• Great trip but not that much seating or shade

  The pickup location for this excursion was in the roundabout right outside the cruise port. We then traveled a short distance by vehicle to the marina to board our catamaran. There were several catamarans from this same company docked together. The small one had a seating area under a canopy by the captain. The larger catamaran that we were aboard only had several seats at the back and the rest of the passengers sat on the floor or some netting at the bow of the ship. There was some canopy shading at the front and back of the ship, but the crew removed it each time that we raised the sails so about half the time we were sitting mostly in the sun so plan ahead with plenty of sunscreen. The crew were all excellent with guiding us in some great snorkeling around the two shipwrecks that seemed only about 15 feet deep and surrounded by colorful fish (for about 45 minutes in total). The crew fed the fish breadcrumbs so they gathered around the shipwrecks. They offered fins for this first snorkel and the fins helped us swim from one shipwreck to the other. We then sailed the catamaran over to a spot closer to the Carlisle beach where we snorkeled without the fins. Our guides pointed out several turtles feeding in the grass in the sand at the bottom of the ocean (about 15-20 feet below us). We also saw several rays, large tarpons, and one gurnard. After snorkeling, the crew removed the shade and hoisted the sails enabling us to sail past our cruise ship and up to Rihanna’s $22 million island mansion where we dropped anchor and had lunch. The food (fried fish, baked chicken, rice, and salad) was cooked before we departed the marina and kept warm in an oven. It was good but not as warm as it probably should have been. The crew provided us drinks (beer, rum punch, rum and pineapple, water and soda) throughout the day. There is a toilet on the boat located below deck but it requires some agility to navigate around some tighter spaces to reach it. Overall, it was a very fun excursion with great snorkeling. Unfortunately, we had to sit on the hard flooring of the catamaran if we wanted any shade. The netting looked comfortable but it was in the sun most of the time. We were asked to remove our shoes when we first walked onto the ship and we got them back at the end of the day.

  We had a fantastic day on board the Stilleto. We were picked up on time from our hotel and dropped back off after the cruise ended. The crew were friendly & looked after us all day. We were well fed on board, snacks & lunch. There was plenty to drink too. It was lovely chatting to the crew & some of the other guests. We really enjoyed the chance to snorkel & swim at the various stops made. We will definitely book again on our next trip to Barbados.

• Fun experience in Barbados

  Our group of 6 adults had a great time on this well maintained catamaran. Captain Colin, Sean and Wally made sure we always had a drink in hand, whether alcoholic or non. We stopped at three snorkel sites and was able to see many fish and turtles. The staff made sure that non swimmers were assisted during the snorkel adventure. The food was delicious. We were presented delicious banana bread to start and then stewed chicken thighs, Cole slaw, Mac n cheese and a few salads. There was plenty of local culinary flare infused in the buffet. Well worth the money. Transportation to and from the pier was provided via shuttle bus from the cruise port

• Enjoyable time

  We had a fabulous time! The crew were fabulous and certainly kept the drinks flowing. I was a bit overwhelmed in the water as a new swimmer going out to snorkel to see the turtles. However, one of the crew members gave me a 1-1 to make sure I didn’t miss the experience, which was very kind of them and it was at no extra cost. The crew were very friendly and made sure each and everyone one of us on board was catered to and our drinks glasses were never empty. My partner and I had an amazing time and we highly recommend the excursion with this crew.

• Amazing!

  We had the most amazing time aboard Stiletto. Even though when we first got on the rain hammered down we were so well looked after. I had my 2 daughters in their 30's with us and they loved it, being able to see the turtles and fish will be a memory for life. Shaun, Wally and Colin kept the drinks flowing and take such good care of every passenger and the food was also delicious. I would highly recommend this cruise thank you to them all!

  Crew was awesome, atmosphere was great and the weather was perfect. Strong value given the amount of time on the boat + drinks + food + snorkeling. Only downside is seating, can be a challenge to find a comfy spot. Otherwise, all good and I would certainly do it again!!

• Not a Bad Experience

  For the money it was a good trip pick up to return the duration was approx 6 1/2 hours. The good points were the lunch and wine very tasty. However found there was a lack of staff and information on where we were going and what we were doing at the time of anchoring. Also the duration of snorkelling was limited and due to the lack of staff we felt we were left to fend for ourselves especially as my husband isent a good swimmer and needed help with equipment. There wasent enough seating and getting around the boat was a problem especially getting into the water. Overall it was a good trip for eating drinking and enjoying the ambience of sailing but for a snorkelling experience I have been on better trips in Barbados
