The Right Choice - Captain Vincent and Carlito were fantastic. Besides being punctual and friendly, they customized the experience to what we wanted. Slowing and pointing out key landmarks, sharing St Lucia history and helping with photos, they were fantastic. After witnessing some of the highly structured group tours, choosing this private option was a fantastic decision! We highly recommend Captain Vincent, Carlito and The Real Deal team!

Great half day private tour! - We worked with one of the local vendors at our resort to schedule this half day snorkel and boat tour after working with a different vendor last year. Captain Vincent and his mate picked us up at the resort from the beach which is so much easier than having to take a van to the marina! Once aboard he asked what we wanted to do, and we mentioned we had done a similar tour last year and were not crazy about doing the same snorkeling spot at Sugar Beach. He said he knew a few different places to try and off we went! They were very friendly and pointed out all of the major points of interest along the way down the island.
We road through Marigot Bay to look at the huge yachts that park there and the Doolittles restaurant. Our first snorkeling spot was Anse Chastanet where they do a combo of scuba training and snorkeling. The reef was beautiful and we saw all sorts of different shapes, sizes and colors of fish. It was a lot better than Sugar beach for seeing a variety of fish and underwater coral. The second spot Captain Vincent took us to was over by Anse Cochon Beach, where we were able to jump in off the boat and snorkel up the coast line. Again a great variety of underwater landscapes, fish and coral to look at.
Upon finishing snorkeling we start to slowly head back up the coast with some provided drinks and snacks. Captain Vincent did a great job navigating around some showers where we didn't get drenched on the boat. I would highly recommend Captain Vincent and Real Deal for future excursions, and would suggest booking directly with them!

Great private tour! - I would highly recommend this company for a boat tour! We did a private half day tour with 8 people. From booking the trip until the end, the company was very communicative and answered any and all questions. The captain and mate were wonderful and had everything ready on the boat for us (water, beer, rum punch, etc). The entire group had a wonderful time and loved this tour! Thanks Captain Vincent for a great day!

"Must Do" to Understand Why St. Lucia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - While all of St. Lucia is amazing, seeing it from the water gives you a better appreciation for its beauty. My daughter and I have taken this tour many times and we always feel safe with Vincent at the helm of the boat. We like being able to go precisely where we want to for the day. Vincent organizes a taxi to take us to the Dasheene Restaurant located up high between the two pitons where we feel like we are on top of the world. This tour is always the highlight of our trip.

Beautiful Views and Great Experience! - Boat tour was a great experience! Asked us where we wanted to focus our tour and took us there while telling us all about the island! Snorkeling was great! Bat caves were cool! Transportation on land when we did land visits were quick and fluid! We did mud baths, waterfalls, and a private little local lunch at a local spot! It was a great experience! Captain and tour guide were very accommodating and friendly! Did a great job! Recommend if you want to see the island from the boat with beautiful views!

St. Lucia sights to see! - We used Real Deal boat tours in St. Lucia and it was the best boat tour we have done in the Caribbean. Captain Vincent took us to Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay. Pirates of the Caribbean Cave, the Pitons and Sugar Beach. He took his time and explained the history of each landmark to us. He was so attentive and kept making sure we are ok. I will definitely be recommending Real Deal boat tours to family and friends planning to visit St. Lucia soon. Ask for Captain Vincent, he's the best!

Fantastic fun family memories. Fantastic Captain Vincent - We booked a Half Day Snorkeling and Sightseeing tour with Captain Vincent. By far the best day of our holiday. Vincent took us to great sights and was very informative about the history of the island. Fun family memories on this magnificent trip. We look forward to booking another boat tour on our next trip to St. Lucia.

Couples from Atlanta Tour. - We had an awesome experience visiting the mud baths, waterfalls and having lunch. We chose not to snorkel so we were able to relax and chill. Captain Vincent was a great tour guide and host. We were able to rent for only four of us and that made it all the more a great trip because we were private. The rum punch was good too!

Rude Captain! - The Captain was a jerk! His first mate was awesome! The beach wasn't much to look at and the ocean was full of rocks. The rum punk was or. The Captain didn't leave us with any water while other tour guides left the cooler. He took our shoes so we walked around barefoot. He gave me a mean look when I asked for water
