We really enjoyed this experience! Music was good and drinks were flowing! The skipper and his assistants were so hospitable and looked after us very well. The homemade food was delicious! The snorkelling was great fun and it was lovely to be in the sea near old sunken wrecks! I would really recommend this experience….lovely memories of our holiday in Barbados!

Brilliant experience, one of the highlights of our holiday. Got to see turtles and shipwrecks. A great atmosphere on board, scenery, music and info appreciated. Omar looked after us very well with drinks. Food was also very good.

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

Review the boat first

Tony_M, Jul 2026

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 drive to the boat - be prepared to stand your ground!

Philip_R, Jul 2026

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...

Brianna_B, Jul 2026

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

Unforgettable experience

Kristalia_C, Jul 2026

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.

Overall a VIBE!

Shea_D, Jul 2026

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 times!

James_M, Jul 2026

Great experience, ask of the staff was polite and attentive. The food was good and the snorkeling was fun!

Kirk_R, Jul 2026

Crew was fantastic, fun and engaging. The lunch provided was way beyond expectations. Absolutely a fantastic day

5 star experience

Jack_T, Jul 2026

Shawn and Dillion were fantastic. Very attentive to everyone’s needs and served up ice cold drinks without hesitation! Lunch was very good and definitely home cooked with some local flare! 5 out of 5 stars. Snorkeling was great and fully guided by Shawn and Dillion as well. Plenty of great gear snorkel life jackets for those who wanted them.

Honest review

Jada_N, Jul 2026

The tour was so amazing the crew is very experienced and knowledgeable and I love the captains sense of humor. The food was amazing and endless drinks. I did not swim but my friend who did the crew was super patience and helpful with guiding her on what to do. I love the energy of everyone on the boat and the weather held up nicely, the ride itself was super calm and relaxing. The driver was on time for the pick ups and dropped everyone back safely. Overall it was a great experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Ahh. Thanks so much for coming on my cruise. It was a wonderful day. Thanks Graham

Great reviews for us. We appreciate it and hope to see you again soon. Thanks Graham

William_S, Jul 2026

GO! Its is worth every penny to see these turtles and stingrays! The entire excursion was wonderful from start to finish!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

You are just the greatest. Thanks so much for the review. You got me smiling. Graham

A must do in Barbados

Aleksandra_F, Jun 2026

Look forward to an amazing crew, wonderful views and an overall great experience. The food was excellent, a good variety of options and the drinks were plenty.

Wonderful day out!

MARCIA_F, Jun 2026

Day on the water

Sharon_B, Jun 2026

Was it safe? Yes. Rum punch gets 3/5 stars. They did a good job pointing out the turtles and reef with fish. If you don’t swim, plan to be on the boat. Lunch was 3/5 too.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

If you do not swim we have inflatable life jackets which non swimmer guests can use in conjunction with large pool noodles for added floatation. We encourage travellers into the water by using these floatation devices so they do not have to stay on the boat the whole time. Two crew are in the water with guests during the snorkel stops and teach them how to snorkel if they want to learn. The statement where non swimmers must stay on the boat is incorrect as we have non swimmers in the water every day. if people are terrified of the water we can only encourage them to go in with our assistance. The rum punch and the lunch we serve usually get 5 star reviews. Thanks Graham

Boat Captain Collin and crew (Stillleto)

Kathryn_D, Jun 2026

It’s was a beautiful day with a great crew! I didn’t realize I would get seasick and they immediately had something ready for me. Within 30 minutes I was feeling 100% better. I can’t thank them enough because it would have been a miserable day without their help. The lunch was delicious and the location breathtaking. We ran into rain on our way back, but I was happy for the cloud cover. Sunscreen! Cheers

Graham did a great job at...

deshondadickson, Jun 2026

Graham did a great job at communicating with me overall I had a great experience. The food was really good rum punch was flowing and music created the perfect vibe. My ONLY con is that I think there were to many ppl on the boat for the size it made it hard to find a place to relax other than that we enjoyed our experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks for the booking. You cancelled it twice for some reason and then the location for your pick up was not clear for the pick up but we got it done in the end. I do not understand why you could not find a place to relax as the boat had 10 spaces less than full. Maybe next time you could investigate the price of a private charter just for the 5 of you. Thanks for the kind words . Regards Graham

Great time with friendly...

Tomasz_K, Jun 2026

Great time with friendly staff aboard catamaran and best snorkeling experience ever + great food and unlimited cold as ice local deputy lager beer 🍺

Great food and great...

Chris_M, Jun 2026

Great food and great people. Good music snd good experience. We had a great time with the team. Will surely recommend to others.

Average, would recommend if on a budget

Laura_M, Jun 2026

Pros: 1) hotel pickup 2) staff was super attentive with drinks, food and quiet friendly Cons: 1) boat was a little on the older side and seating was limited. It was a mad dash to be able to find a place to sit 2) no turtles except at the dock. I know you cannot guarantee sightings, but considering the owner was feeding the dock turtles lettuce and encouraging us to photograph them, that should have been a huge clue we weren’t actually going to swim with any turtles. Three stingrays and a Turpin were as good as it got.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We see turtles on the turtle stop for snorkeling virtually 99% of the time but no boats saw any turtles when snorkeling on this day. I do not feed turtles on the dock because you will not see turtles during your cruise. This is an added bonus. No catamaran cruises start out there cruise in Barbados that i know of which have 5 or 6 turtles aroud their boat. Of course i encourage them by feeding lettuce. Seeing turtles at any time is a wonderful experience and i can say that as i see them every day. We saw and swam with 3 turtles just yesterday. Mad rush for seating?? Passengers get on the boat one by one assisted by the crew and this is how we board. Occasionally I may have an inpatient person jump the line in order to secure a space which they have seen while in the queue. That is a rare occurrence as most travellers are well mannered. Thanks for the feedback. We can't please all of the people all of the time but according to the reviews we please most of the travellers most of the time. Thanks Graham

Fantastic snorkeling and turtle excursion in Barbados

Madison_S, Jun 2026

Best excursion we did during our stay in Barbados! This was so fun, relaxing and beautiful. We were able to snorkel with fins around the shipwrecks and with turtles. They also had life vests or noodles for those that wanted to float around and snorkel or just lounge in the water. The food was delicious and drinks were nonstop. Colleen, Shawn and Dylan took great care of us. Would recommend for anyone considering this trip. Well worth the money spent!

Best catamaran trip we have ever done

Helen_j, Jun 2026

Kristen_B, Jun 2026
