What an exceptional day in Barbados with the folks at El Tigre. Got to swim with turtles, rays, tarpon and tons of beautiful reef fish. The whole crew was smazing but wanted to recognize Robert, Wayne and most especially Winston for helping make our day on the water EXCEPTIONAL!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful trip yesterday. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon. Ryan, Winston & Daniel went out their way to ensure all our needs were tended to and what fine company too. Just the right balance of professionalism, camaraderie and all of them so entrancing with so many stories to tell. We felt like we had been on the sea with them for a whole season not just a few hours! Thank you so so much!! We can't wait to do it all again!! 5 Hundred Stars!!!

What a fantastic day out! The boat was in great condition and Winston and the crew were an absolute delight. Our glasses were constantly being refreshed and lunch was delicious. We were taken snorkelling at a couple of wrecks and then to a beach where we could swim with turtles. The whole trip was a joy

The crew were fantastic! Maureen from Ottawa was welcoming and down to earth, Philippe was also very helpful and friendly. He had a lot of good information about our excursion and answered many questions about Barbados in general. The whole trip was very fun. I would recommend that people have at least basic swimming abilities but if not I think it would still be enjoyable to stay on the boat. The scenery could not be beat.

Wonderful experience! Friendly staff! It was my sis birthday and we wanted to relax in a relatively safe environment. A small group was promised and the reviews on the cruise were encouraging. It didn’t disappoint! It was a beautiful day! Friendly cruisers ! My niece swam with the turtles and For a few hours we tried to forget the Covid madness and relaxed.. I recommend this company and their staff .

Had a private charter with El Tigre last week to celebrate our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic. The catamaran is a really good size and obviously well maintained, the crew were great - really welcoming, friendly, and efficient ! the food was excellent - really top quality ! and we were lucky enough to swim with a few turtles. We hired the boat from 15.30 - 19.30 for a sunset cruise with dinner and both us and our guests just had the most amazing time............as another reviewer states, it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

We hired the boat for the evening from 3pm - 19:30. Taking off from Bridgetown and heading down to Holetown. We requested a change of direction from Carlisle Bay as we had previously been, they happily changed route for us. From the minute we stepped on the boat they were super friendly and welcoming. Made us feel like it was all about us having the best time, celebrating our friends birthday. We had 2 snorkel stops saw lots of fishes, turtles and a wreck. They offered jackets and support for the less confident in the water. The boat was clean and stylish. The drinks were endless, I never had a empty cup. The food was delicious. They had a full bar and everything you could need. Bluetooth for our own music. Hosts Captain Larry, Kaya and Mali were charming and courteous. Highly recommend the tour, suitable for all types, friends celebrating or a family trip.
