A fun and unique experience - We met Courtney by the ship and had 14 in our group. Courtney let us know it was her first time helping with this excursion and she did great. We got on the party boat and met the captain and the rum started flowing. Courtney made sure everyone had plenty of rum. I do not drink rum, so a beer option would have been nice, but I think my husband drank enough for both of us:) I played DJ instead and took requests from guests as I took over the captains phone. I enjoyed doing that. Courtney and the captain told us about some of the places we were passing.
We got to the beach, which was beautiful and quiet. I did not bring my snorkeling gear and rented it at the beach- it was $15/ hour or $35/ 3 hours. I’d recommend bringing your own. I found some nice shells. I tried a local beer, which was great ($7).
While at the beach, Courtney kept the rum flowing for the guests and hung out with us.
We would definitely do this excursion again.

So much fun! - This was so much fun! One of the best excursions in St. Thomas. With such a small number of people (16 max.),we quickly made friends on the boat. Amber and Captain Steve were very welcoming. Capt. Steve is quite entertaining and Amber kept the delicious rum punch flowing for the entire trip (even delivering refills and ice while we were in the water at the beach). I would definitely do this excursion again.

Awesome Time with St. Thomas Cycleboats - St. Thomas Cycleboats was an awesome excursion that our family enjoyed. They provide water and rum punch. If you want to bring your own snacks and drinks, you can do that as well. Water Island also has a bar, food and water sport supplies for rent on the island. The beach on Water Island is called Honeymoon Beach and it's absolutely beautiful! The whole staff is super friendly and accommodating. It's the perfect amount of time, especially if you need to get back to the cruise ship. They were so nice that they dropped us off closer to the ship when it was time to leave. Would definitely recommend this excursion!

Even better than expected! - After a change to our cruise itinerary and port times, we begrudgingly started looking for another way to spend our limited time in St Thomas. I could not have asked for a better day thanks to Captain Justin and Jamie! We were even lucky enough to have Tamara on board for our 3-hour Water Island trip as well! With a total of 15 guests on board (16 is their max) we were a group of 9 celebrating my birthday. The staff/crew were so genuinely personable, friendly, and fun…and the delicious rum punch flowed freely thanks to Jamie who served us both on the boat AND on gorgeous Honeymoon Beach. It took less than 30 minutes to get to Water Island…no pedaling required…unless you were looking for a way to burn a few calories from all that tasty rum punch! We spent just under 2 hours relaxing on the beach, hanging in the ocean, and even doing a little snorkeling (even saw a few sea turtles!) before our return trip back to Crown Bay Marina..more rum punch, water, friendly conversation, and great tunes before returning to Crown Bay Marina…just a short walk away from our cruise ship. Thank you St Thomas Cycleboats! 5 stars all the way!

Rum Punch Party People!! - Our trip started off a little rocky (our fault, not theirs) and we ended up taking a water taxi to Water Island and met up with our group there!! So if for some crazy reason (or not so crazy reason) you end up being late and the boat had to leave without you, not all is lost! Just jump on the Water Island Ferry and meet your crew and group there!! Jamie was awesome!! She kept our cups full while we hung out on Honeymoon Beach! Just raise your cup when you need a refill and that’s her siren call!! She comes to you whether you’re on land or enjoying the beautiful water! There is definitely no skimping on alcohol with this excursion! I would also suggest the mango daiquiri if you want a frozen drink from the bar! We heard the food was amazing, but we ordered ours and forgot to pick it up (blame it on the rum) before we left. All in all, it was a blast and we met new friends that we continued to hang with during the rest of our stay on the island!! Highly recommend if you like to party! I would probably sit this one out if you don’t drink.

Very fun excursion--Loved it! - We booked this excursion through Carnival Cruiselines and we had so much fun. It was on March 13th, 2025. Captain Dave and Jamie were amazing! Best rum punch we have had anywhere, not just rum mixed with punch--it was the real deal. The boat ride was fun--music and drinks and Honeymoon Beach was small but entertaining--saw some huge sea turtles while snorkeling there. Jamie brought us drinks both on the beach and right out in the water. It was a great time! Not for kids, but great for those that are kids at heart!

My review today Feb. 19,26 - The boat trip was amazing. Our guide Alex was the best host! Enjoyed our trip!
The captain however was rude to his employees and me. He had told us on the way over if anyone wanted to play a song to let him know. I requested to on the way back. A young guest had also requested the same before me. No issue. She asked me what the song I wanted to play was and I spelled it a couple times but it was misinterpreted. The captain, however, told me if I couldn’t spell the song then it couldn’t be played. Nasty, nasty comment. I didn’t deserve that. I didn’t misspell others didn’t understand me. I give the captain negative rating for me and his treatment of his staff!
