Horseback riding/charter for large group/grocery store ?s

Hi all. Few questions for you.

1. Is there another horseback riding co on St. John aside from Carolina Corral? It gets less than positive reviews. I have never seen anyone riding there before so I am guessing its not a hugely popular activity on the island. Plus there doesn't seem like a whole lot of places to ride.

2. Are there any private boat charters that take 15 people out for a BVI excursion for example? I know the max on most boats is half that number.

3. Which grocery store is the closest to Catherineburg/Island Stones?

Thanks!

I know that Rick G like Carolina Coral and uses them often. They are the only horseback riding company on island.

Motor Yacht Cinnamon Bay can take large groups

The closest store would be any of the stores in Cruz Bay.

Two years ago, we chartered Motor Yacht Cinnamon Bay for a day. Awesome historic, classy boat (lots of polished teak and brass) with plenty of room to spread out. I have raved about the experience before, PM me if you like.

I think, but double-check me, that they can take 26 people. It was our favorite charter to date (and we go every year) and I hope to use them again in February.

I think RickG's girls like to ride on STJ, might want to drop him a PM.

Hey Kristen

Call me re your charter - yes there are a few that can accommodate you

Cinnamon Bay was sold about 2 months ago and is currently not chartering but the new owners do intend to sometime in the future.

Cruz Bay is the closest for grocery stores

Depending on when your traveling you can check out Bad Kitty. We had a group of 18 and it was an absolute blast. Pia hooked up the trip for us.

Oh I forgot to add (for you also Barb Y and other forumites who have booked through me) as a repeat customer a discount is offered when booking through my company

Good to know. I remember the former owners talking about their future plans when we chartered and then a while back I heard the pending sale mentioned on the TTOL.

I am on the fence about a boat trip this year. If we go, I will definately contact you.
