Captain Phil Chalker has 25 years of experience sailing these Caribbean waters, including many years as captain of the Calypso Queen, a glass bottomed boat that gave narrated tours of the reefs of St John. He now sails the Wayward Sailor, a 30 foot sloop that departs from Cruz Bay with 2 - 6 passengers. Captain Phil is a very patient captain and snorkeling instructor and takes great pleasure in introducing the wonders of the reef to beginners.
