4.00We were very happy with the small group, the snorkeling at Buck island, the turtles near Water Island. The snacks were great and the painkillers top notch! We were disappointed that we didn’t actually go on Water island. Serena and Fernando were great!
It was advertised as a turtle snorkeling trip and we saw turtles.!! Very informative guides but spoke too fastvv

5.00Katie and Joe made this experience phenomenal. We saw MANY sea turtles and a beautiful coral reef. The water was beautiful. This is the boat you want to book if you don’t want to be on one of the other ships which look equivalent to a can of sardines. So many people were packed on them. Someday boat is smaller and beautiful equipped with plenty of places to sit, a bathroom, and a bar. We also had lovely shaded options for those of us who didn’t want to be in the full sun the entire time. The hosts provided fresh fruit, veggies and dip, water, and of course the open bar. This was the most lovely experience. We booked an afternoon trip and there were only 6 guests on the boat so it felt like a private tour. Absolutely 10000/10 experience. Thank you Katie and Joe!
Disappointing

3.00When a company puts the word "luxury" in the description of their excursion, we expect a little more; it is our opinion, and that of the friends that joined us, that we did not receive a "luxury" experience on this excursion. First, although this boat had two hulls like a catamaran, it was not a catamaran in the true sense of the word. It was not wide-bodied and there was no netting on the front to lie on; in fact, it was more like a square-nosed speed boat with seating for only 4 on the bow, and we were only permitted to sit up there once, when traveling between the snorkeling site and the turtle site. Perhaps "luxury" was limited to their description of the boat, not the entire experience. The greeting we received when boarding the boat was very stiff and institutional, not "island like" at all. We immediately received a very stern safety briefing which contained a warning that neither the Captain, Joe, nor his First Mate, Catie, had any medical training so should any of us have a medical emergency onboard, neither of them could help us and that the help we needed would be at least one hour away! What a lovely way to start what was supposed to be a chill, fun filled day on the water. Now, I am a retired attorney and I fully understand the liability that the people running these excursions face, but there are better, gentler ways to get your point across. With that said, I will move on to the food and drink. The food on this "luxury catamaran" consisted of fresh pineapple and honeydew chunks when we boarded - a pleasant start, but not a luxurious one. After we snorkeled at the first spot, we were treated to celery and carrot sticks - again, not what I would consider luxury food. We were offered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages after snorkeling at the first site. The most enjoyable part of this experience was interacting with Catie; she was very pleasant and upbeat and acted as our guide when we snorkeled at the first site. She entered the water with us and gave us a detailed description of all of the sea life beneath us. Catie was also our bartender. I am sad that I cannot recommend this excursion; we paid more for this 4 hour boat ride than we did for a 7 hour catamaran experience the next day in Sint Maarten, during which we were served fresh fruit, sandwiches made on fresh sourdough French bread, and after stopping at two beaches along the way, chicken and beef tenderloin with a freshly made salad - and "luxury" was not even in the description of that excursion. I understand that in 4 hours, you do not want to bog people down with large servings of heavy food, but you can do better than fruit chunks, celery and carrots.
Highly recommend! We saw...

5.00The boat and crew were wonderful. It was nice to only have 12 people on a nice sized boat. Katie was very knowledgeable of the creatures of the sea (and more!); and the snorkeling was some of the clearest I've ever seen. Captain Joe was also an experienced captain with much knowledge of the birds and turtles. We saw so many adorable turtles! Super communication the morning of... our ship was delayed letting people off. Thanks for waiting for us and thanks for a great day!
Will definitely book again!

5.00My friend and I booked this snorkeling trip and it was a fantastic experience. Captain Serena, Catie and Ron were amazing. I’ve been on other snorkeling excursions, and this was the most organized snorkeling experience. Serena and Catie made sure everyone in our group had a great time and got a chance to see sea turtles along with many other colorful fish. This was also the perfect size excursion with a small group and felt very safe. I highly recommend, this well worth it. Thank you Serena, Catie and Ron for a truly memorable experience.
Amazing snorkeling trip!
