LLEWELLYN’S CHARTER, INC.

Friendly Captain gteat sailing experience.

My husband and I wanted to do a sail and snorkel trip to Buck Island while we were here for our 25th wedding anniversary. After reading up in all of the available options, we decided we really liked what Llewelyn offered: a sail to the island on a true sailboat with skilled sailors and a small group experience. We are not sailors at all but admirers of skilled sailors and we enjoy watching them in action! We called Llewelyn and left a message and he called back promptly and explained that he is not presently doing the sail himself but he said he could arrange for another sailor to do the trip for us using Llewellyn’s boat. And he did just that! Thursday of this past week, we sailed on the Charis with Chris and David. We had a wonderful time and it wound up being just the two of us on the trip. Chris and David were very friendly and knowledgeable about all things St. Croix, and were happy to share their knowledge. It was wonderful to watch them sail and so much fun to see how much...

My family has been sailing to Buck Island with Llewelyn since 1974. I was 6 years old, so 47 years and counting! (We’ll be back to St. Croix in June 2020). He taught all of us how to snorkel. Three generations! He is incredibly skilled at sailing- best on the island. In the 70’s and 80’s, the captains would all race each other to Buck Island. He always gave them a head start but beat them anyway! In 2018, we went out with him for my 50th birthday and he taught some friends how to snorkel. Dave was great too! Very friendly and led us on our snorkel adventure. For years, we would go hear Llewelyn sing too! Calypso. At the Beach Hotel (now the Divi Divi), he and his band would play at Christmas. My sister and I would go up to him on stage and ask him to sing Feliz Navidad or Three Little Birds by Bob Marley. To sail with Llewelyn is truly a treasure. He knows everything about the island, everything about snorkeling, fishing and Buck Island! I caught my first tuna and barracuda ...
