We had such an amazing trip! My 7 year old son and another buddy stayed for two nights. Jo and Loren were so gracious and accommodating, picked us up early, took us to snorkel spots, cooked the most amazing meals and gave great guidance on other things to do and navigating the islands. Can’t wait to repeat!!

BEST STAY EVER

Loren and Jo provided us with a thoroughly unique and enjoyable travel experience. Jo is a wonderful cook and coxswain (she took us ashore every morning and picked us up every evening); and then each night, Loren regaled us with sea stories over a few adult beverages.I highly recommend a stay aboard Sailboat Ragamuffin for anyone who is looking for something different in a Caribbean vacation.

Can’t Beat Ragamuffin!

We had the most incredible time here! Jo and Loren are the nicest hosts, and made us instantly feel like lifelong family. You can’t go wrong staying with them! Fantastic drinks, great food, and amazing company. We snorkeled off the boat to a nearby shipwreck that they suggested. We cannot wait to get back to the USVI and stay with Ragamuffin again!!!

So Fun!

We had a great time with Jo and Loren. Jo cooks AMAZING food and Loren tells many stories of sailing over the years. They were so accommodating when our flight came in early, and took us to snorkel a ship wreck near their boat, and to nearby Honeymoon beach, both of which we loved. Their cats were an added source of joy. Highly recommend staying here. They made us feel like family! We already miss them!

I'd come back just for the crew

The hosts were very flexible and accommodating with my goals for the trip. I wanted to do a night kayak trip (third party) and with the house rules I was concerned the timing would conflict how I'd get back to the boat that night. I didn't end up going on that adventure, but I appreciate they were willing to work with me.

Best food and convo around

What a unique experience! We loved talking to Jo and Loren about their life on the islands. They know all the best snorkel spots and will taxi you around in their dingy. We loved jumping off the boat and seeing their resident barracuda in the water. Breakfast and dinner is included and cooked by Jo. Such delicious meals!! We feel like we just gained some good new friends. This is boat living. You are sleeping on boat cots, no a/c, and a pump to flush the toilet. If you’re looking to stay off the beaten path and are up for an adventure this is the place!

Love our new "Aunt" Jo and "Uncle" Loren!

What a fantastic time we had. I could not have asked for better people to spend time with. Accommodations were great, the time to relax and play was ample, and our CHef Jo was amazing! We have vegans and carnivores, and she always asked and suggested and made it seem like she could cook anything to perfection. Please, even though she will ask and make suggestions for breakfast and dinner, just let her whip up anything she wants because it was always excellent. I am just sad we only did two days. But we will be back!!! I have a 13 and 17-year-old, and they loved the boat and the cats!! It was a unique and wonderfully different adventure, and so happy we picked Jo and Loren to have this adventure with!

A Unique and Beautiful Stay on a Sailboat

My recent stay on a sailboat was nothing short of magical. From the moment I stepped aboard, I knew this was going to be a special experience. The boat itself was beautifully maintained, with a charming and cozy interior that made me feel right at home. The gentle rocking of the boat was incredibly soothing, and I loved waking up to the sound of the water lapping against the hull. One of the highlights was the stunning views from the deck. Whether it was watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine, the scenery was breathtaking. The sunsets in particular were absolutely mesmerizing, painting the sky in hues of pink, orange, and purple. The hosts were wonderful, making sure everything was perfect for my stay. They provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining, and were always available if I needed anything. Despite being on the water, I never felt disconnected thanks to the modern amenities provided, including reliable Wi-Fi and a well-equipped kitchen. What made this experience truly special was the sense of peace and tranquility that comes with staying on the water. It was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If you’re looking for a unique, relaxing, and beautiful place to stay, I highly recommend this sailboat experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Great hosts. Fantastic views. Jo is a terrific cook. Lots of local knowledge. Their sailboat is beautify designed and very cozy. A fantastic place to relax. Their cats, Raga and Muffin willingly share their home too. A swim in the Caribbean is never more than a few steps.
