Excellent, captain Stuart...

David_R, Feb 2026

Excellent, captain Stuart customized the trip exactly to our requirements nothing was too much trouble

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for the kind words! Captain Stewart truly enjoys tailoring each trip to exactly what her guests are looking for, so she’ll love hearing this. We’re glad everything felt seamless and that you had the perfect day on the water. We really appreciate you choosing Shades of Blue and hope to see you again soon! 🌊⚓️💙

Great Half Day Excursion

Larry_G, Jan 2026

Great family fun. Our guide Stewart (not sure she spelled her name) did a great job of seeing and doing a lot in short half day excursion. We snorkeled in two beautiful spots where we saw colorful fish, turtles and sting rays. The rest of the time we motored around with Stewart pointing out the various islands including two that were formerly owned by Michael Epstein. I highly recommend this tour company.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad your family had a great half-day out on the water. Captain Stewart (spelled just like that!) enjoys maximizing the day and it sounds like you were able to snorkel some beautiful spots and take in the sights along the way — always fun when the sea turtles and rays decide to show up! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more exploring next time you’re in the islands!
