Great day out

5.00Great day out - beautiful boat and a wonderful crew, Ben, Capi and Mike. The snorkelling was spectacular, the kids had a great time. The snacks / food were a real bonus - high quality all round. Highly recommend it. The sunset at the end of the trip topped the day off perfectly.
The VERY BEST cruise option

5.00The BEST cruise option in Barbados, hands down! Great sized boat limited to 12 guests so you get more room and aren’t part of a herd. The bar is more fully stocked than most of these cruises and the food is delicious – if you do the sunset cruise, you can make this your dinner. Beyond that, the crew is the friendliest in an island known for friendly people. They love to laugh and joke with you and TIME spent on calabaza is just such a relaxing and fun time. I booked them once a month for the three months I’m in Barbados and all of my guests routinely say it is one of the highlights of their time on the island. On this most recent trip, I took a couple who have lived in Barbados for the last 40 years, but hadn’t done one of these for a decade and afterwards said it was one of the most wonderful afternoons since sunset evenings they had had in a long time.
Making memories with Calabaza

5.00Fabulous trip from start to finish. The crew were friendly, fun and were never slow to offer delicious food and drinks. The boat was immaculate and the small number of people on board made it more personal. The sunset as we sailed back made for some unforgettable memories to take back to the UK. A memorable trip. Thank you

5.00We take the sunset cruise on Calabaza every year and have never been disappointed. They take no more than 12 guests, the food is delicious and continual, the crew are friendly, informative and so wonderful - shout out to captain Ben and Tony who led some great snorkelling- can’t wait for next year.
A sailing and snorkelling fun filled afternoon.

5.00Picked up by arranged taxi at ship terminal. Felt safe instantly as all crew members were attentive and alert. Crew provided unlimited drinks soft or alcoholic and finger buffet food which was excellent (and plenty of it). We snorkalled over 2 ship wrecks and saw many different fish and the icing on the cake was a turtle. We were at sea to witness the fabulous sunset and wow 👌. Thought our afternoon the crew fully engaged with us making us laugh and making sure we were enjoying our time to the full. Even people who couldn't swim were taken out with a individual guide. Both types of snorkel mash were provided. This is a proper team of people wanting and helping you making this experience the best it could be. Same taxi was waiting to take us back to ship terminal. No waiting it was a streamline service provided by people who cared.
Do not miss out

5.00Just got off snorkel/sunset cruise with Captain Chad and his crew, Tony and Mikey. Couldn’t have asked for a more personable and helpful bunch. Drinks and plentiful food flowed freely. Would do it again in a heartbeat
Our favourite time in Barbados

5.00Sailed with Sam, Rommel, and Michael on the afternoon sunset cruise. My husband and I had a fantastic time - everything is top notch from the boat to the crew to the food and drinks - you will want for nothing. We stopped at two spots to see the turtles and snorkel and they were both beautiful. We had a lot of fun with the people we met on board and the crew was amazing - we thoroughly enjoyed everything. A special thank you to the crew for my husband's birthday surprise! We have sailed on Calabaza before and make a point to try to every time we visit Barbados - hope to see you again soon!
