Sunset, sea, snorkelling and the biggest smiles - Best day ever!!! Took the family catarmaran cruise and went snorkelling first of all as we moved out to see from the beach side. Saw lovely bright fish and pretty corals. The guys on the boat were careful to protect t our safety and kept folks together near the boat. We were all given life jackets and clean snorkel and face mask. Then we went o er to Ricks cafe and enjoyed drinks and music with lovely dancers on stage . Sailed back in time to see the sunset from boat, whilst dancing to fabulous old skool dancehall and livers rock music from the talented DJ the DJ. The catamaran captain ( BJ Baracus lookalike)) skilful and calm and clear on the announcements and the crew incclufubg Wayne, kept us safe as we waded to and from the Catarina when boarding and disembarking! Could not recommend more highly! Do this when you’re visiting Negril. It’s a fabulous and very well priced few hours. We also had time to see the gift shop at Jam West beach and get some Jamaican patties and a smoothie for lunch before we sailed. All the staff are super polite and friendly. We loved it from start to finish! Thanks everyone involved!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Catamaran and snorkelling combo - Had a great time on the boat today! My other boat and snorkel tour from Montego Bay with another company was cancelled so they squeezed me onto this one and I had a blast! We stopped at Rick’s Cafe for some snorkelling and then had an hour at the cafe to wander. The music on the boat was fun and the crew was great and entertaining. Would definitely book with JamWest again!

Perfect apart from paid for pictures but no pictures sent - Would have been a 5 if we had got the pictures we paid for.
Totally amazing trip, loved the couple of hours on Jamwest Beach part of the 7mile beach, yes there is food and a bar but is no problem if you don’t want to buy anything, is a gift shop but again no problem your not pressurised.
Beach is stunning was above couple of hours, then you walk through the sea to the catamaran and some complained about this but it’s all part of it and you just have to hold your bags up, no problem.
On board drinks fine and snacks of crisps all included and the staff are amazing, music is fab, stopped off for snorkelling saw loads and loads of fish and a sting Ray was brilliant.
Back on board to Ricks cafe, advised if you want food order straight away and yes it’s expensive but it’s a tourist area it’s going to be what do you expect?
Lovely atmosphere hubby and daughter jumped off the cliff.
Back on board and whilst boarding a customer dropped their phone in the sea, boat staff dived and dived until they found it, couldn’t believe the effort they put in.
Then a slow boat ride back to Jamwest and we got to stop and see the sunset, was just amazing.
Only let down is we paid for 3 pictures of us on board and have contacted then 3 times and no pictures.
Just won’t agree to pics on future trips but isn’t the end of the world.
Would have been a strong strong 5 if we had got the pictures highly highly recommend

Not impressed - Got picked up from the hotel and had to wait 90 mins on the beach before the boat set off, think this is there way of getting you to spend money. We had to them walk out to the catamaran which was chest deep and we was having to carry bags and towels etc above our head. Boat was lively with a DJ. Stopped off to do some snorkelling but was awful no fish and dead coral. Got to be the worst snorkelling trip I have been on. We visited Ricks cafe (overpriced) and suppose to have the sunset cruise back but nothing was mentioned about the sunset.

Meh, too many people crammed on - We always do a catamaran on our trips and like to party it up. But we were put on the family cruise from 7 mile beach and the workers were bumping and grinding with ladies like crazy in front of little kids. Many parents were in shock and we felt bad for them. Snacks were mini bags of cheese balls and they ran out of beer in the first hour. Plenty of rum punch drinks which did the trick. This was the most packed catamaran we have even been on. Each person gets about 14 inches to sit and you have to hold your bag because it was so crammed. Good luck getting your spot back after snorkeling. They could make it better by just having a little less people.

Worst snorkeling trip ever. Trap - We were book this family catamaran trip through our hotel. It was a 45 minute drive to the beach on nigril. It is set up so you have to buy from them. They sent you though the gift shop with little kids. Trap. Then there is an ove price bar and food. Everyone was so nice but it was all part of the set up. Then they have people selling all kinds of stuff on the beach. Very annoying. Like the other reviewer said you have to walk far out in the water everything we had got soaking wet. We were supposed to be on the boat for 3 or 4 hours and snorke. They claimed once we were an hour out that the water was too rough for snorkeling. There is no way that they didn't know it was too rough before we went out there are way to tell if the ocean is to rough before you leave shore. I'm not sure if it was too rough or they just want to cut the trip short. They then busses people to ricks cafe. Which is not something you want to do with 3 children. It was a trap and a waste of a day and money. If it was rough to snorkel which I have never heard of and I have snorkeled in a lot of places. It would have been better for them to just tell us and let us enjoy the beach and the water instead of dragging us all out on to a boat for 2 hours for nothing.
