Unforgettable experience!... - Unforgettable experience! From the moment we boarded, the staff made us feel welcome. The scenic views were absolutely breathtaking, and our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories about the area and ensuring we had the best spots for swimming and sightseeing.
I highly recommend for anyone looking to spend a perfect day on the water. Whether it's a family outing, romantic getaway, or a day with friends, you won't be disappointed!

Can’t miss this tour with Marlan and Dylan! - Marlan and Dylan were fabulous! We were supposed to meet at the marina but they ended up pulling right up to the beach at our hotel, which was so convenient. The whole day was wonderful. Dylan kept us entertained and was so full of knowledge and cool facts about the island. My kids loved hearing about pirates of the Caribbean and Jurassic Park and where they were filmed. My kids had never snorkeled, and the snorkeling was beginner friendly and great at sugar beach. The mud bath was so fun and a new experience for all of us. It was also cool getting the vip treatment being with Dylan and getting to skip the line at the waterfall. It was great when he stopped at a roadside stand and we got to try fresh island mangos. Our last stop was a delicious lunch of local cuisine, with a view of the pitons. This was an awesome trip and I would gladly recommend it to anyone. So much better than being on a group trip, so you get personal attention, and they know the right times to get there to miss all the crowds. Also Dylan used my phone to capture great photos of my family doing all these fun activities! This is a must do activity for any trip to St Lucia!

Fantastic St. Lucia tour! - We had an excellent St Lucia tour through Marlan's Boat Tours! I had been a little worried about how the sea & land portion would work, but it worked out great! There was a captain and a tour guide on board with us. After we boated over to the Pitons, the tour guide got off the boat with us, hailed a taxi, and accompanied us for the rest of the day. He customized our land tour based off of our interests, shepherded us from one place to the next, and recommended a great lunch spot. After snorkeling at Sugar Beach, he took us back to the boat for our trip back to the port. The boat docked very close to our cruise ship, so it was super easy to meet up and get back to the ship. Both captain and tour guide were very personable. It was a fantastic & relaxing excursion in St. Lucia! I have previously visited the Pitons via taxi (a 2.5 hour one-way drive from the cruise port) and would highly recommend this sea & land tour instead!

Amazing Boat Tour with Coco Stick - First of all taking a tour by boat is highly recommended given the traffic, hills and small roads you have to navigate on land. Our guide Coco Stick was so cool, funny, he knew everyone and showed us great spots! He was so knowledgeable you have to take this tour. Wow! We all enjoyed it!

Best Spent 6 Hours in St. Lucia! - What a great way to spend 6 hours in St. Lucia. The tour company worked with our hotel concierge to pick us up closer to our hotel so we did not have to take a taxi to the far side of the island. From the water we were able to see the Pitons, Castries, and Marigot Bay with a glimpse of the bat cave (note: you do not go into the bat cave...you will see why). We also spent time snorkeling at Sugar Beach which we don’t get to do very often living in the middle of the US. We also visited the Sulfur Springs which is a must do in my opinion if you are on the island. Our first mate, Dylan, got some great pictures of my husband and I, and we did not even have to ask! He really made the visit next level! We then went to the Toraille Waterfall. It was a day where locals were off work for a holiday so it was a little busy but still a nice visit. Dylan even asked others to move so that we could stand under the waterfalls while he took a video of us with my camera. Very nice touch! The crew played Caribbean music on the boat and kept the rum punch and beer coming! Be sure to bring your beach towels! Highly recommend Marlin Tours!

You’re On The Wrong Boat! 😂 - Coco Stix and his crew were amazing! We had the best time ever in St. Lucia thanks to them. We enjoyed telling all the other boats they were on the wrong boat because we had the best tour guides.

Marlan Charters - Today we went on a private charter with Marlan Charters. We snorkled, went to a beautiful waterfall, and a mineral bath. Our guides Kimo and Smokey were outstanding! I highly recommend this group if you're looking for a land sea adventure.

Incredible life affirming private boat tour with an awesome crew. Highly recommended - We really wanted to visit hotel chocolat whilst in St Lucia but all the hotel trips were full. After ringing a few boat tours in Rodney bay as soon as I spoke to Marlan I knew this was one! He was super polite, offered a fair price and the deal was quickly done for the next day.
Captain Ozzy and our guide, the personification of positive vibes, Cocoa Stick were super! We had 2 adults & 4 children in our party including a 2 year old and we felt completely safe on the boat. Ozzy was an amazing captain keeping us on track for time and giving us a safe but exhilarating trip. Cocoa Stick is the next level of vibes, he’s super informative and knowledgeable about the Island’s history, seemingly knows everyone on St Lucia and is so good with kids. We already count him as a friend and he really couldn’t do enough for us. He’s an asset to Marlon boat tours and made the trip so special. Incredible day full of joy positivity and special memories.
Highly recommended!

Perfection - We had a wonderful day! Dillon was an excellent guide, pleasant, informative and attentive. We snorkeled, did the mud baths (avoid light colored clothes due to iron content), went to a waterfall, dined at a local restaurant and finished the day off at a black sandy beach. Truly a great experience! Marlan got us everywhere safe and sound!
