We are a family of five, and this private boat charter to Soufrière was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The entire day was incredible from start to finish. Our captain and his mate took us to the mud baths, a beautiful waterfall, and an excellent snorkeling spot where we saw so many colorful fish. The scenery along the way was breathtaking...the Pitons, the coastline, everything was picture-perfect. The crew made the day easy, fun, and completely stress-free. It was the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable views. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Lucia. A fantastic day for families!

Fantastic Experience!

Mary_W, Mar 2026

We had a great day in St Lucia! Enjoyed the high-powered boat with two friendly crew members. They were glad to make recommendations, but we were also free to “choose our own adventure.” We snorkeled in a beautiful reef with lots of colorful fish, saw the most spectacular scenery and had a delicious, reasonably-priced meal in an authentic local restaurant they recommended. One of the best outings we’ve experienced in a long time!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the day, from the snorkeling and scenery to the local lunch. Happy to hear the crew made it easy and flexible for you hope to have you back again in Saint Lucia

Excellent, relaxing day on the water

Shay_P, Aug 2025

I highly recommend this tour company. My husband and I did a private charter boat tour that was truly customized to what we wanted to do. No pressure, no upselling, no hidden fees. Be sure you read the “what to expect” section and know what entrance fees, fuel charges, etc are included versus not. This tour has been one of the highlights of our trip. Friendly and knowledgeable captain and guide.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I'm really happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your private charter—it’s always our goal to create a relaxed, personalized experience without any pressure or surprises. Great tip about reading the “what to expect” section—we try to keep everything as clear as possible so you can just focus on having a great time. It means a lot to hear the tour was one of the highlights of your trip! We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another adventure.

Fun Private Boat Tour in Saint Lucia

christopher_p, Jan 2025

We rented the 25 foot boat for a fun day in Saint Lucia, seeing the island by speedboat is the ONLY way to go.(It can take 2 hours by bus just to get to Sulpher srings) Captain Cletus let us customize our day was very knowledgable as he toured us through the island ports. His shipmate was also very helpful, when we accidentally dropped a phone in the water he offered to get the water out of it so it would charge again(It Worked!) After some drive by touring of ports, we stopped for the hot water falls in Soufrière which was truely amazing, and the best part was no crowds! (Note: This is a steep uphill road hike from the beach) Next was lunch at a local restaurant in Soufrière, the food was home made and very good, all the locals were getting take away orders, so you know its a popular place. Next then snorkeling at sugar beach, and the water was very clear, so there was a lot to see in the water. We finally ended our day with a speed boat ride back to the cruise port, all in about 6 hours of fun in the sun! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing day exploring Saint Lucia by boat. Captain Cletus and the team are always happy to customize the trip to make it special for our guests, and it’s great to know that you enjoyed the personal touch and the local insights along the way. We’re also glad the phone rescue was a success! It sounds like you had a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and local flavor, from the stunning hot waterfalls to the clear waters at Sugar Beach. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!

Very pricey!

Cami_O, Mar 2024

We really enjoyed the tour. Silas and his dad were our boat pilots and they were great. Silas was informative about the island and flexible with our wants and needs. What I didn’t like was the amount of money we had to pay in addition to the tour. We had to pay for lunch which was $76 for 4, $80 cash for the cab, all entrance fees and then $30 for boat gas. And this didn’t include the tip. So it was a pretty pricey day. Not sure I would do this same tour again due to that.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for the feedback back we really do appreciate it. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with Silas and Cletus. In terms of the fees you paid they were all listed in the product listing. There were no hidden fees. We provide the boat tours and if a customer chooses to visit the attractions on land they would have to pay for such, this is why it is optional. When we do our meet and greet we do list optional activities that can be done and also all the included prices. Thank you for booking with us and I hope we see you again.

Great experience. Fun safe and friendly!

Peter_T, Jan 2024

My friend and I are not ones to be crammed onto a boatload of tourists for a snorkel outing. That's why I'm so happy we booked a private charter with Dream Boat Tours! Excellent experience that we would highly recommend. Booking was easy and communication with them was responsive and accurate. The weather on the day we went out was not great. Intermittent rain, wind, and some rough seas from time to time. Glen our guide, and our Captain his dad, Kleatus were amazing! They made us feel comfortable and safe and dodged the bad weather as much as possible with talent and skill. Father & son team well versed with history and knowledge of the island, there's not a question they can't answer, so ask away! They manage to take us to 3 amazing snorkling spots, with our favorite being Sugar Beach. Also, a nice local lunch in Soufriere. Truly, it felt like we were on a friend's boat, and of course, there was never a lack of Piton beer and local rum to pass around keeping us warm! Cheers to them, thank you for a great tour!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you Peter for a great recommendation and booking with us. we do our best to make sure anyones' time on the water is an enjoyable and memorable one. Yes you were truly on a friends boat. looking forward to seeing you guys soon.

A great tour of the island.

David_P, Jan 2024

Captain Cletus and his son Silas gave us a very memorable day taking us around some of the most beautiful parts of the island, great snorkeling opportunities and dolphin watching! Very knowledgeable about the history of their island, and proud to share the history with us. We had been to St Lucia before, but it is much more beautiful seen from the water!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for leaving us 5 star review. We are happy to know that the time spent with us was a memorable one. we look forward to your return.

Unforgettable Experience in St. Lucia.

Allison_M, Dec 2023

My husband, son, and I stopped at St. Lucia as part of a Norwegian cruise. After lackluster experiences with NCL excursions in the past, we opted for a private boat charter in St. Lucia. Silas, our guide, was there to greet us when we got off the ship. He walked us to a dock where his father, Captain Cletus, was waiting on the boat. Cruising along the coast, the boat offered us exclusive views of the rocky terrain, iconic Pitons, and pristine beaches. Silas and Captain Cletus seamlessly orchestrated every detail, ensuring our journey was personalized and memorable. The flexibility of the private charter allowed us to explore sulfur springs, a secluded waterfall, and hop between multiple beaches where we could indulge in snorkeling and swimming at our own pace. Silas arranged lunch for us that we were able to enjoy on a beach. He and Captain Cletus had us back at the port at the time that we had specified so that we could make it back on our ship. We eagerly anticipate our return to St. Lucia, and we will definitely schedule another charter with Silas and Captain Cletus. I highly recommend this experience for those seeking a more intimate and exceptional exploration of St. Lucia. (Be sure to read the fine print as to what is included in the fee and what isn’t. You’ll need quite a bit of cash to pay for various fees, cab rides, and lunch.)

Response from Host, Jan 2024

We are truly happy that you enjoyed the dream boat tours experience and that Silas and captain Cletus made your journey a personalized and memorable one. Thank you for the review and we look forward to your return.

Excellent personalized tour!

Kelly_J, Jun 2023

If you’re looking for a personalized tour away from the crowds, this tour is for you. Worth every penny! We had a great time on Father’s Day. They took us wherever we wanted to go on the boat. Snorkeled in three different places while my husband enjoyed the beach. Had a great lunch at a local spot. Learned local history. Great day on the water! They were very attentive to every detail! Thank you!!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for a 5 start review. We do our best to look after our customers.

Best day of the cruise!

Shannon_S, Mar 2023

Amazing day with dream boat tours from start to finish! So easy to communicate with before the date and jam packed so many stops into one day for a cruise ship. Silas was such a great guide, making sure to capture lots of great photos. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the feedback. We are pleased to know your experience with us was amazing.

A MUST-DO St. Lucia Tour With Exceptional Customer Service

Janine_H, Jan 2023

Dream Boat Tours deserves far more than a 5 star rating as it is a truly exceptional tour company in all ways, especially their customer service – top notch! Glen and Silas gave us THE BEST tour of our entire Caribbean vacation – they are the nicest guys and we had SO MUCH FUN! This is a must-do tour in St. Lucia! They fully customized our trip based on our timeline and where we wanted to go/what we wanted to see; they were so attentive to my knee disability, helping me on/off the boat for snorkeling and taking the boat up to the beach for easy on/off; and since they are native to St. Lucia they knew all the best places to take us – we did several amazing snorkeling adventures, including between the Pitons! Their boat was very comfortable and provided shade from the sun/rain, plus its small size was perfect for cruising the coastline and landing on the beach, and it has great speed when you need it. From pickup (they were early!) to drop off (they returned us to our ship at exactly the time they promised) and all the wonderful experiences in between, the tour FAR exceeded our already-high expectations. Thank you, Glen and Silas!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

You are so welcomed. We treat everyone as family and how we would love to be treated ourself. Having a disability shouldn't keep you out of the fun. we are very pleased to hear that we exceeded your expectations. Looking forward to your return

Thank you, Dream Boat Tours, for an amazing trip!!!

Kathie_C, Oct 2022

I have been a travel agent for many years and have been on hundreds of tours. Dream Boat Tours is 10 Stars. Glenn and his dad went above and beyond. We did a private boat tour to the mud bath and the waterfall to wash off, he also recommended places to stop along the way for snorkeling and swimming, if you want a great local experience, with a top-notch company this is the tour for you. Thank you, Dream Boat Tours for an amazing trip!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks you so much for a great review. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and your crew. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay and we are looking forward to seeing you again.
