Family of 5 Had A Ball

Melissa_M, Dec 2025

Very fun experience- the crew and the sail were amazing. We did get to see turtles snorkeling and a bunch of fish. Kids loved the slides on the boat and jumping in to the ocean from the boat. Lunch and the beach time were amazing!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you! We’re thrilled you had a fun experience, enjoyed the crew, snorkeling with turtles and fish, and loved the slides and ocean jumps. Glad the lunch and beach time were amazing too!

One turtle

James_D, Mar 2025

We only saw one turtle and a few fish. The ads showed lots of turtles and fish. That with the one hour of snorkeling was disappointing.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Ah, the joys of wildlife—always keeping us on our toes! While we’d love to have a ‘Turtle & Fish Guarantee’ button, the ocean likes to keep things spontaneous. Some days, it’s like an underwater parade, and other days, the marine life is playing hide-and-seek. We totally get wanting more time in the water, and we appreciate your feedback. Next time, we hope the sea life puts on a bigger show for you—Mother Nature can be a bit unpredictable, but she never disappoints for long!

Poor communications.

George_A, Dec 2024

We were very ready to go yesterday but trip was cancel by email two hours before trip. That was very disappointing. Can't recommend you at all. We had limited time to go and day was beautiful ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️😨☹️

Response from Host, Dec 2024

We're very sorry we had a maintenance issue and were not able to sail. We also call/text/email all of our guests as soon as possible to reschedule or refund. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.
