This team really knows service!! Our crew was fantastic & really made sure we all had a wonderful time. They knew history of island & we’re very personable…good jokes & lots of laughs! They were very knowledgeable about the best spots for snorkeling. The food was very delicious & plenty of variety. The bar was fully stocked with a keep the rounds coming smiles. The catamaran is beautiful & very comfy for sitting on deck, snorkel launch, bathrooms & dining. If you want better than best with a smaller group, book with this crew!!

Another wonderful 5 hours with Calabaza on a recent holiday in Barbados, our 3rd in 3 years. Once again, a real highlight. Exceptional service from Captain Sam, Kiam and Michael. Wonderful drinks, canapés and buffet lunch. This cruise is highly recommended. Thank you Team Calabaza. See you next year.

This trip was extremely well organised, and the crew were attentive throughout. The boat was spotless and the food was excellent. While the snorkelling spots were busy with multiple boats, the cruise itself and the lunch were lovely. This boat also felt less crowded than others, which made for a particularly pleasant experience.

An excellent morning trip, thanks to Ben and crew for looking after us all so well and making sure we had the best snorkeling experience. We enjoyed delicious food and plenty of drinks throughout the trip. We chose Calabaza nine years ago and so pleased we were able to repeat our great experience again. Thanks!

We had a really memorable and enjoyable 5 hour trip. Very relaxed vibe. Predominantly middle aged group. Great and plentiful food and drink. Snorkeling with turtles and around a shipwreck. Anchored off Sandy Lane beach for lunch. Captain Ben and his two man crew were fabulous. Thoroughly recommend.

One of the best trips I have done. Been on quite a few boat trips and this is by far the best. I could not recommend this trip highly enough. Crew were superb and kept the food and drink flowing. Swimming with the turtles will stay with me for a long time. If I am every back that way it will be the first thing booked

My husband and I have been on Calabaza before and this time we brought our 2 adult children and their spouses. We had perfect weather and sailed immediately after leaving port. The crew were outstanding and the snorkeling was beautiful. Lunch was amazing as well. There was only 13 of us in total aboard with 3 crew members. We cannot say enough positive things about our day. Would HIGHLY recommend this day tour to anyone

Captain Ben & crew James & Tony were fantastic & completed the experience beyond our expectations! It was a beautiful day, and while my main focus was great snorkeling, it was surpassed by phenomenal service, food & over all great people running the boat. If you’re looking for superb snorkeling, I don’t know that this would be the best for it, as it hit the same areas as the cruise ship excursions. But still giving it a 5 star as the crew made up for it the entire day!
