Amazing trip with Captain Jace! - We had a great time with Captain Jace and Tippy! They picked us right up on the beach at our resort on Bloody Bay in the afternoon. There was a family of 4 already on who had snorkeled and did the Booby Island tour with him that morning. The kids were super excited to tell us about their morning adventures. Our first stop was a reef for snorkeling. Captain Jace and Tippy were very helpful in getting our gear ready and getting us in the water. Tippy was in the water with us and would point out various marine life. I was a little worried when a really big catamaran showed up beside us, but hardly anyone on that boat got in the water and they left pretty quickly. I would say we had a good 40-45 minutes in the water. Saw a huge stingray-very cool! On the way to the pirate caves we had a couple encounters with dolphins and Captain Jace would stop the boat so they could play with us. So cool! It was a glass bottom boat, so Captain Jace would point out the changes in water depth, fish traps, etc along the way. We were able to snorkel in and out of a couple of pirate caves, which was very cool. The water there is amazingly clear! They then dropped us off at Rick's Cafe. They were both great about helping us get off the boat and onto the ladder there! We had about 30-40 minutes there. Time to make a couple jumps, enjoy a cold beverage and watch the pros jump. Such a fun atmosphere. On the boat ride back we had the most amazing sunset! We've never seen a more beautiful sky! We dropped off Captain Jace, then the other family and it was well after dark when we arrived back to our resort. Tippy did a great job taking care of us! There was a mix up with us being able to pay in cash at the time ( our fault, not theirs) and Captain Jace and his wife were very gracious in the misunderstanding. It's easy to book directly with them and I would recommend doing that. They were very quick to respond to messages through FB. Loved being with a small group on a small boat. The glass bottom was a really cool feature and the seating area was covered. so no worries about too much sun. Would highly recommend!

Couples Sunset Cruise with Dolphins - We just finished an amazing afternoon with Captain Jace. Can’t say enough good things about the experience. Just to demonstrate that this gentleman is about the customer and experience, he spotted a couple of dolphins during our cruise and took the boat over to where they were swimming so we could see them up close and take photos. The afternoon was supposed to be a 3 hour cruise, but because of the extra adventure, was extended to 4 hrs. We would highly recommend him for an excursion!

Great guides and fun snorkeling! - Really cool experience snorkeling in caves and along the shoreline before jumping at Ricks! Captain Jace and crew were great guides! Very accommodating and flexible for pickup and drop off. We ended up having a private tour since no one else signed up for our date. It as a perfect excursion in Negril!

Best Boat in Negril - Great tour guides. Doubles as bar tenders DJ and security made the trip fun. We had 12 people from 20-70 years old
Excellent job

Great time had by all - Snorkeling and cliff jumping at Rick's cafe. Fantastic day. My son didn't want the day to end. Our guide was amazing. Good quality equipment provided to snorkel. We enjoyed a locally prepared lunch which made a great change to hotel food. Thanks to Jace Allen for organising. See you next year

Fun Negril snorkel adventure - Captain Jace and his crew member were awesome. They gave us a private tour of 7 mile beach, the Negril Reef and the cliff side of Negril including the caves. Captain Jace was very laid back and flexible even when our transportation from Montego Bay was running a bit late. He showed my husband a local spot for lunch that was awesome, and allowed us to bring the food on his boat. Captain Jace made the trip fun with his interesting stories about the hotels and properties on the coastline, and once he stopped the boat to jump in and grab a starfish to show us. That was a nice touch. He was like a Jamaican Aquaman on the snorkel part of our trip. He pointed to a lobster going into a hole on the ocean floor and showed lots of fish on the coral. He then dropped us off at Rick's Cafe to rendezvous with our driver. We will definitely use his services again on our future visits to Negril.

Fun afternoon despite the weather! - What a blast! Dream Catcher 2 picked us up on the beach at Skylark. The weather was ok at the moment, overcast a bit but nothing major. We made our way down the beach and picked up a few others, then on to the cliffs. Captain Jace pointed out and provided a bit of background about all of the different resorts, bars, and restaurants along the way. We stopped at a cove and cave area and swam a bit where we were given the option for a little snorkeling. Most stayed near the boat but my husband and I opted for the guided snorkeling tour. I forget his name, but the guide was great and pointed out several things we wouldn't have seen on our own. On our way back up the cliffs we stopped at Rick's to watch that chaos from afar, the best way, haha! Then the torrential downpour started so we had to head back a bit early. Jace is awesome but unfortunately can't control the weather. :) He and his crew, plus the fun bunch of guests on the boat with us, made the best of it and everyone had a blast...lots of music and dancing in the rain! :) We'll definitely be back for a reef snorkel with this crew next year!

Friendly Crew - The crew on the catamaran was very friendly and fun. The experience we had was not the best, though - but no fault of the crew. The winds were very high that day, so the waves were a good 3' making the snorkeling experience less than desirable. For non-swimmers, this was not a day to try snorkeling. The crew kept up everyone's spirits and did their best in a less than ideal situation.
