The catamaran picked us up at 8:40am on 3 July on the beach in front of the Sands, the resort we stay at when we come to TCI (we have been here 10+ times, but have never done a private catamaran sail). We are so glad we took the plunge and set this up with Viator back in April. When we got off the boat at around 1pm my wife and I looked at each other and simultaneously said to each other WOW! We had a simply marvelous time. There were 5 of us on the boat (wife,son and daughter-in-law, and sister). Two crew members… a captain, Captain Willie, and steward, Reggie. They were wonderful. So fun, friendly, and accommodating. Once we pushed off the beach and Reggie had finished the safety briefing the first thing the Captain asked is “any place in particular you want to go”? We basically said “we’re in your hands”so he said we would sail out to the reef and snorkel, take the sails down and motor to two different private beaches, and then put the sail back up and either sail or, depending on the wind, motor-sail back to the Sands. The number one reason we chose this company in the first place is that they said in their marketing literature that they would put up the sails and we would be under sail power as much as possible. We put the main up immediately after getting underway and sailed all the way up to the reef without the motor. It was wonderful. I know how to sail so Captain Willie let me sail some on two of the legs. Probably the only negative I will mention in this entire review is I was hoping they would also raise the headsail too. When I asked Willie if he would raise it he said they had unfortunately torn the headsail the night before on a sunset cruise and had not had time to get it fixed yet. I was a tiny bit disappointed, but I do understand. The trip out to the reef was about 45 minutes. We anchored, Reggie passed out the fins, masks, and snorkels that the boat provided, and we snorkeled for a little over a ½ hour. There were a few other boats out with just, but everybody was spread out so it was no big deal. Reggie went in with us and he pointed out different fish, etc., as we snorkeled around. When we got back on the boat they had put out an amazing array of snacks for us to munch on, and as throughout the trip, there were tons of drink options (both alcoholic and NA) always available. I might as well mention now that all the food was amazing. We asked and Reggie said the company has their own Chef. Let me tell you he or she is awesome. After snorkeling we motored back to land and anchored at the first of two beautiful beaches. We hung out in waste deep water and Reggie took some of us up onto the shoal to see the iguanas that live there. Once back on the boat Reggie has set out the lunch food so we ate grouper, shrimp, conch… really all different types of seafood, along with different salads and vegetables. Way way more than our expectation of sandwiches and chips. While eating lunch we sailed to the next private beach, and once there we hung out in the crystal clear water some more. We were the only people as far as we could see. And then, when we got back on the boat the crew surprised us with Champagne and birthday cake as it was my birthday. So much fun. After that we motor-sailed back to the Sands and ended the day with big hugs all around. BTW we got back to the Sands a little after 1pm. Bottom line… the excursion was just what we were looking for, and Ocean Vibes executed it near flawlessly. We loved it.
The best experience on Ocean vibes boat tour

I wanna give a big shout out to Ross, Erickson and Angello from the Ocean Vibes boat charter!!! These guys were Amazing!!!. Yesterday June 4 2025 I accompanied my son and his classmates who attends the A. Louis Garland Thomas High School. Their amazing 2nd form teacher Mrs. Ferguson organized a summer tour for her students. There were 2 more amazing teachers along with another parent who were also there. Ok the crew member assisted us to board the boat and then after settling down they did an head count of everyone on board. They were very informative and they gave clear instructions on the safety rules of the boat. The captain and the other crew members were so Kool we felt safe and comfortable. The communicated with the kids I would allow my child on that tour by himself anytime. The crew members introduced us to Jojo Famous dolphin 🐬 of Turks and Caicos who for a while swim alongside our boat. Oh lord don't even mention when it was time for snorkeling. The got our attention they told us what to expect and what not to do. There were many of us who can't swim including my son and I but with the confidence that they will give us the adventure of a lifetime I wasn't gonna pass on this.my son and I took a leap of faith and we entered the water to snorkel for the first time and oh boy I thought I was gonna drown but never under Mr. Ross watch he first assisted my son and have him feeling confident that he was now ok and my son did better than I did. But after Mr. Ross came to me he helped me to relax and then told me to look down omg for the first in my life I was looking down at a Shark who was minding his own business and the colourful fishes. He attended to all the kids who were snorkeling and they had a wonderful time aftward we were assist to go back on Board by Mr. Angello who was watching everyone while they snorkeled to see who needed assistance. We had a wonderful time we then went to iguana island where were enjoyed the beach after lunch was served on the boat. And then the worst happened it was to head back to our drop off point. I didn't want this day to end but I'm luck because we live here in Turks and Caicos where booking Oceans vibes tour is just a phone call away. The kids had a great time and big thanks to Mrs. Ferguson for taking me along this was my first boat tour and it was marvelous I enjoyed every moment the service given by these 3 gentle men was highly appreciated so if your not from Turks and Caicos and you want to book your half day boat tour and more Oceans vibes has the vibes you will never forget... Thank you guys keep up the good customer service untill we book again which is soon....yah man!!!

My family took the 4 hour catamaran cruise last week during our stay in Providenciales. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We were staying in a VRBO and drove ten minutes to Grace Bay Beach and were picked up in front of a resort. They do offer direct pickup from the beach on many resorts on Grace Bay however, but the pickup is just as easy if you are staying in a rental house. We took the afternoon tour and sailed with Captain Willie and Reggie, both of the crew were extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great time on the cruise. We were taken to a beautiful snorkeling spot and snorkeled for about 45 minutes. All gear is provided and you need not worry about anything gear wise. The snorkel was amazing and (weather dependent) beginner friendly. The reef was beautiful and there was much marine life to see. After the snorkel, we were provided a sandwich lunch with delicious fresh fruit and an open bar for the adults wanting to have an extra good time. We then deboarded at Half Moon Bay and taken on a short walk through the brush to feed and observe iguanas, we saw about 10 in total and they are so cute. This tour is definitely worth the money if you want to participate in the snorkeling and short iguana trek. There are also options to stay on the boat and hang out on the beach at Half Moon if you are not physically able to partake in the activities or have small children but still want to be with your family. The boat was in great condition and very clean. The sights and views are beautiful and everyone involved made the tour worth the ticket price. A must-do tour if you are staying on Grace Bay!!
Best day in Turks
