A fabulous day with my teenage children. This is the second time we have sailed with Jason but used Shasa 2 this time. Jason is professional, knowledgeable and a great sailor. We definitely did not feel like tourists. Highly recommended and will do it again. A big thanks to Jacob as crew too. A gray team.

We have visited Barbados several times and we have sailed with Shasa Catamaran Cruises many times. Captain Jason and first mate Jonathon are simply the best that is out there which is why we keep coming back - 12 years on! We have sailed with other companies so we do have a comparison and they are in a whole different league. You will not be disappointed. From the moment you step aboard, you can expect a very warm welcome and of course a lovely ice cold rum punch! Jason and Jonathon will take you away from the hustle and bustle of destinations visited by the masses for a far more exclusive experience. We had THE most incredible time swimming with the beautiful turtles, my absolute passion. Jonathon comes in the water with you and feeds them so you can watch from up close. these incredible creatures. We then sailed on to explore a ship wreck which has an incredible number of fish around it. Such a relaxing, exciting, memory making afternoon. We have some brilliant GoPro footage to treasure these memories - until the next time ... one thing is for certain, we will be back and we will be sailing with Shasa again. 100% recommend you look into sailing with Jason and Jonathon.

On 2/27/20 the 6 of us were given the best day in Barbados on the Catamaran Shasta II. Captain Jason and first mate Jonathan were wonderful. 8 total on the 5 hour cruise. You will not be disappointed booking Shasta.

I can't rate Jason and Jonathan highly enough. They looked after us beautifully from the moment we met them. They took us to a much quieter swim stop for the turtles and reef. Lunch was fabulous. It was so much nicer to have a smaller catamaran to sail in, wouldn't hesitate to book with them. Thank you guys.

We had an incredible time with captain Jason and first mate Jonathan. Highlights were swimming with turtles, seeing multiple types of fish and of course drinking rum punch while watching the sun set. Can’t wait to do it again some day.

Had a wonderful 5 hour trip with Jason and Jonathan. Our children (12, 9 & 7) absolutely loved their first experience of proper sailing. The snorkelling with turtles and the reef fish was cool. The home cooked lunch was exceptional. But it was speeding along under full sail on a boat that felt like it was ours for the day that we will all remember best.

We had a fantastic afternoon out, just 7 of us was nice in a small group, swam with several turtles & lots of fish over a reef. Jason & Jonathan were great, would do it again

Theres no shortage of catamaran charters in Barbados, however let the big boys sail past and get on the best with Jason and his excellent first mate! We arrived at the pick up location with other people who were getting on a larger charter, but Jason just rocks up and shouts our name and we jump on - felt like royalty as opposed to other people getting on the other boat....brilliant! A very knowledgable guy who delivers a personal touch everytime (this was our second trip with him). Turtle swimming was great but again the personal touch makes it even better, as first mate got in the water with us and gave my wife confidence to swim further than she would of done otherwise. Thanks Jason - you're a top man and captain!

We have been on several catamaran cruises in the past, but as a party of 6 we wanted a smaller boat with fewer passengers. Contacted the owner, Jason, and fixed a date before starting the holiday. This tour starts from Holetown, so the 3 hour cruise avoids the need for a long sail from Bridgetown before getting to the West Coast. It included taxi pick up and return from our South Coast hotel. Jason and Jonathon (his crew) were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. My daughter had injured her arm a few weeks earlier, and they helped her in and out of the boat, provided a flotation device and stayed with her in the water when swimming. Swimming and feeding the turtles was amazing - I have never been so close to so many - they were literally brushing past me. The tour finished with a swim over a shipwreck, coral reef with a multitude of tropical fish. I can thoroughly recommend this company and will certainly use them again on my next visit

We have been sailing/ snorkelling several times before on Barbados but this was the best. The day was personalised to our needs (including those of our young children, one of whom is a confident snorkeller and the other being more nervous). Jason and Andre found quiet spots away from the crowds, including a beautiful spot for lunch and another swim. Thank you so much for a brilliant day, we will be back again next time.
