We had a delightful day on this boat - can’t say enough good. The captain and crew were so personable, informative, and caring. They ensured we got the most of our trip. The boat is spacious and the bathrooms spacious (unlike most on boats). The gear, the food, and the drinks top notch! They looked for the best snorkel areas and didn’t disappoint there either. It was a great day!

Our group of people were not really impressed. It was nothing like what we expected based on the website photos.

My sister and I had an amazing time! We highly recommend. My sister has some food allergies and they were incredibly accommodating. We also had to reschedule due to tropical storm lala and I am so glad we didn't miss this. Loved the crew, the snorkeling and the slide!
