Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From the moment we boarded the catamaran we were treated amazingly well. The captain and crew were all knowledgeable, friendly and helpful to all guests. The food was excellent with a good selection of drinks. Would highly recommend to anyone and we will be having another trip when we return to Barbados in February.

Such an amazing, relaxing day! Sarah, Wayne, and the crew spent the day pampering us, making sure we had everything we wanted! The food was amazing (have the chicken and macaroni casserole!) Pretty much anything we wanted to drink (try the local beer) was served without asking, as well.
I didn't snorkle, but my crew did and saw all sorts of underwater fun. I just floated around on a noodle they provided. We absolutely will book them again!

We had a great time! Hit 2 snorkel spots in Carlisle Bay with shipwrecks, tarpon, puffer fish, sea turtles, stingrays, etc. And a lovely lunch cruising along the coast that was delicious! Friendly, helpful crew were very knowledgeable about Barbados,the fish, history, etc. Snacks and rum lunch all the way back. Highly recommend this adventure!

I highly recommend this experience. The service was exceptional, and our group thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling, swimming, lunch, drinks, and conversation. The small participant group made it safer and fun. It was a beautiful day.

Fantastic crew,Fantastic food and drink,Fantastic company if you're looking for a boat trip with that personal touch then this is for you plenty of space to relax due to the fact they only take 12 people this gives the trip the air of exclusivity, they may not be as cheap as the rest but they are by far the best

This was the perfect cruise for us -a max of 12 on boat making it ideal to meet and chat with new people. Sara and her staff were just wonderful - attentive for 5 hours, providing a fabulous lunch and constantly topping up glasses! Great experience swimming with the young turtles and seeing the shipwrecks. Would highly recommend

We hired a catamaran for the day privately, to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. There were 12 of us on board, the youngest being 5.
Sarah led the crew and they were all exceptional. Both my parents snorkelled for the first time with the help of the crew who were patient, knowledgable and kind. They were amazing with the kids, letting the littlest one drive the catamaran. We sailed round the west coast, had lunch and drinks on board and it was absolutely magical.
I cannot thank Sarah and her team enough for giving us a fantastic day to remember.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would, it was a truly brilliant experience!

They do not provide underwater cameras, but the crew did take loads of pictures, above and underwater which you can access after your trip. They did a great job on our trip, we wound up getting some very nice family pictures in and out of the water

They will take photos and share them with you, including under water shots, but I’d recommend taking your own camera to get personal shots.

Hi
We often have non swimmers and the boat is equipped with life vests ( although this is not compulsory for swimmers ) there are 2 crew members in the water with you and as we take such low numbers your well look after one of the crew can instruct you and pull you around if need be .
