snorkel, sunbathe or just relax then you won't be disappointed.

Thank you very much for your excellent review of the Winifred. We are booked for 12/22, and are very excited about our day with Capt. Sharon. We will be aboard the new Carnival Valor, Christmas at sea. Thanks again, Evan

I'm going to be there in January and am looking for something different to do this time. Does this tour have a website? Any help would be appreciated.

What an incredibly fabulous time.. We had Captain Doug (Sharon had the day off) and Tommy the first mate... and we had an absolutely fabulous time as well! Tommy put himself out for each and everyone of us trying to make the most of our experience! And his rum punch is amazing... two of those and I was one with the deck and the sea!

 

While snorkeling we saw 3 sea turtles glide beneath us... and hundreds of fish! Tommy led us through the waters and pointed out some of the numerous ocean sea life beneath us. He even convinced my reluctant daughter to snorkel with us!

 

It was an incredible day and I would recommend it highly to anyone considering this excursion... It will remain the highlight of this cruise!

Do you recall how much they charge? The information isn't on their website.

$120pp charge or $110pp cash and well worth every penny!

I have booked the Winifred for our March 19th sailing on the Zaandam. Every post I have read says it was the highlight of their cruise. I am glad you felt the same. How did you get to the marina? Was the trip uneventful?

Hi Janice,

 

You can just grab a cab right from the pier. It was easy to do and only took about 20 minutes or so to get to the marina.
