Amazing excursion - My family of 5 had an amazing time on this excursion. The sailboat was clean and relaxing. Melissa was accompanying and checking to see if we needed anything. She is very knowledgeable and explained the expectations while we were snorkeling. The captain was also very nice. We liked the small group. We
Would definitely recommend and plan to book again during our next visit.

Amazing snorkel and sailing experience!!! - Awesome day on the sailboat, and excellent snorkel experience!!! We got to see lots of string rays, lion fish, sea snails, a lobster, plus tons of beautiful reef fish. The sailboat crew were super friendly and fun, and passionate about the reefs and knowledgeable about all the sea life.

Great Experience - The captain adjusted the trip to make sure we had a good experience. The normal route had very high waves so we went to a different location and we had a great time!

Friendly, knowledgeable... - Friendly, knowledgeable crew, even with partial visibility I saw plenty of fish and coral. Also saw dolphins and a sea turtle. I really appreciated the limited number of passengers, rather than a crowd.

No Snorkeling for Us - We arrived to find out that the trip had to be postponed until the afternoon due to the strong winds. Snorkeling was to be a celebration for our grandson’s 18th birthday. The trip was rescheduled for an afternoon attempt but we were leaving town by then. They were very accommodating saying we would be refunded but it will take awhile. We were very disappointed but understood they had no control over the situation. I wish we would have received a text earlier so that we would not have rushed over there.

The only live reef in North America? Not so - It wasn’t much of a coral reef to see. We learned that the Winds were too high so they took us to an alternative location. Wasn’t much to see there
