Captain Vibes and his first mate gave us an excellent day on a private speed boat in St. Lucia. What a thrill! Perfect for a couple like us, or a small group, we were picked up right where the cruise tender dropped us at the pier. We saw beautiful St. Lucia while speeding through the waves, slowing down to be shown caves, villages, and told local history and engaging stories. Plenty of drinks were provided. The 25’ foot orange boat had plenty of room and cushioned seats. We chose to stop and snorkel at two locations, spending most of our time at gorgeous Sugar Beach. Captain Vibes is awesome. This experience is totally worth the price, you will not find a better way to see St. Lucia.

From the very beginning, the experience with Israel King was seamless. Even with a few plan changes, the booking process was easy and stress-free. Karen was quick to respond, patient, and highly professional, making everything efficient and giving us immediate confidence in our choice. My husband and I had such an incredible experience with the Israel King private boat tour that we literally booked it twice. Captain Titus and his partner, Jean Pierre, were phenomenal hosts and made our time in St. Lucia truly unforgettable. We did two full private tour days—north the first day and south the second—and that was hands-down the best decision. Each day felt completely different and perfectly paced. They showed us stunning resorts, breathtaking natural features, and shared so much history about the island that made everything we saw even more meaningful. Along the way, we saw dolphins, went snorkeling and fishing, relaxed at Sugar Beach, and even walked through town with Jean Pierre, which gave us a local perspective you simply don’t get on typical tours. The dynamic between Titus and Jean Pierre is what really makes this experience special. Titus has a big, fun, infectious personality and kept us laughing the entire time. Jean Pierre is incredibly sincere, thoughtful, and always looking out for your safety and comfort—you feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Together, they’re the perfect balance of fun, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. This was private touring at its absolute best. They aren’t just a boat crew—they’re exceptional hosts who truly want you to have the best possible experience in St. Lucia. We can’t recommend Israel King, Captain Titus, and Jean Pierre highly enough. If you’re even considering booking them, do it—you won’t regret it.

We had an unforgettable day on the water with Isreal King. We enjoyed a private boat tour up and down the west coast of St Lucia, ducking in and out of gorgeous bays, stopping at several sites to snorkel and enjoy a delicious local lunch. The hospitality was top notch, from booking with Karen, to our boat crew, who made sure the Rum Punch was flowing and the music was vibing. A private tour is worth every penny over a crowded group experience. Do NOT hesitate to book with Isreal King.

We had the most amazing day with this wonderful company. They were attentive. The boat was safe. They took us to amazing snorkeling spots. We saw everything you could possibly see in a day from a cruise ship without the crowds.! Titus and John Pierre were the absolute best if you have an opportunities to be in St. Lucia and want to do something that does not include the crowd Look no further!!!

I was a bit nervous about paying $700 for a private full day boat trip, but OMG, this was so worth it! Much better than being stuck of a party boat with tourists, some of whom would not doubt be drinking too much. Jerome and Jeremia were delightful hosts. They spent the trip down to Soufriere regaling us with St. Lucian history, geography, and fun facts. We saw all the sights from Rodney Bay to Sugar Beach. My daughter snorkeled. The guys took pictures for us. It was quite possibly the best day ever. And, though we’re not really drinkers, their homemade rum punch was excellent!

Probably our family’s favorite trip excursion of all time. Captain Vibes got us to a bunch of great spots around the island. The crew told the history of several towns we passed along the way and kept us from getting thirsty with beer, rum punch, and soda throughout the day. The snorkeling was great for everyone. They made sure everyone was comfortable with the gear, had pool noodles for extra support, and kept an eye on everyone in the group while we were in the water. Great boat, great crew, great island. Would 100% recommend this trip to anyone!

We booked this as a private trip for our family so that we could enjoy things at our own pace. Titus and Cami were excellent hosts for the day. They turned up on time at the clearly explained pick up point a very short walk from our cruise docking location. We got straight off heading south towards Soufriere. They were both good fun, attentive, knowledgeable and responsive to our requests. There was a cooler full of soft drinks, beer and rum punch on board for us to help ourselves to. Titus booked a taxi for us so that we could go up to Sulphur Springs from Soufriere. This was well worth doing and was a fun experience. He also arranged lunch in Soufriere that we picked up and then ate on the boat sitting out in the Bay. We finished up the trip at a couple of different snorkelling stops, both excellent. Titus made sure to get us back to the port in good time before our cruise ship departure time. Overall this was a great trip and we were able to appreciate the stunning pitons and general island scenery from a great vantage point on the water, avoiding a long slow car journey to get there!

Excellent excursion to discover the bays, shores and peculiarities of Saint Lucia by boat. It was indeed possible to customize our day according to our preferences. Lots of information and anecdotes shared and interesting about Saint Lucia. The suggested meal was delicious and allows you to taste local dishes. An excursion where it is possible to get to know Saint Lucia better without traveling on the only very winding and very often congested road. We recommend without any hesitation. Thank you very much to our Captain Titus and Jean-Pierre for a wonderful day!

The trip was exactly as advertised. We had a boat with 2 amazing crew as a private charter for a day. They were completely flexible and built the itinerary around their expert advice and our requests. The boat was beautiful and fast! We did the mud baths, waterfall and a locally prepared lunch washed down by lots of drinks. They arranged transfers and hosted us on the excursions. The whole thing topped off by some amazing beaches and snorkelling in beautiful clear sea. Thank you for a great day.

Great day out on the boat with Titus and his nephew, I would highly recommend. We also stopped for a land excursion to hit up the mud baths which was a nice way to split up the day.
