I recently went on 3 excursions aboard the Celine. The sunset cruise, pubcrawl and a full day trip to Tintimare. Capt. Neil and first mate were wonderful. I can't say enough about their hospitality, making everyone feel right at home.They were full of knowledge and easy to talk to regarding the islands, places and people there. All the food they...

The French Connection Catamaran was quite the big Catamaran and we only had 6 of us on it for our tour- but they took us anyway even though it started out raining and the captain had to stand out in the rain! You catch the catamaran at Bobby's Marina- this is not close to where the cruise ship dock, so... More
