Catamaran Cruise with Snorkeling and lunch on board!

I always enjoy time on a small(ish) boat especially in the sunshine. (The catamaran has capacity of 70, though I’d say the 45 on board was just about right) The crew was awesome. The snorkeling was “average” the two reefs that we were taken to were not well developed and since the area above water had a strong smell from the engines of nearby idling boats, I’m sure the under water life was affected. Nevertheless, I did see parrot fish, wrasse, trumpet fish, sardines, and one pufferfish. There were plenty of sea urchin, mostly black (avoid these) and a few white that our guide brought up for us to hold. We were given bread to feed the fish. I’m not sure how healthy that is for the fish, but they like it. There were no turtles, barracuda, nor eels that I saw (and I was looking). There was some litter but overall, pretty clean. If you have snorkeling gear, bring your own because it is likely better quality than what they had, though theirs certainly was able to do the job. Lunch was rather light but very appropriate for the activity. After setting the sails, they put on the music and started dancing. The crew made sure everyone who wanted to had an opportunity to dance. One crewman in particular, almost never left the dance floor. An excellent dancer and strong lead for someone who has never done bachata or merengue. Don’t be shy about dancing. The main “cruise director” was Alain who was amazing in his trilingual instructions. He flipped back and forth between the three languages with ease,

If I could give this a 0* I would - This excursion was terrible and I wish we could get our money back. This was sold as a sunset cruise with a nice dinner. This was in fact a booze cruise with raw burgers and an over packed boat. My family of four ended up getting off and sitting on the beach for 2+ hours. It was terrible. 1st off they picked us up at the resort at 1 pm. We then proceeded to drive around on the bus until almost 3 pm. When boarded boat we had to sit there waiting for over a hour, they then drove use in a circle until more people boarded- No joke- It was standing room only.- There were not even enough life jackets for people to go snorkeling- We were told we were going somewhere the kids count touch the bottom so they would be comfortable snorkeling (not the middle of the ocean)- Do not waste your money.

Schreeuwende Nederlandse eigenaar die zeer ongepast en respect loos ons heeft benaderd /behandeld. We hadden een catamaran snorkel tour met lunch. Aangekomen is het geen catamaran maar partyboot. Aangegeven dat dit niet is afgesproken en werden we van kastje naar de muur gestuurd.Agressief behandeld en na veel heen en weer wordt ons geld retour gegeven . De prijs die we betaald hadden voor 2 personen € 166,87 . We hebben 1 uur heen en en 1 uur terug en 2 uur op die boot. Het is de prijs niet waard! Rif is dood. Vissen zijn er nadat ze gevoerd worden. En Drinken en BBQ is van slechte kwaliteit. Nooit boeken dit !!
