We had a great time on this catamaran tour down the coast. The boat was great, the crew was so fun, the snorkeling was perfect, and it was just a picturesque day overall. The crew worked really hard to make sure everyone had fun (and everyone did!) Would absolutely recommend this as a must-experience excursion for anyone visiting the island!

The crew was awesome and...

Kinzie_E, Jan 2026
The crew was awesome and fun, however our trip was not as advertised. We set out to pick up people from three pick up points and then went to another resort’s snorkeling spot to snorkel. It felt very thrown together and while the snorkeling was average, we were with a lot of other snorkelers at the resort along with the boat load that we brought and the area was off shore and very small.

Too loud

Starla_B, Dec 2025
Music is LOUD and too much partying during sunset. Would like to have had a quiet or less distraction during the main event.

Great place to watch the sunset on the boat

Katie_W, Apr 2025
Great trip with Carnival Sailing, stopped at Sugar Beach for swimming and snorkelling, great views of the pitons, lots of opportunities to take photos, on the way back music and dancing as the sun set. The bar was open for the whole trip so lots of beer and rum punch. Would 100% recommend, our taxi did arrive before our confirmed time, lucky we were ready and the hotel called us, so thanks Groovy for waiting for us. You will enjoy this trip 👍😎🍻⛵️☀️☀️☀️☀️

They didn't show up, we lost one entire day

Antoine_N, Oct 2024
We came 15 minutes before to be on time and waited for 2h the driver to pick us up at the hotel lobby. He never came and never called. We tried to contact the company, they never answered. We spent more than an hour on the phone with Viator trying to find a solution and an explanation. Viator said that the company had no explanation. We could eventually get a refund but we lost an entire day and had to book another trip another day with another company. If the driver shows up it's okay but if he doesn't you'll be screwed so I recommend you to book this trip with another company. There are plenty of them and you can book directly from many hotels here for the same price. Voilà voilà, bonnes vacances:)

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello Antoine, Thank you for sharing your experience. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the driver not showing up. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and I understand your frustration. We are taking your feedback seriously to improve our communication and reliability in the future. If you have any further concerns or if there’s anything we can do to make this right, please feel free to reach out to us at customersupport@islandroutes.com. Thank you for your understanding. Best, IR Experience

Such a wonderful experience - highly recommended

Joanna_M, May 2024
A cruise along the beautiful west coast of the island, with an interesting and informative commentary. We then pulled into a protected bay to snorkel along the reef in clear blue water. There were plentiful drinks (rum punch, beers & soft drinks) throughout and canapés on the cruise back at sunset. It was a orth every single penny.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hello Joanna, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our cruise along the west coast. We're thrilled that you had a truly memorable time. We hope we will get another chance to host you in the future. Best, IR Experience

Sugar Beach, Marigot Bay, Pitons, and a beautiful sunset!

Rashad_S, Apr 2024
I enjoyed our stop at Sugar Beach. The snorkeling was fun and the beach is beautiful. The staff were fun and very nice. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed myself. What an awesome way to spend a birthday!

Sunset Catamaran Cruise

Frederick_W, Oct 2023
The crew was excellent: attentive, friendly, helpful. Fun cruise; too bad the original catamaran had engine problems.

11/10 recommend!!!

Ashley_F, May 2023
I would rate this excursion 10 stars if I could. The driver taking me to the boat picked me up right on time and the entire crew on the boat was friendly and interactive. The boat was big enough to fit everyone and not feel crammed. We sailed to Sugar Beach where we went snorkeling and then enjoyed an open bar with appetizers and great music on the way back as we watched the sunset. I wish I could have done this every night of my trip. Special S/O to the captain Craig!

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello Ashley, Thank you for sharing your exceptional experience with us! We are delighted to know that our driver ensured a punctual pickup and the entire crew on the boat provided a friendly and interactive experience for you. We are glad to hear that you had a great time immersing yourself in the music and exploring the breath-taking underwater world. Additionally, it is wonderful that you thoroughly enjoyed the open bar, appetizers, and the mesmerizing sunset view. We greatly appreciate your special shout-out to Captain Craig! Our crew members, including Captain Craig, strive to provide exceptional service, and we will make sure to pass along your appreciation to him. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Do visit again the future as it will be our pleasure. Best, IR Guest Experience

Scam: we were told the wrong pickup time and refused help

Rheanna_M, Apr 2023
We were told the wrong pickup time so missed the cruise which I had planned as my birthday celebration. When we tried to reach out to have it rectified, 1.5 hours on the phone later and the customer service was no use. It was a horrible experience that ruined our day. Would not recommend unless you’re willing to be scammed.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello Rheanna, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us! We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication with your pickup information. Rest assured that this is not the norm for our company and we truly regret that you had a negative experience. Please contact customersuppport@islandroutes.com so that we can investigate the matter. Best, IR Guest Experience

Great cruise itself but pick up / drop-off could be improved

Rasmus_B, Jun 2019
Great crew on board, very friendly and quick service at the open bar. Cruise was good and with some commentary around St Lucia and the sights we passed, great view of the Pitons as we approached. The snorkeling was great and we were free to explore a reef on our own for a good half hour with all equipment provided. The pick up was alright with the typical pains of stopping at multiple resorts to pick up more guests. On the way back they seemed to have an issue with a bus which lead to our bus being very full and going to fairly remote resorts to drop off guests. It took around 30 mins to get from hotel to cruise and over an hour on the way back. Could have been a one-off as they mentioned some bus problems.
