This is our thirteenth consecutive year vacationing in St. John. We wanted to do something special for my birthday this year and made arrangements with two couples we've known... read more from years ago camping in Cinnamon Bay to join us on BJ Harris’ gorgeous Constellation sailboat. Our cruise was postponed due to rough waters and high winds. We were grateful for Captain BJ's judgement and experience, keeping us safe and rebooking us. We boarded at the private boat dock just east of the Westin beach. The winds were just right, the breeze keeping us cool and refreshed and moving along well. Crew members Robert and Dave knew just how to keep things smooth. We enjoyed painkillers, beers, cheese, fruit and crackers as we sailed along through the sound. It was a real pleasure. The boat is a 50 year-old, completely overhauled and refurbished and has quite a history that you’ll want to ask about as you sail along.
She also offers full day and half day sails with snorkeling options. My belated birthday celebration was exceptional this year. Thank you, Capt. BJ

The Colorful History of Constellation
“B. J. Harris has been a licensed Master Mariner for decades. She has logged tens of thousands of miles on boats of all sizes, including an eighty foot classic John Alden ocean racer, an engineless fifty-two foot Sam Crocker classic cutter, and a powerful sixty foot Gulf Star. Her love of the sea is apparent at her St. John Properties’ real estate office–filled with photos and models of classic racing yachts, and at her rental home, Captain’s View–filled with photos of new and old classic yachts, ships lights, sextant and other nautical gear.
Being the proud ‘caretaker’ of a Swan, one of the finest yachts built and a boat described as both beautiful and powerful, has been one of B. J.’s fondest dreams for many years. The joy and dedication she brings to Constellation will be evident to all who see them together–truly a match made in heaven.
