Fun cruise, music was good, food as well. For sure worth it. Just be weary of the pick up option. They need to be a little better about the communication with that. We had to find our own ride. Luckily the didnt start on time.

On October 2,2025 we was told to be in the lobby of our hotel at approximately 9:40am. My family and I was in the lobby the whole time from 9:20 am waiting until 10:40 am. No driver showed up to pick us up for the excursion I am very disappointed in this company doing business with people who actually want to experience the excursion but never got the opportunity too

The cruise is full of fun. The driver who picked us up from the hotel is extremely patient and friendly. There are a few guests who came out of their hotel room late, he spent extra time waiting for them and make sure everyone get on the cruise.

Tons of food on boat. Chicken tenders, chips and salsa, fruit. Workers were nice and a vibe. Snorkeling was fun and plenty of time to enjoy. Margaritaville if you want to purchase. Close to resorts in Montego Bay

Dan_h, Aug 2025
All in all the tour was mediocre. The crew was very bossy. The DJ/entertainer desperately needs a new tag line instead of yelling "OOHHH MY GODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" over and over into the mic, for what seemed to be hours. That being said the food and drinks were above average for this sort of tour. The music was good. The time at Margarettaville was great.

Alyssa_A, Aug 2025
Our family originally booked this trip for four, but one of us wasn’t feeling well and had to stay behind at the last minute. Our driver, Wayne, went above and beyond to care for our family member. He made sure they had water, shade, and a snack—even though he didn’t have to. He checked in often and even spent time chatting with them, which was both enjoyable and informative. We can’t praise Wayne enough for his kindness and thoughtfulness—we’re so grateful for everything he did.
Another highlight: my daughter lost her Apple Watch while at the water park at Margaritaville. To our amazement, the staff quickly coordinated with the lifeguard and assured us they would retrieve it—and they did! With less than 10 minutes before departure, they managed to recover the watch from the bottom of the bay, and we still left on time. Simply amazing!
As for the trip itself, we had an awesome time. The music was great, the snorkeling was beautiful, and there was more food than we expected. Definitely bring sunscreen and towels, and I’d recommend having some cash on hand if you want to shop or grab a bite at the Margaritaville stop.

Stanley_G, Aug 2025
Great experience and enjoyed the catamaran. The music was amazing. The drinks were great. We were in a good spot for snorkeling without a bunch of reefs so plenty of space to swim and float. They also offered food. This is a great value for what you pay.
The driver taking us to the location was super later and the driver taking us to the hotel was also late. Communication could’ve been better on that end but otherwise the catamaran was great and my family enjoyed it.

I had a good time but there were WAY too many people on the boat. We had to sit on top of the boat and there weren’t any stairs or a ladder to help get up there, so I was constantly having to say excuse me to the people on the bench to step past them that way. Other than that, it was fine.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Theresa_R, Jul 2025
It was a very dry experience. The crew was not engaging did not interact much or give any history just food drink and music. I have had much better experiences. Not worth the money.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hello Theresa,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We regret that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Allow us to clarify that our catamaran cruise is designed to be more of a party-style experience, with a laid-back vibe focused on music, drinks, food, and fun on the water rather than a historical or guided tour.
We understand that this might not be your preference, and we regret if that wasn’t clear ahead of time.
We do appreciate you joining us and taking the time to share your thoughts.

Bianca_L, Jul 2025
Had a great time, the experience and music was wonderful. The only down side was the food ran out before everyone could get some. I would suggest having someone there to portion it out, instead of everyone going in to serve themselves. .
They provide snorkel sets, I would advise bringing your own. The sets they have are clearly used and have bite marks on mouth guard.. although they may sanitize, it’s an uneasy feeling to use. I took my tube off and snorkeled without it.
Other than that, I had the best time!

Hello Bianca,

If you are looking for a soft mellow cruise this is not the cruise for you. If you looking for that turn up party vibe this is definitely it. With a side of snorkeling and local shops. 10 out of 10 will do again.

So much fun! Played music the whole time! Offered life vests and a snorkel! You do not have to snorkel if you don’t want to snorkel you could just swim as well! It is like a party boat tho! I loved it! If you want peaceful peace and quiet this is not the excursion for you! Offered snacks but you had to pay as well as drinks. Stopped at this little restaurant with water slides as well. Fun time!

The boat was over crowded and we had to stand unless we were snorkeling. They told us to remove our shoes/sandals before getting on the boat. The boat floor was extremely hot especially not having a seat. We did not finish the ride. We got off at margaritaville. The staff were great. The pick up on point. We won't book a party boat with Viator maybe another excursion.
