Morning snorkel tour - Awesome snorkel tour with Brian and John today! We saw a filefish, octopus, turtles, starfish, and a sunken sailboat. The weather was perfect, the boat was super clean, and who doesn’t love pizza and a mixed drink after a swim? Thanks, Brian and John for a memorable day!

Awesome experience! - There were seven of us in our family that went on the snorkel trip with Bryan and John. We had a great time and it exceeded all of our expectations. This is the top notch snorkel trip. We saw lots of sea turtles, squid, sting Ray, sea etchings, ship wreck, starfish, and a very large crab. The pizza was awesome too. Highly recommended!

Amazing Guides! - We had an absolute blast on this excursion! Bryan and John were such amazing guides! They pointed out so many hard to see animals! The pizza was amazing and all the girls loved their mixed drinks!! Definitely would book again especially if we could request these two!! Definitely call and confirm times because the trip advisor time said to arrive an hour before we actually needed to arrive.

Must DO THIS - Ren Darian and Brian killed it. We had the best time ever. We were married 3 days ago and Captain Brian played our first dance on the boat. Best time ever! When we come back we will be doing it again!

Super fun ! - Absolutely beautiful boat trip on a nice stable fast and dry boat. Saw turtles, just about every kind of reef fish, and after that saw a delicious rum painkiller. Captain CJ and crew kept us all entertained . On the beautiful ride back after sunset the whole boat was rocking to some great tunes and everyone on board was dancing and having a wonderful time. Can’t wait to go aboard again next year!

Best snorkel excursion ever - TIME OF MY LIFE!!! Cj and Darian were our ALL GIRL CREW (you know that made me happy) Music was so diverse and GOOD!! They took us to two snorkeling spots that were amazing. My sister in law had extreme fear and they were so patient with her, even assisting with her getting comfortable. Pizza was good, drinks made by Darian were better than most bar drinks lol ... We sang, we danced we had a great time. It also helped being on board with folks that wanted to mingle and party too ... definitely a MUST DO in St Thomas

Snorkeling Party - The staff were so friendly and worked so hard for us! We loved, loved snorkeling on St. James!!! We saw turtles, sting rays and beautiful fish! They gave us plenty of time in each snorkeling spot - so nice not to be hurried. I didn’t think the people on the boat had it in them but there we were, dancing laughing and loving the sunset!

Decent adventure borderline rude - The snorkeling was average for the island area. I have not been on any better snorkeling adventures in the island area. The crew was knowledgeable and proficient. Our friends, and I thought that they were borderline rude with the way they demanded attention from the guess. I understand they have to get people’s attention and stop people from talking when they are presenting safety information, but the tone that they use was one of annoyance and irritation, which sets gas off a little bit. They did loosen up after the drink started flowing. All in all it was worth going to for the money I would just suggest that the crew try to figure out how to not seem so annoyed with gas that are talking over them
