Guiding Light 41.00ft/12.00m

We had an incredible experience aboard the Guiding Light filled with quality stories, snorkeling, and drinks. The Virgin Islands would not have been the same without our phenomenal and knowledgeable guide, Captain Shane! Hope to see you again soon. - Morgan, Linus, Nick, Zack, and Leo

Thank you for the experience aboard Guiding Light. The highlights of our trip were eating on Lily Pad, seeing sea animals, riding a dinghy and relaxing on the trampoline. Thanks for the challenge puzzle and the local knowledge. We enjoyed the drink of the day. Here’s to the next trip.
PS – The girls “loved” the food and the desserts.
PSS – The games were great.

Oh “2020” – COVID! After the quarantines, disruptions, work from home & virtual learning we were fortunate enough to spend Christmas w/ Captain Shane! St John, snorkeling, beaches, drinks of the day were only topped by our captains loving personality – throwing everyone overboard, wrestling on the mat, watching Christmas movies & playing board games. Thank you for such a memorable week!
- Danny, Alanna, Maggie (11), Thomas (9), Gabriel (6), and Matthew (3)

One of the best trips the Wilsons have ever had! Snorkeling and hiking were some of the best views!!! Thank you for everything and all the stories! See ya again soon!!!
- Jericho & Rebecca and Bryan & Erin

Thank you Shane, this was a memorable trip! It was amazing to visit all these new places and get to know their culture a bit. The sailing in between was spectacular! We loved the colorful snorkel spots as well as the turtles! And you fed us well with your chef skills! Thank you for being an exceptional captain. We had an outstanding time on the famous Guiding Light!!!
- Jose, Susy, Max, Isaac, Simy, & Noa

A warm and heartfelt “Thank you” to our wonderful host. Shane made sure all of our needs and wants were met and then some! We especially enjoyed the sailing, snorkeling, and exploring. And the drink of the day is not to be missed! We will take with us all the lovely Caribbean memories!
- Fred, Jennifer & Monte

Thank you for making the last week of my birthday month fantastic! We enjoyed all our excursions, thanks to your very special guidance, especially the “off the path” tour of the Baths and snorkeling at the Indians.

Captain Shane is the bomb! Even though he almost killed us in the Baths. The drink of the day was always a great part of the day. So was “burying the turn” of the day. Wish the best for the captain in his future travels! – TK & Sherri

This vacation will be hard to top! Thank you for a relaxing, yet adventurous week at sea. Loved snorkeling (Christmas Cove was our favorite), paddle boarding, kayaking, and rock exploring. Also, really enjoyed fresh bread daily, yum! – Kyla & Kyle

Amazing trip! Thanks for pushing us out of our comfort zone. You are an excellent chef and even better bartender! Favorite part was all our daily adventures. Good luck in all your future travels! – Kerie & JJ

Thanks for a great time on the Guiding Light! – Jeremy & Jodi

Thank you for a great week! We loved the secluded beach at Caneel Bay, swimming with rays and turtles at Newfound Bay, and the “hike” to the petroglyphs! We enjoyed learning some new games and almost winning. I looked forward to the drink of the day every day at 5:00! This was our first time on a sailing vacay and it did not disappoint! Thanks again. – Todd & Loni

What a great way to start the new year! Our first time doing this but not the last. Capt Shane took great care of us. Outstanding tour guide, chef, and cocktailer. He does a great can opener off the top deck of Willy T’s, but he can’t do a flip ☹.
Thanks again, Shane! – Phil, Angela, Jake, & Sarah

Fantastic week in the Caribbean! So many once in a lifetime adventures b/c of Shane’s guidance! Wow! Shane made this trip one we’ll never forget. Hospitality, patience, lots of stories, & yummy drinks of the day. Definitely exceeded our expectations! We’ll be back for sure! – Chad & Melissa

What a wonderful time I had in the Caribbean! Our captain was #1 at all times. I wouldn’t of made it on some of our tours without him, especially getting in the window out of the rain. Your meals were fantastic. So many good stories & drinks of the day. If anyone is looking for a fantastic trip, book with him. Loved the homemade bread. Thanks again. – Grandma Kay

Wow! We can’t thank you enough for our unforgettable trip! The snorkeling, hiking through the Baths, drinks of the day, and great food will be hard to beat. Thank you for everything. Love – Jake and Allie

We had an amazing time! We truly enjoyed all of the adventures with the highlights being the Baths, snorkeling, and Anegada. We loved the food on board as well as dinners out and dance bars! The sailing was incredible, and we loved being here with our best friends, Chris & Alexa. Wish you the best of luck in the future Shane. Love – Carrie & Brian (not the fat guy!)

Fantastic sailing trip with awesome friends. We came with an openness to adventure & left with so many incredible memories and a few scraps and bruises. Lots of love for the islands. Thanks, Shane, for keeping us safe & showing us the beauty of the BVI. – Chris & Alexa

Thank you Captain Shane for a wonderful week aboard the Guiding Light. We enjoyed exploring Grenada – chocolate factory, rum factory, discovering new fruits with Cutty, snorkeling the underwater sculptures, and witnessing a leatherback turtle lay eggs! What an amazing week! Thank you for your hospitality and delicious meals too. Every aspect of the trip was spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it again!

Best Wishes!
The MXXXX family

Shane,
What a great family vacation! We especially enjoyed the drinks each night and delicious dinners. You homemade bread was also so tasty. Thanks for showing us so many must see sites. Your boat was just an amazing home away from home.

Thanks again.
– JD, Ruth, Damyn, Chelsea, Lindsey, & Everett

Shane & Melek, What a fabulous week on the Guiding Light. We have never experienced so much fun on the water – especially exploring the wonders of the Atlantic Ocean. We greatly enjoyed all the fine dining as well as “of course” the Drink of the Day amongst our “favorite adventure of the day” conversations. Thank you so much for your generous hospitality. We would love to experience this adventure once again in the near future!
Much love, - Dan, Diana, Jake, & Alexandra

We had a great week on the Guiding Light with Shane and Melek. Thank you both for being such wonderful host. We loved the Drink of the Day and discussing our daily favorites. The best part for us was spending the week with Dan, Di, Jake, & Ally. As for the experience, it could not have been better. For me the best part was when we were under sail. I loved the sail to Anegada, it was absolutely gorgeous. For Tim, his favorites were scuba diving with Dan & Jake and eating lobster on Anegada at Neptune’s Treasure.
– Tim & Ruth

Shane & Melek, Thanks for everything (heart). The food was DELICIOUS especially the desserts. Thanks for always being nice to all of us, thanks for the amazing experiences, everything was really fun all the time. Thanks for showing us our new favorite game, we are never going to stop playing SPICES. I’m not sure if I’m going to go back in the future, but if I do is going to be with you guys (heart). Thanks for giving me my best graduation present ever and the best first drinks in my life and for my 18th year. PS – The fire coral was amazing 😊 – it wasn’t really at all, thanks for the vinegar. With Love – Juanita

Shane & Melek, I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing trip (even though Shane almost killed me in the Baths). Anyways I wish you guys the best of luck! – McKinna

Thanks Guiding Light for letting me be in you for 9 days. Thanks Shane & Melek for being so nice with me. Gracias. – Juan

Again, what a wonderful time aboard the Guiding Light! We loved it all. Thanks for the memories. – Juan & KT

I’m w/ them. Thanks for the trip. 😊 – Irie

We had a wonderful week full of sun, wind, nad some rain. The food was great and the company was terrific! We saw many pretty sights and met some very nice natives. We really enjoyed the games, especially “Spice”. We will remember this trip very fondly and speak about the great time we had! Thank you both for the wonderful memories! God Bless. – Mike, Steina, Bry

Wow. What a week. This has by far been the best trip in my 43 years of living. We travel every January for Amy’s birthday & you’ve made this one so memorable. The Baths x2 gave me the insight that I need to workout when I return home & playing “Spices” taught me to be more aware of my surroundings 😊. Discussing life with Mel put a smile on my face. The Guiding Light will be referred to others & talked about forever in the future.
Shane, you ROCK!!! (Sorry about your toes 😊)
– Stacy G. (aka The Other One)

This has been an amazing trip! Cannot wait to come back and do it again…after I work on my stamina, upper body strength, and “Spice Game”. Thank you so much for making this trip wonderful.
– Melissa C. (aka The Responsible One)

Thank you, Shane, for having us. I thought we might be too much for you at first, but you made it through. I loved the Baths and going out of our comfort zone. (I’m going to get a tetanus booster tomorrow 😊) Thank you for the birthday cake. I truly was surprised! This has been a wonderful week with many memories and laughs! #angelfish #Patrick’s Rock #Guiding Light Shut Foxy’s Down 😊 I hope you and Melek had as great of a week as we did. We love Spices.
Take care, safe sailing, & hope to do this again. God Bless.
– Amy W.

Thank you for a joyful sail and experience on the Guiding Light. Happy New Year! I love the BVI. Snorkel and a lot of sunshine! See ya downwind! Full Moon Party!!
– Mark & Peggy

Thanks for a great voyage, snorkeling, hiking, bouldering Baths, great dinner & desserts, and much more. Us Montana folks enjoyed!
– Tim & Bev

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip on the Guiding Light. You made our trip very comfortable and enjoyable touring us around the BVI Islands. All the best to both of you in 2018 and beyond. Happy New Year!
– Jo & Shane

Shane, Thank you for showing us the wonders of the Baths! I had a blast arguing with you over the various nuances of life. I hope our little group left a lasting impression, as we will never forget you! Peace out. – Jack (age 17)

I second Jack’s sentiments. Thanks for the delicious meals and the drinks of the day. A great way to celebrate all the graduations in our family! The depths and shallows of the BVI will never be the same having been navigated by the Johnsons w/ Capt Shane. Everything was meticulously planned and timed perfectly. Thanks for the memorable trip and kindness. – KJ, Luara, Julia, Jack, David, and Sarah (the sunburned angel)

Thank you Captain Shane for stretching us and making it one of our best trips ever! We were impressed by the meals you served and shared with us your life experience and difficulties! May the Lord be your Guiding Light as you continue in lifes vast ocean! We are greatful for the memories we have made with you!
Gods Blessings!
Dave & Becky and Perry & Sherry

Our last week aboard the Guiding Light far exceeded our expectations, thanks to Shane. Shane quickly built relationships with Trevor (15) and Miranda (19) and we all enjoyed Shane's sense of humor, knowledge of the Virgin Islands and different marine life, and his cooking! He pushed us out of our comfort zone and we had an absolute blast all week. Hopefully Trevor shut the fan off when we left! J Thanks for making this a trip of a lifetime connecting as a family was our goal and it was a great success! Looking forward to our next adventure!
-Colleen

Thanks for the best trip ever and helping me fulfill my lifelong dream of swimming with sea turtles. And thanks for using my pictures for Pictures of the Day! We will be back very soon!
-Miranda

Thank you Shane for this great trip. All your jokes and comments mad it that much more enjoyable. All the snorkeling spots and rock jumps were a lot of fun. I also liked that I got to touch that seas turtle. This time I turned my fan off J. Hopefully we will be back aboard the Guiding Light soon. Thanks for a fun time!
-Trevor

A big thanks to Shane for an amazing week of adventure in the BVI. Plenty of great snorkeling and islands to hit and party on. Had a couple of movie nights which were great. Thanks for a great week.

-Rock Star (Eric)

-Jan & Shawn

Shane, you truly helped to make this special trip the trip of a lifetime. You managed to find all the private, quite spots we sought and to bring us the information, history, and variety to it all. What an amazing adventure! Highlights include Sandy Cay, Monkey Point, and Buck Island. Awesome! All of it was awesome. Thank you so much. We hope to see you and the VI again soon!
-Kendall & Dave

Thank you for another great adventure. You made St John sail and snorkel better than 35 years in the BVI. You know the most colorful, fish busy, comfortable anchorages. Guiding Light is a delightful sailing cat, especially in 25 knots and 5-8 foot seas.
-Barbara

Here's to the snorkeling, sailing, and all those yummy gluten, dairy, seed free meals. Thanks for going the extra mile throughout the trip
-Kitty

Wow, great time! Thanks for everything especially the great food and fantastic snorkeling. And for being so understanding about the rock in the sink!!! It was loads of fun & I especially enjoyed "sailing" the boat!!

-Conni

Thank you for a wonderful trip celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Your bread, dinners on the boat, and the drinks of the day were fantastic.

You are an Awesome captain!!

Thank Capt Shane for an amazing 6 days cruising the Spanish VI. This has been an awesome first time for Matthew & me. Bob truely enjoyed learning more about sailing a cat, his future dream. The "Drink of the Day" was always delicious, as was the cruisine. Matthew of course has enjoyed the Pirate Room and the new noise/sound maker toy. Matthew says his favorite part of the trip is when Capt Shane touched the sting rays tail! OF COURSE! I know that he also enjoyed seeing & swimming with the turtles. He will never forget the movie Castaway and Wilson! Every time he sees a coconut he will remember. We all enjoyed your fresh bread, and the delicious chocolate surprise! The cherry pastry was a close second. The fish was all delicious, thank you! We look forward to returning & sailing again. Hopefully on the Guiding Light. Looking forward to watching the Super Bowl. Go Broncos!!
-Rachel, Bob, and Matthew
