Excellent crew in Captain Andy, John, and Darien(hope I spelled that correctly). Always felt safe and well taken care of. John was very knowledgeable about the marine creatures and knew where to find them. The snorkeling was amazing. We saw turtles, rays, and my husband swears he saw a shark. The pizza and beverages hit the spot after all that snorkeling. And the music, singing, and dancing till sunset were the icing on the cake. John and Darien went above and beyond to keep everyone entertained. We truly enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend this excursion.

Crew was amazing! Sydney was fabulous! And Andy was just as fabulous. All boat days are the best days but the crew makes it top notch . The drinks were fabulous and pizza good.
Had a great day with captain darian and Sydney. Snorkeling, sun, beautiful views, great bartender. Dance party plus sunset plus pizza
5 stars!
BK the captain and Sydney were great. Two different snorkeling places plus fun boat ride and awesome tunes made for one of my favorite experiences on the island. Definitely worth the price.

I was treated like an absolute princess! I am not a swimmer but was determined to snorkel despite my fears. I was given everything I needed to make it happen. And, not only did they accommodate...I was pulled around with a floatie to see cool things! I am so grateful for my experience and will forever remember the lengths they went to to make sure I saw all the cool things. 100% recommend this trip. Even if I had been unable to get in the water due to my dumb fears, the ride and views were totally worth it.
Captain Rocky ( ok, so not technically the captain) was also amazing, and super cute!
John, and Andy were great guides. My. Husband and I had the best time and seen so many turtles!
Definitely recommend booking them you won’t regret it!

"Wow! What an unbelievable excursion. From start to finish, the entire experience was top notch. From Captain Jake's expertise navigating around the islands with a few stops at historic relics, to Second Mate Sydney's knowledgeable snorkel guidance, bartending, and overall hospitality as concierge, we couldn't have asked for a better adventure. Definitely a trip to remember and cherish."

Captain Andy and crew mate John were amazing! Best snorkeling spots for sea turtles, fish and nurse sharks. The tour of the islands and historical information were such an added bonus! Best sunset view of any we have seen so far! Going to book again before we leave the islands if time permits. A definite must do when down here and security dog “Rocky” great dog, just an fyi Rocky loves a little pepperoni and cheese pizza ! Thanks guys for making this the best excursion !

Fabulous experience John and CJ took us to the most beautiful snorkel spots! They really highlighted all the safety precautions before we entered the water! The snacks were great between the snorkel spots and the pizza was delicious!

This was so fun and well worth the money ! John was so fun and helpful helped us swim around so we wouldn’t miss all the amazing things in the ocean (btw John’s mom “He totally has a job” lol and Andy was a great driver and photographer and the pizza was so good I definitely recommend this. 10/10 I see why the.

Two fantastic snorkel experiences with Darian (sp?) She was knowledgeable of the fish and creatures that we saw. CJ was a fun and fantastic captain. The 2nd half was a lovely boat ride to see sunset and have a few drinks. Just a fantastic afternoon.

This was the most uncomfortable boat I have ever been on. Hard metal benches to sit on. Metal wires to lean back on. Drinks were not good. If you just want to snorkel, its fine. Bare bones uncomfortable boat. If you want to enjoy a day on the water in comfort, this is not a great choice. The pizza was delicious. They are much better options for the price.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the boat did not meet your expectations for comfort and that some aspects of the drinks and seating were disappointing for you. We truly appreciate your honest comments, as they help us identify areas where we can improve the overall guest experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling and especially the pizza — we’ll be sure to pass that compliment along to the crew. Our tours are designed to focus on the adventure and time in the water, but we understand that comfort onboard is just as important for many guests. Thank you again for joining us and for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the rest of your time on the island.
BK, John and Sydney are fabulous! They ensured we had a wonderful time and did a great job making it a memorable experience! We will absolutely be back!
