We signed up for a catamaran sail with Patouche Charters at the last minute before out May 15th visit on Caribbean Princess. As it turned out, only one other couple had signed up, so there were only 4 of us on the 48' Shamwari. We were shuttled to the east end by a Carlson, a driver sent by Patouche to... more

My wife and I contacted Julie at Patouche Charters last week to do some snorkeling. While we were visiting in Tortola, we wanted to do some snorkeling. We are not die hard snorkelers so we just wanted to go out for a short dive and then enjoy a sail. They eagerly accommodated us. We went to a nice dive spot... more

Friendly, experienced crew with great knowledge in history and geology of the BVI. A cruise with patouche is a must!! more

Our group of 9 (family and friends) were on an NCL cruise which stopped in Tortola for the day (Aug 13). Rather than take one of the cruise ship arranged excursions we decided to find a sailing/snorkeling trip on our own. After much Internet searching and several phone calls we decided on Patouche. Best decision and the highlight of our... more

The snorkeling was amazing, and they went out of their way to give us every opportunity to swim, explore, etc. On top... more

Just wanted to post something thanking the good people of Patouche Charters. We had a blast cruising with them to the Baths of Virgin Gorda and Norman Island... From start to finish the crew, captained by Joe, was polite and professional. Joe even mentioned so many great points of interest I never found while researching our trip on the internet!... more

We recently returned from a fantastic vacation in Tortola, BVI. My family and I (six in total) went out on a day boat charter with a company called Patouche. I absolutely cannot say enough about this company. They were incredible, from Julie's patient answers to all our telephone questions, to the wonderful service on the boat provided by Joe and... more

Had such a good time we signed up for a 2nd cruise for the next day! Joe and Julie are the best as are their staff. My wife is claustrophobic and doesn't like anything on her face. She got some TLC from Clive one of the crew on our first snorkel stop. He made sure her gear fit and took... more
