Fabulous day out! - We had the the most amazing day out with the Funtastic crew yesterday - thanks to Jordy, Connor and Melvyn (hope the names are right?!). Perfect weather and great energy from the team. The catamaran was a great choice - even got to sail home. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. Thanks for a great day - would highly recommend.

Excellent tour - So much fun, the crew Jodie and Lauren were fabulous, particularly as I was travelling with my 81 yr old mum. She was able to snorkel and really enjoy it with their help. The zodiac tow was handy! They provided us with king prawns with lunch..Yumm. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent snorkeling day trip - My husband and I did the snorkeling day trip yesterday with Tom & Jordi and had an awesome time. Great hosts, lovely morning tea and excellent snorkeling sites. Also shared some great insights into coral repair and regeneration. Highly recommend.

Excellent Sunset Tour - highly recommended! - Seven of us did a work Sunset Cruise which was exceptional! The waves were a bit choppy, so the skipper motored withing Rosslyn Bay Harbour past the impressive vessels and Villas in the Keppel Bay Marina - the sunset was magical and actually a very enjoyable trip considering we didn't sail down the coastline as originally planned! Crew Tom and Terry were very friendly - great service! A great platter and drinks served.

Lazy. - Great day - wonderful snorkelling - better at the second location we went to. Lunch was excellent and included fresh prawns. BYO drinks. We had a wild ride back (bad conditions) but no-one seemed to mind.

Travellers from the UK. - Loved our day out with Funtast ic Catamaran Cruises. The crew were excellent, Jordie and Connor, they couldn't do enough for us. Given the wind conditions, about 24 kph, they managed to find two excellent snorkeling spots, allowing us plenty of time in the water. Great sailing back too, reefed main up and full head sail, a nice reach all the way. Good light lunch (no salt on wraps), prawns, celery sticks, crackers, cucumber, carrot sticks, humus. Big Esky on board for your own stash,as well as cold water. No coffee or tea, so take your own. Boat showing signs of age but everything fully functional, including most importantly - the marine toilet. Felt safe whilst onboard with very competent crew. Wife and I, both "senior citizens" visiting from the UK, would go again if ever back in Yepoon,Queensland. Recommend.

A Day in Paradise - We had a lovely day enjoying the pristine conditions of Keppell Bay. The boat was well set up. Some extra bean bags for sitting would be nice. Tom and his offsider were very friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to do what they could to make the day great. They gave a very good induction, were diligent with safety, and were obviously on the ball checking on everyone as we snorkelled. One disappointment was that one passenger smoked while aboard the boat. It was not pleasant having to put up with the smoke from that. Overall this was a very special day and one I would highly recommend.

Weather not great but we are glad we went on this tour of Great Keppel Islands - Due to the weather we didnt get to go on the catamaran but The Kraken instead, which was great. Although the weather was not ideal (raining and cold) the crew did a great job at showing us around the island. The food was fresh and plentiful and the boat clean. One thing that would have been nice on the cold and rainy day was a hot tea or coffee to warm us up. The other thing missing was soap, both in the toilet and for use before eating. Tom, Lauren and Carl were a great crew and we felt in safe hands. Recommend this company and Im sure the catamaran in the right weather conditions would be a great day out.

Relaxing day - It was wonderful being out on the water all day. The staff were friendly and helpful. It would have been useful to have been told a clearer itinerary for the day and to have been given some history/geography of Great Keppel Island.
