Great tour. Christopher and Marlon were very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They knew where to go for the best snorkeling in the area. They were very attentive to safety. The sailing was very peaceful and relaxing. Having a small group made it very personable. The catamaran was very nice as well.

It was a great decision to book this tour. We were lucky that we were just 4 people on the boat. It couldn’t get more private than this. Chris was a great host. Both the snorkeling and sailing experience was fabulous.

If you are looking for a small group catamaran outing look no further then Small Cat Catamaran and snorkeling. Great relaxed vibe, reliable transportation provided by Robert to dock and back, fun snorkeling in Carlisle bay to see 3 ship wrecks, Sea turtles and Tarpin, amazing sailing time along west coastline. Lunch was fabulous and crew made sure cold drinks were always available! Thanks captain Christopher and first mate Nickel. My wife and I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend. Note this is a smaller catamaran boat making for a more personal experience. We had 8 passengers on board and the experience was fabulous!!! do the five hour with lunch as opposed to only the three hour without lunch.

Crew was great, spots not so much.

Tyler_M, Mar 2026

The crew and boat were awesome. Getting from port to boat was easy and efficient. But snorkeling spots were over crowded. And you have 30 groups all trying to see turtles.

Great experience

A fun day with Christopher! If you want a small group experience, this is for you! We had a great day snorkeling and sailing.

Loved that it was a small...

Marni_W, Mar 2026

Loved that it was a small group experience. Friendly and knowledgeable crew, very attentive. First snorkel stop to see turtles and tarpon, second stop to see shipwrecks/fish

Great trip

Gerald_M, Feb 2026

Really enjoyed the snorkeling/sailing adventure on the Small Cats catamaran. The staff communicated well about weather and snorkeling conditions, crew was skilled and friendly and shuttle pickup was timely. We dove on two wrecks and another spot for turtles 😎

Small Cat Catamaran 5 hr tour.

Private

Josee_H, Feb 2026

Very fun that it’s private and only a few guests other then your own party. We were seeing big catamerans that were packed and this was so much more fun. My group we were 4 and in total we were 9. Drinks were included and there was also music. Would 100% recommend. No issues to get picked up from cruise port and dropped back off in time.

Nice Trip - Small Boat

Lynne_S, Jan 2026

This is a nice trip. The craft is small and has 10 persons max with 2 crew. I think it should be 8 persons plus crew for more comfort. Rum punch was tasty and the water in Barbados is amazing.

Awesome -experience even if you are the least bit hesitant-group was always guided throughout the 3 hours-

Christiane_L, Jan 2026

Definitely a must see if you haven’t been snorkelling or viewed shipwrecks underwater - even some history and sightseeing interspersed

Tarpon, Shipwrecks, and a Stingray! Oh, my!

Nancy_S, Dec 2025

This was a wonderful snorkeling experience! There were only six passengers and one crew member, so we didn't feel lost in a big group. We had only booked the excursion the day before, and Robert, our driver, was able to pick us up and return us to our hotel; that saved us about $40 in cab rides! Christopher took us on board the small catamaran and he took excellent care of us; he made sure we were comfortable on the cat and in the water. We made two stops. The first was to see turtles and tarpon. The turtles stayed on the sand at the bottom of the water, so they were hard to see, but we did see a couple and we saw lots of tarpon. The second stop was at the shipwrecks. Christopher guided us in the water to about three of them. We saw lots of fish and a stingray in addition to the wreckage. Afterward, Christopher treated us to a sail along the waterfront, actually using the sails. It was a very pleasant experience!
