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

Such a fun experience. The first couple stops for snorkeling you can honestly get to yourself if you have the correct tools (snorkel and goggles). It's really just off of Browne's Beach. However, the catamaran experience is 100% worth it because they take us down the south end of the island and you get to experience the Sun and a traditional buffet lunch. Much better than the typical soggy sandwich and chips that you would get in the U.S. The open bar is legit. They will get you as many drinks as you ask for. Totally worth it!

If I am going to the Caribbean, I will always find myself on a catamaran ride, and this one did not disappoint! My friends and I had an absolutely amazing time. The water was stunningly beautiful, and we got to see tons of colorful fish and sea turtles.
My absolute favorite part of the day was snorkeling over the shipwreck—it was such a fascinating experience. To top it all off, the food was delicious, the drinks from the open bar were constantly flowing , and the crew kept the good vibes going. We all had a wonderful time and made some incredible memories.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks very much for this wonderful review and I am glad you had a marvellous ride. Thanks Graham

The experience was beautiful. The staff was kind and attentive. Shawn took care of me in the water and allowed me to enjoy, I was nervous because I’m not a swimmer.
Response from Host, May 2026
Ok thanks very much for your kind words and I am glad your experience with Shawn was good. He has been with us the longest. Thanks Graham

Amazing Trip! Super Valued!!
Food and Drink were EXCELLENT!!
Capt Graham and his Crew are Awesome! Great Sites to See!
Water and Snorkeling were Top Notch!
karissa_m, May 2026
We saw 2 sea turtle in the marina while boarding the catamaran. Then when we went in the water we saw one more sea turtle and 2 sting rays along with a variety of fish. They take you around a shipwreck when snorkeling and lunch was very good. The crew was amazing too.
Ann_K, May 2026
What a great experience! Graham was a delight to communicate with and always response. The crew was amazing, service wise making sure everyone was comfortable & needs met. The crew Safety consciousness was beyond expectations.
Tanya_T, May 2026
It was great, we loved it, drinks and food were on point too. Everything was explained before we left and all went as planned.
Declan_M, May 2026
Exceptional experience. Captain Graham and crew Dylan were fantastic. The trip lasted around 6 hours, Dylan offered us a drink the moment we got on board to set you at ease. Both so friendly and eager to chat. The first snorkelling takes place quickly after getting on board so you're in the water early. The views in the water are unbelievable. The second snorkeling area has so much beautiful coral to swim round. The lunch was also lovely. An all round great experience
Theon_K, May 2026
One of best activities you could do if this your first time here graham and his crew take care of you they pick you up and take you back safely all you got to do is relax and enjoy yourself definitely recommend.
Taneisha_c, May 2026
Transportation picked up on time. Colin and Dylan were nice. Dylan helped me find the sea turtles in the water. Drinks kept coming and food was delicious. They just need to update their playlist and advise people to hold on to their items when the wind gets high.
Lisa_P, May 2026
We had a wonderful time with the crew of the Stilleto. Although the turtles didn't turn up in big numbers, we did see a few. The shining star, however, was the wonderful crew. We couldn't have asked for a more professional or friendly crew. They were just lovely. The drinks were flowing, the food was great & beautiful Barbados really showed herself. We loved it.
Carole_B, May 2026
Brilliant time had looked after really well would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see turtles fish and the shipwrecks

Linda_S, Apr 2026
I booked the cruise that was ‘“up to 12” people but there was twice if not more … disappointed all the crew was fabulous and had a good time but again not what I booked
Response from Host, Apr 2026
This woman did not book the smaller catamaran Supercats which takes max 12 with product code 46499p5. She booked the larger catamaran Stiletto which takes max 26 with product code 46499p1. She should check product codes before writing that I put her on the wrong boat before writing a review. I can only place travellers according to product codes that travellers choose.I do not do such things. At least she said good things about my wonderful crew. Graham
Angus_F, Apr 2026
We had a great time out on Stiletto with Graham and his team. The vibe on the boat was great and the snorkelling with turtles, rays and fish was an amazing experience. We were always being offered refreshments and the lunchtime meal was very good. We would absolutely recommend for anyone considering it during their time in Barbados
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks very much for taking the time to do this review for us. We appreciate you coming on the boat too. See you next time. Thanks Graham
Jacquie_W, Apr 2026
From start to finish this was a fabulous experience. Well looked after, well fed and watered. My friend felt a little sea sick, they gave her medication and within 20 she was enjoying the trip again. The second snorkelling stop I felt I was in a tropical fish tank. The colours and amount of fish was amazing.
Chad_D, Apr 2026
Well maintained boat. Not too large of a crowd. Very attentive crew. The food and rinks were plentiful. The stops for snorkeling were fun and saw a ton of colorful fish in addition to a sting ray. Saw turtles in the bay before setting sail.
kimberly_s, Apr 2026
I can only say amazing. Great tour guide. Charles was amazing knew the history of country. We actually had a great time. If you want a great experience you should definitely do this tour . Make sure you have Charles because he can match any personality. Oh and we stopped at all the stops just didn’t drive past them while learning about them, like other tours so. Absolutely should take this tour.
MELISSA_M, Apr 2026
Excellent service and the crew was amazing! Drinks and food were delicious! Would definitely recommend!!
Andrea_A, Apr 2026
This was an incredible experience. The crew was friendly and attentive and provided fantastic service. The food was great and the portions were huge so you could try new things. The snorkeling was beautiful and we saw all kinds of amazing sea creatures. I also really appreciated that this boat was not overbooked with people and had adequate shaded areas to relax in (which many of the other boats did not have). Would absolutely recommend booking this tour.
kithy_s, Apr 2026
Very nice team they make you feel comfortable and welcoming! They gave us drinks and beers none stop and also the food and bread pudding they provided was delicious 💯💯🫶🏻
Nur_Y, Apr 2026
Second time doing a tour with Graham. He and his crew are the best. They helped my old parents get on and off the boat and kept serving them food and drinks
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for going on the cruise and saying such kind words again and again. Have a great holiday and Happy Easter. Graham
Kevin_H, Apr 2026
Wonderful day exploring Barbados by water. The catamaran was not overly filled, making it comfortable to move around The staff was engaging, but at the same time, considerate of my time to just stare out over the ocean.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for this great review and yes the happiest place on earth is just sitting on a catamaran and looking out to sea. No stress on the water. That is the place to be. Thanks Graham
Peter_M, Apr 2026
This is a very good tour. The staff were very accommodating; the catamaran was great; and the meal was delicious. Snorkeling over the ship wrecks was fantastic and the turtles were very cool. Would recommend highly.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
So glad you had a wonderful trip on the day. Thanks for doing this review and helping us to get more business. Graham
Krisshala_S, Apr 2026
Lovely experience! I met people from around the world. I wasn't the strongest swimmer and turned back on the turtle stop but the team onboard made sure to assist me on the shipwreck stop so I can truly enjoy the experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks very much and I am glad you had a good experience. Thanks for the review . Graham
Pedro_W, Apr 2026
We had an incredible catamaran cruise with Graham and his crew! From the punctual hotel pickup to the great music and non-stop drink service, everything was top-notch.
They were especially wonderful during our snorkel stop, providing extra support and care to the less confident swimmers, which made everyone feel safe and included. The food was delicious, and while there was a small mix-up with a pre-ordered vegan meal, the crew was so genuinely apologetic and attentive that it didn’t ruin our day at all. They truly care about their guests' experience. Highly recommended for a fun, well-run day on the water!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It is so nice of you to write us this email about your cruise even after I forgot to order that special meal. I am glad there were other things to eat from the buffet and we got through. I am glad you had a great sail but you promised me to go in the water next time under my care. Thanks for doing this review and giving a high rating. Regards Graham

This is in essence a booze cruise with a snorkel pit stop. Do not book this tour if you want: a) to see turtles (the only one we saw were at the marina before we boarded the boat), b) a small group-there were at least two dozen plus people packed onto this catamaran (there weren’t even enough life vests), c) a usable toilet during your trip and d) anything other than dealing with intoxicated obnoxious tourists. I thought I was booking a simple snorkel tour, focus on snorkel: the focus of this endeavor was copious consumption of alcohol and aimless waiting (at the dock for late arrivers, in the ocean for a usable anchor). Not sure where the snacks come in but we weren’t offered anything except a half a piece of banana bread 4 hours into the tour. I don’t even care about the money I spent on this tour, I want the time back because this was a total waste of a day on an otherwise amazing island.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
When tourist do not see turtles when snorkeling it can lead to negative reviews. This is why we feed turtles on the dock and see at least 3 each morning before we leave and not just one. We very rarely do not see turtles while snorkeling and there is maybe a 5% of the cruises that this might happen. If you read the product code we have a snack of Banana bread after snorkeling around 12 and NOT 4 hours into the charter which would be 2 pm which would be after the lunch. Slight exaggeration noted. This is a slice and not a half slice per person and lots left over for seconds. We also serve coconut bread as a snack after lunch on the sail home. This man asked the captain for 3 small life jackets as he had 4 children and the 4th one did not need a jacket. We have all life jackets for everyone who are booked on the cruise and extras down stairs still in the package. If you read the product again the maximum on this catamaran cruise does say 26 for group charters and that was the number booked last Tuesday. We do not pack them on like sardines but find this number to be very comfortable. As for it being a booze cruise well some days I can go through a lot of beer and others none so it is just the luck of the draw sir. We have no control over the number of drinks served during a cruise as it is included or the number of turtles seen as they are wild animals who can be swimming in the wild. While we try our best to please all the people all the time and do have lots of satisfied customers sadly it is impossible to please all the people all of the time. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Barbados. Regards Graham

A fun experience! We didn’t get to see the turtles outside of the marina, but we did see some beautiful fish around the shipwrecks. The snorkeling was in calm waters, not too far from shore which was very nice for some of our more inexperienced snorkelers. Food was amazing!!!! The crew was great, very attentive, constantly asking who needed drinks so the rum punch was flowing.
Laura_L, Mar 2026
Excellent crew, lunch, and beautiful sailing. The snorkeling spots on our trip were disappointing in my opinion. Would have been better if we had stopped in Carlisle Bay. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Ok sometimes we do different spots for snorkeling but we have had better results on the turtle stop in Holetown. Thanks for the review. Graham
