Catamaran expeirience. - Captain Mike and Ally made this an amazing trip. We were treated like royalty and ally specifically was so kind. We didn’t see turtles but the experience was awesome.

A Three Hour Tour - watching the dolphins swim alongside the boat was cool. when my wife threw up three times, they were attentive in making sure she was okay. the skipper was a mighty sailing man, the first mate brave and sure. 6 passengers set sail that day for a (3) hr tour. seriously, it was a great time. the waves were a bit choppy, but Skipper Stan and first mate were awesome!

First & best Snorkel Experience - We got Captain Stan with crew members Nicole and Jule. All 3 were amazing and super kind. It was our very first time snorkeling and the crew were super informative and accommodating. We were able to see a pod of bottle nose dolphins playing with a family of humpback whales on the cruise to the snorkel spot. We saw so many different beautiful fish and managed to see a turtle! On the cruise back in we got a delicious snack and lots of choices of drinks. We HIGHLY recommend taking this trip! 10/10

Great snorkeling! - My daughter and I enjoyed our snorkeling adventure. Cindy and Chelsea were terrific. We were disappointed that we didn’t get to see any turtles, except for the one in the harbor as we were leaving, but perhaps next time!

Absolutely stunning! - Capt Mike and Rob were the best crew ever! Much to our surprise we went out on this adventure and we were the only 2 guests! I have been on a few snorkeling trips and this one was my favorite. Rob was in the water with us the whole time, pointing out what fish we were seeing. He even found some starfish and a couple octopi's! Lunch was a hearty turkey sandwich that was made locally, drinks and snacks were also offered.

It’s a snorkel trip on a reef. - Great friendly crew who made the experience a great day out. The title of the experience is misleading- the cruise goes out to a reef to snorkel. The snorkel kit was good quality that supported a good experience. There is no guarantee of swimming with sea turtles or even seeing turtles. The experience did not focus on finding turtles to swim as the headline eludes to. The lunch provided was less than average, potentially would have been better if it had been kept warm.
