Better than Perfect!

This was definitely the best day of our trip! Mike and Nikki were professional and safe while being fun and humorous. Loved being under sail, loved seeing the turtles. While I was unable to snorkel, the others said they saw creatures they had never seen before. Recommend wholeheartedly…sign up now!

A+ Turtles & Sailing!

I wanted something different from the traditional catamaran snorkel trip. This sailboat was awesome! Capt Mike and his assistant (forgot her name but she worked crazy fast and efficiently!) Were great hosts. Lots of fun!

GREAT EXPERIENCE AND GREAT PEOPLE

This was by far the best excursion that we booked on our cruise. The captain and Nicky kept everyone laughing and were very accommodating. Beautiful sail boat and we say plenty of turtles, sting rays and a number of other fish. I highly recommend this trip.

BOOK THIS TRIP!!! Just do it!

We had the greatest time on this trip! The actual sailing part was truly wonderful and so much better than being on a catamaran with 100+ people. Captain Mike knew so much interesting island history and answered any questions we all had with lots of detail. Nikki is a MACHINE. I’ll include a picture of what my daughter wrote about her in her journal

Awesomeness

Captain Mike and Nikki were amazing!! They led us to puffer fish, stingrays, turtles, triggerfish, and 3 foot barracuda that always parks under his sailboat! I have never in 30 years of snorkeling seen so many tropical species. The best was the turtle swimming to surface 28 inches from me and eyeing me during its breaths for at least 30 seconds! A real treat I will never forget! The crew was informative and entertaining all day long! 5 stars!

The Highlight of Our Cruise

This excursion was the highlight of our 11-day Caribbean cruise! Captain Mike and Nikki are skilled at sailing, snorkeling, and safety. My husband and I had a really great time and felt fortunate that they took us out when we were the ONLY ones (who showed up), especially since they had 17 for the morning excursion. They were patient and perfect hosts. The sailboat is beautiful and very clean.
