Amazing Experience

5.00Our captain was wonderful and made sure we had all the drinks we wanted like water, sprite, Diet Coke, and fizzy water. She took us to an amazing reef with hundreds of fish. There was a submerged pole underwater with a huge school of fish underneath. I swam through it and it was very cool. The water wasn’t cold yet it wasn’t too hot. They gave you snorkel gear if you didn’t have any. We then stopped, ate lunch and went to a sandbar where we saw a nurse shark. There was a ball on the ship and my brother and my mom played with it while I snorkelled at the sandbar. The water was about up to our mid calf. We stayed hydrated and full the whole time. It was a great experience for kids and there was a dry cupboard in the ship to store your belongings like towels and bags. There was also a cooler to store food and waters. We wore life jackets while we were on the boat. Then when we got to the reef we wore neon yellow inflatable vests. There were pool noodles and a pool floaty tied up to the boat. We also looked for starfish and we saw 2. Through and through a 5 star experience.
Captain Nick made for an epic experience at the Sandbar!

5.00Captain Nick is the BEST!! He is so fun and accommodating. 10/10 Recommend this. You won't regret it. Gorgeous water, great location, easy boat ride to the sandbar. We did the 2 hour cruise and it was a perfect amount of time for my 2 and 3 year old. Thank you! We will definitely do this again when we come back... and request Nick ;)

5.00Captain Mark was absolutely fantastic! We could not have asked for a better day at sea. Even though it started out very windy he made sure to make the most of our trip and when the wind died down he took us to another spot to snorkel that was even better. We ate dinner on the boat on our ride back in and then stopped at a sandbar where our family had a fabulous time. Harlie at check in was absolutely fantastic as well. Family with us ranged from 9 years of age to 50 and everyone had an awesome day.
Perfect Day !

5.00We had a great trip out to the reef and then headed to the sandbar for some music and fun. Our captain Jason was awesome, we really enjoyed our morning. The boat was great, and the equipment was new. Would highly recommend this business 🌞
