Hi there!
I just had to share about the absolutely fantastic time I had yesterday aboard the catamaran! It was genuinely an unforgettable day from start to finish.
Captain Collin was an absolute gem – so welcoming, friendly, and made everyone feel completely at ease. And the rest of the crew, Shaun and Dillon, were just as wonderful! They were super polite, incredibly helpful, and always had a smile on their faces, making sure all the passengers were having a great time.
We got to explore two incredible snorkel spots! It was like swimming in a giant, vibrant aquarium, with so many colorful sea creatures darting about. We even got to check out a really cool sunken vessel, which was quite the adventure! Our third stop was just perfect for simply soaking up the breathtaking beauty of the Caribbean Sea – pure bliss.
And let's talk about the refreshments! They had everything covered – a fantastic spread of yummy snacks and a great assortment of drinks, including some adult beverages (cheers to that, right?!). No one was going thirsty or hungry, that's for sure.
Honestly, the whole trip was just pure fun and so immersive. It's seriously perfect for everyone – whether you're on a romantic getaway, chilling with friends, or enjoying a family adventure with kids and grandparents, everyone will absolutely love it.
This was actually my second time out with this amazing crew, and I'm already dreaming about my next trip! I can't recommend them enough. They truly deliver a top-notch sailing experience every single time.
Big thanks to the whole team for another amazing day!
Best,
Roma Wilson

This excursion is a must! I went as a solo female (Black) traveler and had an amazing time. I felt very safe and the group I went with was warm and welcoming.
We had the opportunity to do snorkeling twice: the first time we saw turtles, the second time we saw fishes and shiprecks.
This tour is ideal even if you're not a confident swimmer, all equipment is provided and the guides will jump in the sea with you if you need help. Make sure to follow their instructions.
There were unlimited drinks throughout the excursion, and they made sure we stayed hydrated all the time.
We were served banana bread, and then the lunch buffet was warm and tasty, there was salad, coleslaw, chicken and fish, rice and peas, garlic bread and macaroni cheese. The lunch includes a swimming stop too.
I have no complains, make sure you bring SPF 50+, sunglasses and something to cover up as sometimes you'll be under the sun with little shade.
I highly recommend it and I would do it again.
Also I appreciated the pickup and dropoff.

Thanks for doing such a wonderful review about the cruise. We appreciate you very much and look forward to have you come sailing again soon. Thanks Graham
We liked our smaller boat tour with the same company so much, we booked this tour two days later. Once again, we saw shipwrecks ( with tons of fish!) and turtles. Boat was comfortable, and Sean and Dylan made sure we had everything we needed. It was a relaxing tour with all the best ingredients - snorkeling, good vibes, good music, some drinks, delicious lunch, and transportation to and from the boat was added bonus. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Yes thanks for the lovely review. You had great time on both the smaller and larger catamarans. Thanks for the double bookings and have a great time in my wonderful island. Graham
It’s a fun and relaxing tour. The tour staff is phenomenal. The tour guides are very tentative to everyone.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Vida for the review. It helps us so much. Graham
We love to do day activities on vacation and this one did not disappoint. Transportation was prompt, we had plenty of time to snorkel and free swim. Everything was very relaxed, the service was wonderful and the lunch was so good! Not just a hoagie in a bag, but a full plate of a home-cooked meal. Highly recommend.!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for this review. Yes we are very lucky to have Shevon as the cook . She cooks plenty and with flavor too. Thanks Graham
All the staff were great. The lunch was great and the drinks. My only one negative was a comment from one of the staff stating that he did not like newbies (people who have not snorkell or confident swimmers), we are all there for the experience, fun etc and the staff should embrace this.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for letting me know about this crews comment and I will investigate as we pride ourselves in teaching the new commers how to snorkel and enjoy their time looking at the fish and turtles. I will definitely find out who made this comment as that is not good. I appreciate the 4 star review and letting me know about the comment made. Glad to see you enjoyed the rest of the cruise. Thanks Graham
It was a great day spent on the Stiletto catamaran cruise. The snorkeling stops were great, even for someone who's not a confident swimmer (all gear is provided). The crew made sure that there was always a drink in our hand and the lunch was delicious. Loved also the pickup/drop off service.
The crew was very knowledgeable, courteous, fun, attentive, drinks kept flowing from when you got on the boat till you got off, the food was amazing, and they made sure you saw turtles, puffer fish and more, you wont be disappointed if you do this excursion
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks very much for the wonderful kind words. Come see us again when you are in my island in the sun. Cheers Graham
Just perfect! Pick-up/drop-off included, equipment provided, great snorkelling spots, delightful meal, flowing drinks, and attentive staff - couldn’t have asked for more :)
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Yeah! Thanks very much for letting me know my crew are doing such a good job on your cruise. It is such a nice feeling to have lovely comments about the crew. Thanks for this review. Nuff respect. Thanks Graham
The owner of the boat is a great guy and the staff made sure our cups never run dry! The food in particular was scrumptious. Thanks to the staff for such a great day.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Yeah! I even get a little part of a review. How good is that? You just made my day. I have great crew who pay attention to the small things. They all make it possible and easy to run. Thanks for the great review. Graham
This is a fantastic cruise along the west coast of Barbados, with 2 stops for snorkeling (all equipment provided), where we saw turtles and two shipwrecks with lots of colourfull tropical fish. The drinks were plentiful and a delicious lunch provided. We were looked after superbly by the crew Shaun 1 and Shaun 2 and Dylan and the atmosphere was happy and chilled. I would 💯 % recommend this trip to anyone.
My wife, daughter and her fiancé all enjoyed the excursion on Wednesday. The crew was very attentive and hospitable on board the catamaran and when assisting everyone snorkeling. The lunch on board after the snorkeling was a delight. Staff kept a cold drink in hand keeping us all hydrated! The sea life was very vibrant and there were thousands of fish! Great time was had by all!
We honestly can’t recommend these guys enough. Graham, the boss man, takes care of everything 100%, while Shaun, Shaun and Roachford are absolute legends! Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they keep the drinks flowing all day. 🍻🍹
The lunch was fabulous too, with something for everyone. 🍽️😋
We made four stops for snorkelling, with plenty of time to simply chill and enjoy the beautiful surroundings if snorkelling isn’t your thing. 🐠🌊
This was our second trip with Stiletto Catamaran, and once again they didn’t disappoint. To watch the full day, follow Northwest Wanderers on YT 😀
Thanks, guys, for another fantastic day! ❤️🇧🇧⛵️
Everyone was so nice and friendly , great food and never ending drinks ! I will definitely be back ! :)
Me and my friend group had the best time with Capt Shawn and crew they were so amazing and attentive i would recommend this tour a thousand times over. Drinks and food were good as well
From the start of booking Graham was very responsive and helpful! Captain Shawn and Omar, an amazing crew, so kind, thoughtful and helpful. Lunch was fantastic, especially loved the macaroni pie and banana bread! Felt like true authentic homemade meal! The stops to snorkel were great, loved the ship wreck snorkeling. Our favorite was the last stop, beautiful calm waters, you could walk on beach. The trip up the west coast was stunning. The kindness the crew had for their guests and locals didn’t go unnoticed… truly enjoyed this afternoon experience! We highly recommend Stiletto, and her crew! -Buffie, Devon & Austin
The experience was great, the guys on the boat treated us really well, they were very friendly and answered any questions we had.
This was one of the stand out moments of my trip. The crew was friendly and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable from the moment we boarded one of families on board didn’t know how to swim and mid ocean had a panic attack and the crew were able to calm him down . We had the opportunity to snorkel with sea turtles, see a shipwreck, enjoy beautiful views of the coastline, and relax while sailing on the Caribbean Sea. Lunch was delicious, the drinks kept flowing, and the atmosphere struck a nice balance between fun and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Barbados

Absolutely Marvelous review. Thanks for taking the time for doing this wonderful review. Graham
One of the best days spent in Barbados. The crew was fabulous and very accommodating. Always made sure we had drinks (premium) and were well hydrated. Collin went above & beyond as a captain and the 2 Seans made sure we had a great time at sea and provided a lot of information on the wildlife and shipwrecks that we were able to see. The food was probably the best food I had during my week in Barbados. Was genuinely shocked. Amazing options with 3 types of salads, chicken and fish options. The BEST mac pie and rice and peas. Chef’s kiss! The fresh and hot banana bread given for snack was the icing on the cake. Graham was extremely gracious accommodating my hotel pick-up. Solo female traveller and felt extremely safe. Overall a wonderful experience with Stilletto and will be sure to book with them again.

Whow Deidre. You were not kidding g when you said you were going to write a great review. I even got a mention 😃 Thanks so much for the help. Regards Graham
I had a wonderful time viewing some of the cool creatures and landmarks in the ocean. Staff were friendly, informative and attentive ensuring passenger safety while providing a fun and exciting ride and snorkeling experience
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks very much for the kind words and taking the time to write us this wonderful review. Come see us again soon and we can show you a smooth sailing experience.again. Thanks again Graham
This was amazing. We did this the day before we left but would have done it every day if we would've done it on day 1. Super friendly & attentive staff, food was delicious and the trip and water were fantastic. We only got to see one or two turtles unfortunately but still have 0 regrets or complaints. Everyone was dancing on the boat towards the end of the trip and we could tell that other people on their boats wished they were on ours (waving, laughing, smiling and taking pictures of our boat!) We would definitely do it again and again! ❤️
Response from Host, Aug 2026
This is so great a review. This is what makes it all worth while. Making travellers have the best day of their holiday is a great job to have. I am luck to have such good crew working for me. Iwill be smiling all day long because of your review. Thanks so much. Graham
Had the best time ever ! We loved turtles being fed at the wharf, the snorkeling, endless drinks and amazing food! A great day for jumping in the water and very safe. The guys on board were awesome and had fun with us! Ty for taking music suggestions and making the tour so fun. I’ll be back!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks so much for this great review. Yes it is a good start to the cruise in the harbour when I feed the turtles lettuce every morning. Glad to hear you had a good time with my crew and they even played some of the music you like to hear. Thanks again and we look forward to see you again when you come back to our island in the sun. Regards Graham
It was not a bad trip even during the rain. I thought we would go somewhere else for snorkeling. My hotel was ten minutes away. Overall, I enjoyed myself. Idid see the boats below. Suggestion, play music consistently please. Thank you.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We had to snorkel in Carlisle Bay Close to your hotel as there was a rain cloud over Holetown where we can also do the snorkeling. The reason why no boats play the music while snorkeling is that the crew in the water may shout for help with a customer in difficulty and the captain can not hear them. Glad you had an enjoyable time. Thanks Graham
Although the crew was very pleasant , friendly and helpful. The crew was not prepared for unexpected weather conditions. The boat had a very small section for passengers to use for any unexpected weather conditions. When it started raining half the passengers had to stayed where they were outside on the deck without any rain protection like disposable plastic rain cover .
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We had the sails up heading home and the rain came so some people got wet as we had taken the covers down to put the sails up. I can't stop the rain from falling. Cheers Graham
If you are driving to the catamaran (the bridge area next to the boat dock), make sure to see a Stiletto crew member immediately upon arrival in order to avoid being yelled at by the other boat captains that you cannot park there. This almost went as far as me punching that yellow shirted captain in the mouth because he was on me verbally from the time I got out of the car - even though the stiletto crewmember, who was right there, told me to park on the bridge. Other than that, the trip went well and Captain Graham and crew were very nice and helpful. The food was good, and the drinks were plentiful. My only other advice is that if you are not a good swimmer, you should definitely use a noodle when at the wreck site, the currents are present.
Pure Vibes. The Captain and the crew were absolutely amazing. Me and my mother had the best time. I will be coming back soon
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Yeah! Glad to hear you had a great time with your mother and look forward to having you sail again soon. Thanks for your review. Graham
I am delighted that I chose this catamaran, we went to two major snorkelling areas. Food, drinks, music and overall vibes were great. The staff is very helpful and attentive.
Let me lead with we had a GREAT time!! The crew was so kind and so helpful. The food was really good, they kept the drinks flowing, and the music was banging! We had the best time ever!
Overall I think this is a great bang for your buck, which is why we gladly give it 5 stars. Some
things I would have liked to know beforehand is that this boat is a little older and not so big. I wouldn’t consider this a “small group” tour, as I feel there were too many people on for the size of the boat. There were about 25 people and you kind of had to find a place to sit because the boat isn’t so big. Ultimately everyone on our boat was extremely nice or stayed to themselves, which kept the vibes high.
Thank you to the crew, Sean, Shawn and Collin!
Great experience, ask of the staff was polite and attentive. The food was good and the snorkeling was fun!
I booked this experience with my whole family and they all had a great time. All staff were very attentive. Location and views were memorable. Food and drinks were great.
Crew was fantastic, fun and engaging. The lunch provided was way beyond expectations. Absolutely a fantastic day
