5.00The crew did an excellent job of prepping,..... instructing and making everyone feel relaxed. Captain Tom did a great job handling the boat too. All in all, this trip is worth taking.

5.00Friendly crew. Mike and his team took great care of us. The dinner cruise was the perfect way to finish our day. We were staying at the Marriott and the convenience factor was really a bonus. Highly recommended.
An unforgettable experience.

4.00An evening catamaran cruise at sunset is a fun as w ell as an interesting way to experience the island of St. Thomas. Seeing the gorgeous yachts and cruise ships at night is absolutely remarkable. Lots of fun drinking and enjoying a light buffet meal with mainly a younger crowd but all ages can participate. Highly recommended, except for those few of us who are balance impaired. Come prepared to take off yo sandals and go barefoot for the duration of the cruise.
Who wouldn’t like tacos on the Caribbean?

5.00Truly, an adult experience, however, my 14-year-old son and I had a blast. There’s nothing like sitting in the middle of the Caribbean on rafts eating tacos, and drinking drinks. The servers were awesome, friendly and fun.
Great views and a great Crew

4.00We had a great time on our sunset dinner cruise. The views sailing around were fantastic at sunset and seeing the city lights at night was spectacular. One of the crew was great at showing folks points of interest and telling us about them. The crew did a fantastic job generously refilling drinks the whole time, you certainly won’t go thirsty- not stingy with the booze in the slightest. The BBQ night had pulled pork, Southwest chicken, Tequila Lime beef and they were all good but the beef in particular was really tasty. I do wish they were quicker about dealing with the incompetent fellow vacationers who booked the wrong tours and stupidly showed up at the wrong place. Don’t bother showing up at 5pm for the 5:30pm like they say to do because it was a very long and tedious boarding process so you’d be just fine showing up at 5:20. Unless of course you’re the kind of person who doesn’t know what you’ve booked. Not really a fault of the crew, I think the dimwits who booked the wrong thing should be praising their extraordinary customer service for getting them on. That said, the cruise was decidedly overcrowded. It would have been a 10/10 amazing time if there were about 10 fewer people. There was not sufficient seating for the number on board. All in all well worth the price, but boarding should be more efficient and they should lower their capacity a touch.
