Amazing time! The crew was incredibly nice, kept waters and drinks flowing, and even sang happy birthday to my wife. Saw lots of dolphins, ate some really great food (fish, fruit, salad), snorkeling, water slides, and just all around chill vibes. Highly recommend this!

This was amazing! All three of our children (ages 6,9,12) said this was their favorite thing we did! The boat ride was amazing, we saw dolphins, enjoyed snorkeling, and the slides and places to jump were so much fun! The food was also incredible. If you are in the area, do not skip this tour!

I had an absolutely excellent experience on the Viator catamaran tour! From start to finish, everything was well organized, smooth, and stress-free. The crew was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The catamaran itself was spacious and clean, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. Sailing across the water was both peaceful and exciting, and the scenery was breathtaking. We had opportunities to swim and take photos, and the staff made sure everyone was safe while still having fun. What really stood out was the overall atmosphere — relaxed, enjoyable, and perfectly paced. It never felt rushed, and the team clearly cared about making it a memorable experience for everyone on board. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and beautiful day on the water. Definitely a highlight of the trip!

Fun, but felt rushed....

Anthony_M, Sep 2026
Fun, but felt rushed. Bathrooms were kept nice. Crew was good, the main guide was very friendly and helpful. Didn’t get to do one if the activities because if how rushed the trip felt.

Angie_M, Aug 2026
Saw dolphins on the ride out. Ride out longer than ride back. Jumped in the water which felt nice but did not see anything snorkeling. The people on the boat were great, food was delicious. Overall, great time.

An amazing time on the water!

Shannon_W, Aug 2026
So fun! We saw whales, dolphins, and sea turtles all in one trip. The staff was great and the lunch was delicious.

Morning Tour

Jamie_N, Jul 2026
This boat ride was comfortable and accommodating. Rode along the coast and even got to see a mother Humpback whale and her baby. Snorkeling was a bit packed but was able to see about 5 different types of fish. The slide and jumping off the deck was awesome. Food was great. We all loved it.

Super fun!

Sari_M, Jul 2026
This was a fun experience! The staff were all friendly and helpful. The boat ride was fun and we saw dolphins, birds and flying fish! The snorkeling was fun and our kids absolutely loved jumping off the boat and doing the slides!! We all wish that part could have lasted a little longer. Lunch was delicious!

Perfect length ride out...

Elizabeth_P, Jul 2026
Perfect length ride out to the swimming spot. We were able to jump off the top deck or go down the slide into the water. Sun mats to lay out and catch a quick nap before they serve you lunch….which was amazing. Crew members were all very nice and helpful!

Great experience, would recommend

Kaitlin_W, Jul 2026
Visiting from Maryland USA and had a great time. I would honestly do this again. Great experience for what it costs. Nice views and then swimming and the food was soo good! Fish kabobs!

Masele_I, Jul 2026
We had a great time on the catamaran! The views of the island from the water were unparalleled and the lunch was delicious. We also got to see dolphins and those fish that fly across the water. It was so cool to see that! We spent about an hour and a half cruising down the coastline before we anchored to snorkel. I was so excited to go snorkeling but it proved to be underwhelming. We anchored near a rock where other catamarans were at, so there were already a lot of people in the water. The visibility was low and we only saw a few different fish. It was nice to be provided the equipment and there were slides for everyone to use. If the snorkeling spot was better, I would’ve given this 5 stars.

Incredible time for the whole family!

Kaitlin_G, Jul 2026
We had an amazing time on this catamaran tour!! There was music, the staff was very friendly and entertaining, they served you drinks anywhere on the boat and were very prompt with their service. The lunch they provide was one of the best dishes we had on our whole trip!! They have slides and you can snorkel and jump off of the 2nd story of the boat. We saw sea turtles & dolphins that were right next to the boat on numerous occasions- very cool! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone! They also provided transportation to and from our hotel :)

Fantastic time for all!

Catamaran w Planet Dolphin

Lolly_A, Jun 2026
Excursion was worth the price. It was 3 hours long. Cocktails and lunch included. 1.5 hours to get to snorkeling spot (sxenic route), 1 hour snorkeling or sliding down slides and 30 min to get back to marina.

Great experience !

Jennifer_c, Jun 2026
We loved the experience ! The boat was fun with a slide and place to jump off the side of the boat. The crew was fantastic and the pick up and drop off from the hotel was key.

Ended up on a different companies boat

Jeanette_K, Jun 2026
Ended up cancelling the tour. They did message us the night before but we did not get the message. Luckily they had someone at the dock to tell us it was cancelled and we are able to transfer our trip to a different company leaving that day. It would have been nice if they would have reached out a few days before to at least hint that it might be cancelled due to not enough people signed up. The tour itself was very fun and great for the family.

Great excursion for all

Areg_M, Jun 2026
This excursion was great for the entire family! We have 4 young kids and everyone enjoyed the music, the slides jumping from the boat, and relaxing on the trampoline like nets at the back of the boat. The crew was very attentive and routinely offered fresh drinks for both adults and kids. The spit that the chose to have us enjoy a swim in the water was calm which made it easy for families to look after multiple children. Kids and adults alike all enjoyed the slides and jumping off the deck. The food was incredibly authentic, restaurant quality with generous portions and plenty to go around. I highly recommend this excursion as a way to spend quality time together while relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Super fun experience, okay snorkeling

Pe_B, Jun 2026
The catamaran was beautiful, spacious, and well maintained. The staff onboard were amazing...very friendly and hospitable! They made it very fun with good music and interacting with the guests. The lunch was delicious! During the swimming and snorkeling time, it was fun to go off the slide and jump off the upper deck. The snorkeling was just okay. We saw a small school of yellow and black fish. The experience was super fun, even though the snorkeling was underwhelming.

Caree_L, Jun 2026
Had fun riding around and looking for dolphins and listening and dancing to fun music! The food and drinks were so good!! The snorkeling and jumping off and going down the slide was an added bonus!

Best Catamaran for Adventure

Great Start to our Honeymoon

Kristina_D, May 2026
This was our first excursion of our honeymoon and it really set the tone for a great time! Regardless of the rain, we had a fantastic time. The crew was fun, the food was amazing, and the excursion gave us everything we'd hoped for! We would definitely recommend booking during your stay!

Megan_P, May 2026
This was fun for our family. We went out a ways and saw dolphins then came back in and anchored to snorkel and swim a bit. I gave this 4 stars only because the snorkel gear was pretty worn. The goggles were very scratched up and hard to see out of. But crew, food, and activities were great.

A fun experience

David_K, May 2026

Such a great time!

Irisbel_D, May 2026
We didn’t get to see dolphins but overall the trip was so much fun! The staff made sure everyone was doing good with either music or drinks. We were able to see many fish where they took us when snorkeling. Even the food that was provided was great! Would definitely love to do it again!

Would recommend

carine_a, May 2026
Very fun! Just found the day short for what we paid. It’s more of a family day activity then friends

Sunset Catamaran Tour

Alejandra_C, May 2026
If you want a snorkeling day with an amazing sunset to end the day and relax, this is the tour!! Cocktails and delicious food freshly cooked to end the tour. Amazing views

Definitely as advertised....

Stephanie_E, Apr 2026
Definitely as advertised. Saw dolphins, sea turtles, and different kinds of sea birds. Crew was friendly, food was good. Too many people to snorkel nor many fish to see where we anchored.

Great crew and views

Youngji_H, Apr 2026
I chose this boat because it wasn’t too big like a party boat and not too small. The crew was very nice and always asking if we needed anything. The weather was a bit cold and rainy but we still had fun snorkeling and watching others go down the very slippery slide. Enjoyed the beautiful views of MA! Also the dinner was super yummy and fresh!
