This was an amazing boat ride. Despite it being a bit rainy on our day, the crew was so friendly and fun. We had an amazing time and there was never a dull moment. The cruise was beautiful, and Rick’s Cafe was amazing vibes. Definitely recommend booking this experience, it was 10/10!

Fun activity!

Micaela_P, Sep 2025
I booked this activity last minute, but it turned into such a core memory—I had the best time ever! The people on the boat were so much fun, the snorkeling was one of the best I’ve ever done, and we danced all day. I’d highly recommend this to anyone passing through Jamaica!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave your review and giving us the opportunity to show you our beautiful island, we look forward to sailing with you when you return One Love

Awesome time good price

Andrades_B, Sep 2025
Everything was great the director CT keep the party going. Good energy, good fun, great atmosphere and beautiful water. We enjoyed this and would do it again.

Unsatisfactory

Melinda_v, Aug 2025
Bring food because the wait times at margaritaville and ricks cafe are long, and you won’t have time to enjoy the places waiting on the food you order..

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi you left our cruise a 1 star because you had to wait to be served food at a restaurant that we don’t control?? That’s not our fault in any way

Who jah bless .

Rayvon_S, Aug 2025
The staff are all kind and approachable great vibes throughout . Danca Mon knows how to interact with the crowd very well keeping everyone involved very gifted . The music was great the rum punch was even better lOl

3 hr ride on nomination day

Robyn_B, Aug 2025
Nobody notified us that it was nomination day and that the streets were packed with both political parties. It was supposed to be an hour and a half ride which was over 3 hrs. Nothing shouldve been booked on this day and my family shouldn't have been put in this situation. There was also nothing to see on the snorkel part.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We are not responsible for traffic.. businesses do not close for nominations..

Would do it again

Cara_M, Aug 2025
Great time! Even though it started to rain really hard we all still had a lot of fun. Snorkeling was nice too.

It’s okay

Courtney_R, Aug 2025
The host for the cruise was good, really entertained us as much as he could. But the sound kept cutting out on the boat which was killing the little vibe we had. I went with 5 of my mates, the party vibes that we saw online weren’t the same when we done the cruise, maybe that was due to there being not a lot of people. The rum punch was nice. The snacks were rubbish. Vibe was okay. Good boat but too many technical issues on this cruise. As long as they fix it then you should be good. We went on Jamaica Independence Day so we thought it would be busy and have a lot of people but that weren’t the case at all so be mindful when picking your days. I’d just say overall, it was a nice ride, the snorkelling was alright. Probably better if you could breathe in the goggles. Ritz cafe was cool and margarita ville was nice. Just sound issues which interrupted the party vibes massively. But go at your own wish.

The music, MC, DJ were...

Stephanie_D, Jul 2025
The music, MC, DJ were all very entertaining and kept the party going. The drinks are ok. However, a 4-5 hour catamaran cruise with like 10 bags of chips is not light snacks. They must do better with snacks offering more and better. They ran out of chips within 5 minutes of the trip starting.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Glad you enjoyed your cruise Thanks for your review

Amazing

Kayla_C, Jun 2025
The entertainment was just over all amazing. The drinks was strong and flowing, had us dancing the whole time!

Vanessa_J, Jun 2025
This was fun and a big party. Chocolate thunder (the MC) was awesome. Music was on point along with the drinks. Rick’s cafe was good and the jerk chicken sandwich was amazing.

Didn’t get to go to Ricks...

Anna_D, Jun 2025
Didn’t get to go to Ricks and jump - generic kind of party cat with what seemed like apt of locals and Bartender seemed very disgruntled.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We do offer a bus if the ocean is too rough to dock at ricks cafe , ricks cafe is always weather permitting. If the ocean is rough RICKS WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO CLIFF JUMP EITHER FOR SAFETY REASONS ..

Amazing shenanigan's onboard!

Denise_C, Jun 2025
There's not enough amazing things to say about this crew and the trip itself! We left from Margaritaville and from there it was non-stop music, shenanigan's and booze! I would call this the rated R version of the Booze Cruise Negril! Lol. So many enjoyed the snorkeling (I'm not a strong swimmer, so I didn't go), but the summary on the boat and at Rick's was amazing! We even got our picture taken ❤️

A Time Was Had

Kimberly_F, May 2025
Dress to get wet as you are expected to walk in waste deep water to the catamaran. The tour guide was full of energy, the DJ was on fire and the Rim Punch was nice and strong.

erica_l, May 2025
That during inclement weather it should be canceled. It rained pretty hard and the boat was extremely packed leaving almost nowhere to sit.

Don’t bother @ Ricks Cafe

Kevin_G, Apr 2025
A quick rushed, money making waste of time? Every thing hurried, no time to enjoy the FAST FOOD on offer, and a very dangerous transfer from catermaran to little boat, then transfer from little boat to steps at Ricks cafe

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi , we don’t understand your review the cruise is 4 hours that’s not a rushed excursion, the transfer is the same for every boat that docks at ricks cafe, we all have the same steps,

Don’t book

Brooke_D, Mar 2025
You have to walk through the sea to get on the boat, snacks are not provided if you call a packet of cheap crisps a snack then fair play. Not worth the money at all, not enough time at ricks cafe, very dangerous in awful weather. (They didn’t cancel even in awful conditions)

Response from Host, Apr 2025

This is a water excursion, you have to walk into water to get on every boat in negril as there are no boat docks, the snacks and chips are onboard. All boats only offer 1 hours at ricks cafe unless you have a private boat for your group only but that isn’t what you paid for , I don’t understand your complaint as there’s 2 review that we put into viator for the same day and they had the best time ever …5 stars The weather wasn’t in any way dangerous it was a little drizzle and then it stopped..

Besides the rain...

Lecolbious_W, Mar 2025
Besides the rain everything was great. Great crew and all. Wish we was able to stay at ricks cafe a little longer but other than that it was great

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks so much for your review.. we always aim to please See you next time you’re back One love

Had a blast

ruben_r, Mar 2025
Great experience only complaint would be not enough time at ricks Cafe barely had time to use the bathroom and order food before having to make our way back to the dock to get in the boat. Other than that the team on board was great.

Mahalakshmi_K, Mar 2025
Great fun and had memorable time. The snorkeling, cliff jumping and sunset were just stunning and surely worth the money

Response from Host, Apr 2025

must do!

Falencia_J, Mar 2025
super fun and the host/staff were so nice + they kept the party going. sunset was gorgeous! adults only btw.

Please! Provide transparency and a itinerary before booking

Stone_F, Mar 2025
The times displayed on the booking isn’t the actual time of the excursion/pick up. They tell you the meet up time way too late so if you have something planned you won’t make the excursion nor will you get you money back.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Sir you were sent your pick up times from your resort the day before the cruise, via text to your cell and email also , all times of pick ups are also online in plain view .. we canning pick you up in Montego Bay at 2.30 pm for a cruise that begins at 2.30pm in negril

Crew was amazing and fun....

Jodi_F, Feb 2025
Crew was amazing and fun. Boat was beautiful as well. High winds, big waves made snorkeling a bit difficult. Wished we were given fins also. Did manage to see some fish. Lots of other boats in the same area. Cruise down to Rick's was fun with music and rum punch. Not able to get off at Rick's due to the waves, but they did bus us all back up for an hour. Boyfriend did the cliff dive from 30' so it was worth it to go!! Only negative was the drunk man who was already totally drunk before we even left! Had to start a fight on the boat and his wife had to cause issues again before we got off. Shame people have to be like that.

The excursion process...

AKara_H, Jan 2025
The excursion process started out pretty Rocky. We were told our pickup time was 11:30, the boat did not leave until 2:30 and we were 20mins away. We then ended up sitting on the van until 12:30 because the other side of the resort was given a pickup time of 12:15. We get to the destination around 1 and we were taken to a beach bar to register. We didn’t end up getting onto the boat until after 3. You have to walk through the ocean to get to the boat. The water is calm, but it is about chest height. A lot of our stuff got wet. We had to put our bags on our head. Once we were on the boat it was a good time. The host were a lot of fun. The views were great. Loved snorkeling, but it is for a short amount of time. We went to Rick caffe which was a lot of fun, but it does take a long time to get your food. We were at ricks for about an hour.
