Not as expected

Talisha_M, Mar 2025
We paid for the empress yacht b/c according to the pictures it was a little larger and more coverage from the sun. When we showed up it was a different yacht and when asked about it they quickly said it was out of commission and moved on to another subject without answering all my questions. There were still mangled blankets and balloons from a previous tour below deck. We were also introduced to our “personal photographer” once on the yacht. This wasn’t in the description so it was a surprise to us. But we assumed it was included since we weren’t asked before the cruise if we wanted a photographer. By the end of the tour the photographer started showing us the photos and upselling them. We ended up purchasing since we didn’t take many personal pictures. It would have been nice to know ahead of time. The description also said we would stop to snorkel which was one of the main reasons we booked. The captain gave out life jackets to get in the water and when I asked about snorkel gear he said oh there’s no visibility. This was a huge let down since the kids were looking forward to it. Overall, the crew was nice but the tour just didn’t deliver. ( Viator did give us back the difference in the cost of the boat which I appreciate)

Absolutely amazing...

THE BEST BIRTHDAY FROM THE BEST YATCH CREW!

Tameerah_H, Jun 2024
It was an AMAZING experience, they crew was caring and courteous. I have mobility issues and they made SURE I was comfortable, and made it so I also get my photos taken by the photographer (who by the way was so gentle, professional, and personable. The assured me i was in good hands and they were ABSOLUTELY right. The gentlemen handled me with great strength AND care, and being disabled it's hard for me to comfortable with strangers. The captain tended to all of our needs, kept the drinks and water flowing. The food was GOOD (I especially liked the escovitch fish). The crew decided that there should be a toast in my honor ( my bday), and I just have to say THANK YOU, that was the BEST part of the experience, and the ONE moment during my time in jamaica that I will FOREVER remember. THANK YOU to the crew for providing that moment, the space, and the memory. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!

This was hands down the best part of our trip to the island. We had so much fun, and to have the boat to yourselves was so relaxing! The staff was incredible, and had us laughing and having fun the whole day! We will for sure be coming back to Montego Bay, and this will ALWAYS be a part of what we do when we visit!

We booked a tour for...

TAMARA_B, Oct 2022
We booked a tour for $1800 and they cancelled 40 minutes before the tour claiming that the captain was afraid because of the weather. We had had light sprinkles that morning but the sun was up and shining when they cancelled and promised that we would be refunded. They never did refund us our money stating that it was non refundable. Even though there was nothing preventing us from.going on the tour. Horrible experience and costumer service! Sad to say but this definitely was a scam.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Tamara, it is unfortunate we had this misunderstanding. There was an impending storm and there was no way to operate. As such we communicated with with you the situation and a full refund was offered. When it was communicated to us by Viator that you had not received your refund in a timely manner we immediately remedied the situation and your refund was received and confirmed by you.

Lovely Yacht Tour

Briana_W, Mar 2022
I traveled solo to Jamaica and had a wonderful time. I did the yacht tour on my birthday and let them know I would be arriving alone they made me feel so special. I enjoyed my mimosas, the snacks, the vibe , the music & the view. They also took lovely pictures of me. Everyone was very nice I highly recommend & I definitely will be returning ❤️

Great job on our special day.

Kimani_D, Mar 2022
I was running late and Sauna and her staff was so patient. The captains communicated well and had a lot of knowledge on the history surrounding Montego Bay. I would definitely choose them again.

Best experience

Highlight of our Trip to Jamaica

A tour that I would recommend to anyone! The Captain, Co-Captain, and Host were just amazing. They ensured we were comfortable and had our interests covered throughout the trip. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Jamaica!

My husband's 5th b-day celebration

chrisriangirl72, Dec 2021
All I can is that this was an amazing tour. My husband and friends had a blast! It's so very hard-to-find pin point one area that was better than the next. From the beginning of the cruise until it came to a close was absolutely amazing! Big respect to our Captain, Our lifeguard Owen, our Serve and Suana from the management team. Definitely would recommend this tour to others, be sure to inform the management team, the purpose of the tour, if you're celebrating a bday etc! They'll make it spectacular.

Disappointing

Sarah_H, Nov 2021
I struggle to give this five stars as others because the staff were not very friendly as the other reviews mention! The hostess Shauna was conversant in the beginning while were waiting at the dock due to delay, but afterwards they appeared uninterested to make it a good time. The sea was a little chppy, so the trip was cut short (we were never taken to the lagoon/sancutuary), but we were not offered any other options. Although I attempted contacting them prior to the trip through messages in Viator regarding weather, they had never replied. Also, they had snorkeling gear for only two (we booked for five people). They were eventually able to borrrow extra gears from another vessel on the water, and we were able to use them. Finally, they did not consider kids while ordering food. When I mentioned that the kids may not want the buffalo wings or buffalo shrimps, they just replied that food had already been ordered. My kids barely ate anything on the table. Overall, the service was not worth the price tag.

Best excursion yet! Don't miss this one

LaTisha_G, Nov 2021
This is excursion was the icing on the cake while celebrating my friends birthday in Jamaica. The professionalism, the cleanliness, the food from Margaritaville and the views!!! It will be the first excursion I book upon returning to Jamaica next year. Job well done!
