I met Josh last November at Ocean Grill. He was waiting tables there and told us all about their business. Really sweet kid! We will have to give them a try next time.

Duh…what are these guys ten years old and they, at this tender young age, already figured out a way HOW to get away from the “RAT RACE” …it took us to realize this DREAM… UH…… at a much older age…..Good for them !!!!!… so freakin’ smart…..but I wonder WHY they picked St John….Boston is AWSOME………maybe not????

To use an over used word…Awesome! Staying with the over used……I hate them…and I’d like to imulate them……of course I’ll have to charter them next time we are in the Virgins, so I can use some more over used words……..Great report guys!

Well, all I can say is that Lion in Da Sun is GREAT!!!!! We put in a request to sail over to Jost Van Dyke and “hang” for the day, and Josh delivered us to our heaven on earth. He’s a great captain, great companion, friendly, funny and just an all around great guy. You cannot go wrong with booking this company. Just let them know what you want and they will go out of their way to make it happen. We’re fans for life!!! Thanks Josh!!! Our day on Jost was simply AMAZING. Very truly yours, Kathleen (and gang).

I and my wife and 2 other couples spent he best day of our vacation with Josh on Lion in Da Sun…
Josh is as nice as they come…and was extremely helpful and went way out his way to make our day trip as memorable as any we have ever had.
My guests all said that they were so glad we booked Lion in Da Sun. Even if Josh is a Boston Red Sox fan.
Oh…and one more thing…
Spiny Caribbean Lobsters are awesome…thats all I am gonna say…Thanks Josh..We will book again …count on it…!!!!
