Lovely staff who really make the sailing fun and entertaining. We really enjoyed the sunset and the boat itself is immaculately clean. You don’t really see many turtles (we weren’t in turtle season) but the fish are abundant. Great fun and great vibes, would highly recommend!

Superb experience - large, stable, comfortable boat, good vibes from the crew, delicious refreshments, great snorkelling (saw Turtles, Stingrays, Octopus etc) and a lovely sunset sail. Highly recommended.

PERFECT. AMAZING. 10/10. Our crew was Lucky Larry as the captain, Adrian and Chris. They were absolutely lovely and so attentive. It was hard to find, to check in. It’s a white building with no labels. Once checked in, we were on the boat and got our drinks quickly. Our first stop was the turtles and they come up to you so quickly and close. Then, we saw two sunken boats which were amazing to see underwater. They provide life jackets, flippers, snorkel gear, light snacks, drinks(non alcoholic and alcoholic) and pool noodles. Would love to come back and do it again. Love you guys, thanks for making this experience amazing!

I loved this tour! We could see turtles, spotted rays, fish and shipwrecks. We went snorkelling twice. Both times were relaxed and with no rush. They provided us with goggles, tubes, as well as with fins and life jackets. The crew were offering us drinks, you didn’t need to ask for them. The food was very nice, it was more than a snack. The sunset was an incredible moment. Chris and Philip were awesome.

Great crew, enjoyed the turtles, and there were plenty of fish at the wrecks. Highly recommend for others to do.

Highlight of our week in Barbados. The crew were amazing and entertaining and made the experience better! We saw turtles up close, plus shipwrecks. The only slight disappointment was not seeing a sunset due to cloud, but this could not be helped and would have just been the icing on the cake to an already fantastic few hours.

What a great trip. We were collected from our hotel by the very friendly Chris. Once on board, Maureen and the amazing crew made sure we had plenty to eat and drink. The snorkelling with the turtles was surreal. Such a great experience, and the tropical fish around the two shipwrecks were outstanding. With a lovely sunset to boot. Would definitely recommend this trip.

A fabulous way to spend 3 hours. Chris and his crew were brilliant. Attentive knowledgable and funny. I didn’t snorkel but my family did and they said it was wonderful. I photographed the many turtles that we saw. The snacks were plentiful and very tasty and the bar was free flowing. We saw the sun disappear as we made our way back to port. A wonderful trip which was excellent value and will live long in our memories.

Wonderful people, great conversations, we were the youngest couple on the ship and didn’t drink but still loved the whole experience. The sea turtles were incredible, treats on the boat were fun and filling, crew was wonderful. The sunset and cruise along the upper west coast of Barbados was unreal. Definitely a highlight and must do when visiting Barbados

Highly recommend. Great trip and awesome staff. They feed the turtles which brings them very close. The ship wrecks are spectacular to see.
