The Half Day Private Charter was amazing! Captain Gleason and his First Mate, Deshaun, were awesome!
As others have said, this was not a planned excursion, with pre-destined stops. Instead, we gave some ideas on what we wanted to see, and they made our experience come to life! All of our expectations were met AND exceeded!!!
Going to Iguana Island and walking over the public land mass that was created only several years ago by hurricanes, was probably the best part for us. As we arrived on the shore, we saw another boat. Its guests were hanging out on a shallow sand bar. But Capt Gleason said, “This is where the Atlantic side meets the Caribbean side,” and pointed in a direction off in the distance. He said, “It’s a minute walk that way.”
Deshaun expertly led us on this short walk, giving us history about the islands natural habitats, which of course are mainly iguanas, but also include gulls. Aside from the many iguanas we saw, we observed several sets of seagull’s eggs!
But the “money shot”—which we were not expecting to hit like it did (Deshaun rightfully let this unfold on its own and didn’t spoil it)—was worth the excursion in and off itself!!! I’m not going to spoil it for those reading my review, lol; please, just take my word for it: It is breathtaking!!!! (Again, this short trek takes you from the Caribbean Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean). It’s a must see / do!!!
From there, Gleason and Deshaun expertly guided us around TCI, showing us different places such as, Noah’s Ark, Pelican Point, houses along the canal, the grounded ship, and more! As it was a hot day, Gleason gave us a chance to cool off by swimming in some magnificent waters.
From meeting Chris on the beach, and connecting with Dudley, the owner, Island Seaduction is first class all the way!
With snacks, soft drinks, and Rum Punch included, the Half Day Private Charter is the way to go!!!
I highly recommend it!!!
