Incredible experience, highly recommended

5.00We hired this catamaran for a private 50th birthday party, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The boat itself was fantastic - spacious, spotless, and perfect for celebrating with friends. The crew were incredible: friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we all had an unforgettable time. A special mention has to go to the skipper, Riaz. He was super accommodating, warm, and full of great energy. He had everyone dancing throughout the cruise and made the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and personal. We did stop at an Ile Aux Cerfs, which was lovely, but honestly, the cruise itself was the real highlight for us. The atmosphere on board, the music, the views, and the overall vibe made it truly special. Highly recommend this catamaran cruise for anyone looking to celebrate a milestone or just enjoy an incredible day on the water. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time!

4.00Great one day experience on a nice boat very limited sailing most of the time we motored. very friendly crew, stayed two hours on the island which was nothing too spectacular. Food was good, but not a lot for everybody. Drinks whereas described.
Awesome day with amazing people and even better rum.

5.00Easy to find, lots to drink (soft and alcoholic) great lunch and fun people. It was also much quieter than all the other tours we passed, smooth sailing.
Totally worth the money and the day

5.00Tour is beautiful, confortable and clean boat/catamaran size, crew is very friendly and polite (Patrick and Scott). We were only eight passengers that day and each person had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ride! There were good drinks (wine, rum, beer, sparkling water etc) and they prepared some vegan food for me, while the others had a barbecue. I totally recommend it.
A great experience

5.00We have just returned from a wonderful day on the Island Hopper Catamaran. The day was amazing, only eight of us on board, we had drinks flowing all day and a delicious lunch cooked by the lovely Scott. Patrick (the Skipper) and Scott made the trip by being friendly and helpful and couldn’t have looked after us better. Thank you both very much.

5.00Very pleasant day towards the deer island. Not at all crowded like on some boats. About fifteen adults and two children. The flight crew is great! Professional but nice. To advise without moderation!
Absolutely fun

5.00Our team was late by 30mins but they waited for us with no problem. Drinks were flowing for all 6hours and food was delicious. Staff was friendly and the ppl we found on the boat. They also played our playlist and the tour guide was very informative.
