“Dolphins swimming through sunrays – underwater heaven. Captain Stef and his first mate Tim ran a tight ship with good vibes only. Joanna corralled the snorkelers with ease. The most delicious turkey sandwiches – fresh. Clean and professional. Brand new boat. We swam with a pod of bottlenose for almost 30 minutes. Saw many sea friends during reef snorkel followed by water slide fun. Ten out of TEN!” (Reviewed on 2025-04-21)
