Do you want a Catamaran or power boat... For romance I recommend the CAT. Scubadu and Capt. Joe do sunset cruises. We used him for a daysail and he was great...

I've heard good things about Bread On The Water too but they're off-island until Nov. What are your travel dates?

The Wayward Sailor does a sunset sail out of Cruz Bay. Look here:

Captain Phil is a very nice man. The boat is 6 people maximum.

I am not sure if you are in a villa or not, but if you are at Caneel or the Westin, they both operate sunset sails for their guests as well.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

I want to place a second recommendation for The Wayward Sailor. My wife and I went on a Sunset Cruise with Captain Phil for in April. He's a great guy, and the sail was perfect!

We went on a sunset sail on Breath and I really liked it. The crew was great. As for the romance, when we went there was another group as well, but I'm sure if you're willing to charter the boat just for you (which would cost more, I'm sure) then they would probably go for that. From what I understand in my research, any time you just pay the flat rate and go on one of the pre-packaged sunset cruise, you're really taking your chances with your fellow passengers. (Some people have told me their trip was a floating frat party, and others have told me theirs got cancelled at the last minute because there weren't enough bookings.)

Looks like fun. I only see boats with a max of 6. Any suggestions for my party of 8?

Jared is around here somewhere and can correct me if I'm wrong, but I am almost positive that he told me Breath holds up to 18 people (I think that includes crew). Honestly, it would be GREAT for a big group!!!
