Lovely day on the water - Good organisation, they have two boats depending on the number of people booking the trip. We were a bit early at the harbor and had to wait, but everything was smooth and got clear instructions once on the catamaran. We saw multiple dolphins and they were so close to the boat so we could see them from up close. We sailed to the island, while served nice cold drinks and a local snack. We were served lunch at noon with grilled chicken, fish, multiple salads and garlic bread. As a desert we had pineapple. We got on a smaller boat to the island itself, as it was low tide. The island itself was nothing special, a lot of souvenir stands with pretty much the same stuff. One hour later we were picked up and brought back to the catamaran. We had some time to snorkel and chill before setting back to the harbour. Due to the wind we could sail back, which was so calming and relaxing. Drinks were served plenty, I definitely recommend the jungle juice! It was one of the best days on our holiday here, we enjoyed this so much! Thank you crew for the amazing day.

Wonderful day - Superb day with breathtaking landscapes. An excellent atmosphere on board the boat. Excellent barbecue lunch with special attention for me who is allergic to oysters. Drop off on the Île aux clams for a very pleasant swim. Thank you to the crew for this beautiful memory.

Wonderful Katamaran Day Trip - Wonderful first katamaran experience! The katamaran was huge, we were few, very nice people aboard and the crew went out of their way to make us comfortable: First we went to a Dolphin sighting spot, where we saw several groups of dolphins crossing our path; then we were taken to a very nice reef for snorkeling - we saw lots of colorful fish and corals. During our snorkeling excursion the crew had prepared a wonderful meal, BBQ chicken and marlin, vegetables and grilled garlic bread. Those, who had gone snorkeling were allowed to have their first alcoholic drink, including a very lovely coctail called "Jungle Juice". During lunch, we were going to the Crystal Rock, where we had a nice swim. After that, they took us to Ile aux Bénitiers, where we would have had the chance to aquire merchandise or (sea) fruit had we had taken money with us - which we unfortunately didn't. After 40 minutes we were rescued from the island, had the chance to swim around some more around Crystal Rock, and went back. It was a delightful experience and we're sure we'll make another katamaran tour next time, a big thank you from Gisela, Stefan, Josef and Florian

Good cruising - Felt very safe on the catamaran with an experience crew. The dolphin sighting was rather disappointing as about 20 boats surrounding 3 or 4 dolphins. Good job this did not involve swimming with them as I would have felt sorry for the dolphins. Day improved with snorkelling over some lovely corals just outside the reef. There were not enough snorkels provided so I would advise people to bring their own. The crew cooked an excellent bbq on the boat with chicken fish and salad.The trip to the island involved shopping and fortunately we had some money as there were some good souveniers.
