We had an awesome time doing a snorkel catamaran cruise. The guides Jermayne, Brandon and Toby were awesome. So nice! Super knowledgeable and made some killer swizzle drinks for us. Would absolutely do this again and would recommend this crew to anyone.

We arrived 20 minutes prior to the excursion time and waited. We were escorted to the boat after 9 and the boat was full of people already. This excursion was sold to a Norwegian ship and they gave them priority seating. We had to squeeze in and people weren’t happy we made them move their bags off the seat for us. It was very awkward. We finally started moving out to the location to snorkel after 10 more minutes. The captain was very good at telling us info and stories about the island. The ride was slow and smooth. Once at the spot we disembarked and some snorkeled, some just floated around for about an hour. They gave us one rum swizzle while I was floating on the water. My husband was not offered one since he was snorkeling. When the time was up we boarded and headed back. The cash Bar was open for everyone.
It was a quick trip. I would have liked it more if we weren’t so crowded. I’ve done other catamaran trips and had a lot more fun than this one.

We had a fantastic time on the Rising Son Catamaran Adventure! The crew was friendly, welcoming, and provided outstanding hospitality from start to finish. We enjoyed learning about Bermuda’s history while cruising through the beautiful turquoise waters, and the rum swizzle was excellent! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bermuda.

We had a wonderful, relaxing experience! The captain and the other two crew members were informative, fun, and incredibly friendly, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The drinks were both affordable and delicious. Make sure to bring some cash if you want additional drinks after the free one!
We got lucky and only had a few groups on our excursion, so it never felt crowded. They provided plenty of snorkeling gear, and there was some coral where we saw several fish. There were also two paddleboards and one kayak available. However, since the boat can accommodate up to 60 passengers, those might be in high demand on a fuller trip.
One of the highlights was cruising along the beautiful limestone shoreline—it made for some great views. Overall, I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day on the water.

What a wonderful time captain Steve and his fabulous crew of 4 were so much fun. We had a great day and swimming in the beautiful cove snorkeling seeing coral and a few parrot fish! We were able to jump off the Admiral cliff and climb up the spiral staircase through the rock cliff. So cool! Would definitely do this again. Better than booking through cruise excursion.

This doesn’t reflect on the operator in any way , but if you looking predominantly fir a snorkeling experience or a bit of sightseeing of Bermuda, this is not an excursion for u.
Sabrina_L, Jun 2026
It was such a great experience! This excursion has it all!! We swam, used paddle boats and kayaks: We snorkeled into caves and finished the day off with great drinks! W would go again.
Kylie_K, Jun 2026
The crew is absolutely awesome and dedicated to making sure everyone has a great time! We did both the sunset and snorkel tour and couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Staff was great, supplied anything we needed. Very relaxing. Was also very fun using the sail to get back to the dockyars.
Carrie_K, Apr 2026
Last minute plan for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. We couldn't have found a better crew to spend the day with! Lovely and clean catamaran, professional, friendly and knowledgeable crew that truly made for an outstanding trip for our family! Thank you for the incredible memories!

We’ve done many catamaran/snorkeling excursions on many different islands over the years and this one was far and away the best one. Laid back, good music, but not so loud you walk away with a headache, and enough rum swizzles to make your head spin. The Bermudian waters are exceptional. Spent well over an hour snorkeling and and saw tons of fish, swam back to the boat then jumped aboard a paddle-board for some more fun. Our cruise even featured Mister Westley (the captains French Bulldog) who made friends with everyone. Highly recommend!
Christina_B, Oct 2025
This was such a fun experience for our whole family! The crew was so knowledgeable about the history of the island and really got to know everyone on board and they made everyone comfortable. Run swizzles were given out and refilled. We got to snorkel, paddle board, swim, and jump off the top of the boat, and my daughter got to steer the boat! Would highly recommend this to others!
Brian_K, Sep 2025
Great activities and fun and engaged crew. Loved Wesley! The cliff jumping and quiet bay we visited made the experience!
Richard_P, Sep 2025
Great experience. Calm sea, Great crew, good views and stories, and a lot of fun activities when we anchored. Jermaine, the captain, was a fun and impressive young man!

Low key & relaxing. The crew was a lot of fun and personable. Beautiful Bermuda is a must do excursion.
Madison_K, Aug 2025
We had a great time! Captain Sam and the crew were super friendly and helpful. The boat was comfortable - not over crowded. Sailed to a great spot! Rum swizzles were tasty & reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!
Mike_O, Aug 2025
Great experience! The crew was wonderful and the trip was everything they advertised - lots to do at the cove with snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, and even caves to explore.
Thomas_H, Jul 2025
Very fun and well organized the crew was helpful and safety was there number one. My family enjoyed the whole trip
Gillian_M, Jul 2025
The crew were very helpful, knowledgeable and fun to be with. The Rising Son was a good boat, well equipped with gear, snorkels, flippers, body boards and kayaks. I think that the only thing that let it down was that we sailed out of the harbour to Deep Bay and stayed there for one hour forty five minutes and then back. Having been to Bermuda before there weren’t any of the beautiful parrot fish to be found in that area. In fact I only saw a few small fish while snorkelling which was disappointing. Two stops for shorter periods would give people a better glimpse of the Islands beauty.
EliZabeth_C, Jul 2025
Excellent experience! saw plenty of fish snorkeling and was a nice boat ride. Very hospitable and we loved the dog on board very cute.
Conor_O, Jul 2025
Excellent experience in the boat, and a fantastic crew. We had a 20 minute sail over to the snorkel spot, which was lovely and offered multiple options such as swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding. The crew was fantastic in their ability to provide great information but also excitement and a great atmosphere.
Erin_M, Jul 2025
We had a great time on the Rising Son! I lounged on my noodle and my husband and sons (19 and 16) snorkeled. The crew paddled out to us and refilled our rum punch which was so fun! Thank you to Capt. Sam, Abby, Matty and Zeeks for a great time!
Kirk_K, Jul 2025
Well organized adventure with best in class Captain and Mates! We had so much fun enjoying the amazing water while snorkeling, floating, sea kayaking, paddle boarding and cliff jumping. Highly recommend-great value/experience versus all of the other providers that we’ve used on previous trips to Bermuda.
Mindy_O, Jul 2025
Boat was great! Lots of space for a lot of people to be comfortable. The captain and mates were very friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a lot of info in the beginning and answered questions we had about the island. You could purchase a rum swizzle heading out to the spot. Free on the way back. With some complications with the sail which wasted some time and drifting problems where we had to move (which took up some more time, they made it right and offered free drinks for the entire time.
They had 1 paddle board and 1 kayak to use, which was nice but I think they could have another of both. We wanted to cliff jump so they parked us near by a spot but we didn’t need to because they allowed us to jump off the boat roof!! Which my kids loved(and myself lol) They thoroughly explained the gear ( snorkel,mask, flippers and life vest) so everyone knew how to use it and there was plenty of them for all. Each snorkel and mask was in sanitized solution so you knew you were grabbing a clean one. We hung out for about hour and half and head back. There were some small reefs nearby were we went. We saw some fish but I guess I was expecting more reefs. But we did see fish in the small ones near by.
Price was good considering the price of gas there and the booze we drank lol.
Overall it was a great day beside some small suggestions of mor SUP board and kayak.
Holly_B, Jul 2025
Super chill experience! Crew was knowledgeable about the island, boating and snorkeling! The boat only had 1 paddle board and 1 kayak so you'll have to wait your turn but the rum punch kept coming! Recommend this boat!
Audrey_C, Jun 2025
Perfect trip! The crew was friendly, sailing was great, some jellyfish issues but there was a quick shift to another location which ended up being perfect! Rum swizzles were yummy!
Michelle_M, Jun 2025
