5.00Excellent team! Everyone did a fantastic job entertaining us. Great music, excellent drinks, fun vibe, and all the right equipment. I never waited for a drink, and my whole family had a blast swimming all of the locations we dropped anchor. I’d say my favorite was Prickly Pear Cay!
Great day to Anguilla

Wonderful Time

4.00The check-in process was seamless, and all the staff was very kind! The stops were beautiful, and the food was delicious. I’d even go as far as to say it was some of the best food we had all trip. My only complaint is regarding the music; there was hardly any soca played, and considering we are on a Caribbean island, I expected more. There was even a point in time where a song came on, and it was skipped. Not much of a “party” atmosphere, but a great experience nonetheless. The music did pick up towards the end but considering the ride is around 8 hours it could have been spread out better. Also be mindful the ride is bumpy, I’d bring something for motion sickness if that can affect you.
Beach stops not long enough

3.00I’m rating this experience as average. The service and crew were great and attentive. The lunch was very good. But the good service/staff was not enough to satisfy a better rating. First off, the ride onboard is extremely rough. I believe this should be clearly stated in the tour description to advise people in advance. If you are prone to motion sickness (or unsure) in the least, take your pills! I took a pill beforehand and another near the end of the day. I’m so happy I did. The time it took to reach the 1st stop was >1 hour. Numerous people were vomiting throughout this trip (including immediately following lunch when we struck out over rough waves to reach the next location and during the ride back to port, which was also very rough). But, my biggest issue with the tour is the length of the beach stops. It is advertised as 1hr 10mins at EACH stop and, for me, that was a big determining factor for booking this specific trip. I was sadly disappointed when the 2nd stop (Shoals Bay) was only 35mins. Announced onboard as known as “one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean” and sadly being told we only had 35 minutes:( It got worse from there as the 3rd beautiful stop (Meads Bay) we were only allowed 20mins and advised not to go ashore for lack of time. Terrible. I’ve been on many similar day trips throughout the Caribbean, and have never felt as misled/disappointed in such an excursion (especially at this price point). I’m not sure where/how so much time was lost that caused our beach stops to be cut so short. It was not explained. The vast majority of the day is spent in transit rather than enjoying the “best of Anguilla”. Perhaps they should aim for only 2 stops instead of 3 to allow people to enjoy more time at each stop. Or had offered (or polled the passengers) to extend our day by 20 or 30mins before heading back to port. Something should have been done to compensate for the lack of time spent at the stops. I really wanted to love this day trip, but feel disappointed. For these reasons I would not recommend this trip unless you simply want a rough day on a boat.

5.00Everything was great! The pickup spot was easy to find and there was plenty of parking available in the morning. Boarding was an easy process and they gave a rundown of the day shortly after we boarded. The lunch provided was very tasty and the open bar was nice to have! The water was beautiful and we had plenty of time to swim and snorkel. We were able to see one turtle and several stingrays. This is an experience we are so glad we booked.

Best food I’ve ever had on a day cruise and a lovely boat. Also the best staff
Dennis R,May 28, 2026

5.00They did an excellent job with drinks and an especially good job with the lunch. I would’ve appreciated more in the way of a fruit snack come mid afternoon. They did offer some sliced pineapple. I do have to say in all honesty that I thought they were diluting the alcohol heavily. I understand the point given that we were on a seven hour trip, but it would’ve been nice to have an option like wine to drink instead of the largely fruit juice drink drinks.. I understand the weather was not under their control but the last Beach stop was only 20 minutes and the second stop was only 35 minutes neither of which is enough time to really visit the beach…. I do think the staff was doing an excellent job and the boat was very comfortable and had plenty of shade.
