Clear departure instructions and friendly/knowledgeable staff helped to make this one of our favorite excursions. We will definitely book again in the future. We had wind and actually sailed!!! (Rare for a catamaran excursion in our experience). For our Norman Island day we had three different snorkel experiences, a quick stop at Willie Ts, and a well prepared lunch.

Flo and Leydi took incredible care of our family! They provided a safe experience and wonderful information. I highly recommend going with their tour over a larger cruise-organized snorkel trip. Excellent snorkel spots, amazing lunch and great company!

    Fantastic snorkeling! We stopped at 3 different spots and each was a unique experience. So many fish and we saw several sea turtles. The crew (Flo and Lady) were fantastic, and while we had some rain, we still had a great time! Highly recommend this company and excursion. We were cruise ship passengers and this fit nicely with our stop.

    JoAnn_L, May 2026
    Captain Flo and Lady were friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable. Great morning of sailing to the Caves. Too windy to go to the Indian. Nice snorkeling in and around the caves. There wasn't much to see though. Second spot was also nice. Overall, it was fun and relaxing!

    5 stars for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    BEST excursion of our cruise . We had that ‘picture perfect ‘ day in beautiful Tortola to sail on the catamaran and snorkel in 3 different locations… fish , turtles and stingrays along with the beautiful underwater landscapes . James and Maddie ( spelling ) were a great team and so personable … lots of drink options and a tasty lunch .lucky to have a great group of fellow travelers on board that day also and back at the port with plenty of time before gangplank up !

    Fantastic tour

    Valerie_H, Apr 2026
    It was a wonderful tour. Captain James and Madison did a great job. Couldn’t have been better.. They took us too many snorkeling spots and provided as everything we needed.

    Best sail experience on Tortola

    Rod_M, Apr 2026
    It was the highlight of my trip to Tortola. Captain Flo and first mate Lady make to trip extra special. They went out of their way to make sure we all had an exceptional experience. They were both very experienced and incredibly capable sailors. Don’t sail with any other company. Literally saw 50 different types of fish as well as sea turtles. Absolutely amazing time.

    A must if visiting Tortola

    The crew was outstanding! Informative, witty, and extremely hospitalble. James and Maddie were top notch.

    This was the best excursion ever! The crew were amazing. Other people on our cruise had there excursions cancelled due to wind and waves. Ours stayed on track and the captain was amazing! Set sail and we enjoyed every min of it. Thank you crew for a perfect day celebrating me and my wife’s 25th anniversary.

    Best snorkeling that we had in 5 different cruise ports. Crew was wonderful & actually sailed twice in the day (most will motor all day). Very casual yet safe experience.

    The trip was fantastic! We saw rays and turtles and had a great time. The staff was very helpful and even helped when my 6 year old son was reluctant to snorkel. I would definitely recommend!
