Top notch captain and crew. Beautiful views and gorgeous sunsets. We went to 4 different shipwrecks and saw hundreds of fish! Crew seemed like they really cared and wanted to ensure all the guests had an awesome experience. Food was also delicious and we didn't even eat dinner afterwards because they fed us so well. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone!

Amazing trip- great sail, incredible snorkelling and wonderful crew - so friendly and helpful. My husband has food allergies and he was completely catered for. Thoroughly recommend.

Wow - what an experience. From the hotel pick up to the drop off, you don’t have to lift a finger! If you want a chilled out few hours on a fantastic boat with the best snack food (genuinely amazing), best drinks, best music then look no further. The crew are amazingly experienced and so attentive to all your needs with no BS selling of photos or other add ons. 100% recommended.

Best Catamaran Tour!

Shasta_S, Mar 2026
Capt. Chad, Romell and James were so fun and attentive! We had a guided tour of the shipwrecks in Carlisle Bay, so many wonderful snacks, and flowing bar....great rum punch! We then sailed along the west coast. Even though Capt. Chad couldn't move the clouds for us to see the sunset, we did catch a peak! We loved the cruise and would definitely come back again! 10/10! Thank you for a great experience!

Fantastic afternoon Cruise. What an experience!!!

Marie_S, Feb 2026
Went on this afternoon criuse with three friends. We had the most amazing time. From the time we were picked up at the hotel everything was so professional. The staff on board could not have been more helpful dealing with us who had never snokelled before. They were so patient and very safety conscious. The food was amazing and there was no shortage of rum punch and any other drink you may want. I cannot recommend this trip enough. There were only 14 of us on board which made it all the more special.

Superb experience

Richard_D, Jan 2026
Absolutely superb experience. Crew captained by Chad were super friendly, very informative and attentive. Boat is excellent and it’s nice that it’s a small number of people. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable

andrew_H, Dec 2025
our sunset trip was amazing , the crew are fabulous , the boat is beautiful , the snorkelling was an experience that was enjoyed so much more because of the local knowledge of the crew member that swam and guided us . They cater for all levels of swimmers and if you dont want to swim you can stay on the boat and enjoy the views . The food/snacks were out of this world . The sunset was out of this world . We made friends with everyone aboard . Thank you to everyone on Calabaza for making a lovely memorable day for my wife and I .

Amazing day, wonderful crew and experience!!

Mindy_A, Dec 2025
The catamaran was beautiful, the staff was amazing and they provided a ton of delicious food. I highly recommends the luxury Catamaran Sailing with Calabazza!!

My Birthday Experience on the Catamaran Sunset Cruise

Rene_J, Dec 2025
The crew was awesome, friendly, funny and helpful attentive to our needs. We had lots of good food that was very tasty and all the rum punch I could drink. It was my birthday on Dec 7th along with 5 other women who were also Celebrating and we even had a chocolate birthday cake with a candle. I don’t smoked yet but the crew was willing to help me learn. I had a fabulous birthday with everyone. I loved being on the water in the catamaran and enjoying the sunset and sea views,

Michael_D, Apr 2025
Fantastic catamaran trip. We snorkelled the shipwrecks and coral reefs, getting up close and personal with metre long Tarpons and Puffer fish. We were also waited on constantly by a brilliant crew with fantastic food and drinks, whilst enjoying a beautiful Caribbean sunset! Couldn’t recommend any more!

This was our favorite...

Kerri_G, Mar 2025
This was our favorite day. The crew was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the island. The boat was very nice for the group of 12, clean and the food was fabulous! We were never waiting for anything. Drinks flowed, food was perfect and snorkeling was great! We had Danny as our captain with Tony and Cian as our crew. They were all amazing!! We did the afternoon with sunset sail. It was just spectacular!

Great time had by all

Ben and his crew were fantastic! Lots of fun, great food and drinks and all of the guys were fun to talk with. I highly recommend it!

Brilliant afternoon! Nice...

Johan_G, Jan 2025
Brilliant afternoon! Nice boat, great crew who constantly offered you drinks and delicious snacks. Bert entertaining as well! Plenty of other snorkelers from other board at the shipwrecks though so the water was kind of crowded. But the tour operator can hardly be blamed for that. We strongly recommend!

Quailty Sunset Catamaran

sonah, Nov 2024
The guys are on the crusie were super helpful and provided a lesson on snorkeling for those that hadn't snorkelled before. They also were on hand to provide assistance in the water for those that weren't swimmers wearing life jackets. There was also plenty of food and drink for everyone and cracked a few decent jokes. Would recommend!

Fabulous Cruise

Eric_H, Aug 2024

Swimming alongside the Turtles in Carlyle Bay, swimming with thousands of colourful fish over the shipwrecks. Nice food, plenty to drink and great Crew.
