Really great experience! The captain in first me were really knowledgeable about the area in the history. The sandwiches were really good, and all in all it was a lovely day of exploring, swimming, snorkeling, and drinking if that's your poison. Our options wear beer or rum FYI for finicky drinkers like myself.

Good day tour to Anguilla, 4 stops to swim and snorkel, gear provided (BYO Towels), wonderful lunch and drinks available all day. Wife had difficulty re-boarding the boat from the water, just a few steps and one hand hold, no actual railing. The crew assisted everyone boarding which was helpful. Crew also noted cost of renting various "exclusive" spots on Anguilla as we sailed by - this was something we had no interest in, but some might like. Actually was only 1 snorkeling spot, which was disappointing. Ads indicated 3 of 4 stops would include snorkeling. But swimming was lovely. Hard to get onto beaches...a big step up out of the water at the shore, but this was the same as on St Maarten.

This is the second time we took this excursion and I can’t say enough good things about it. We had so much fun Captain Brett and Dylan were amazing. Definitely highly recommend and we will come back with his excursion again and again.

Captain Brett and first mate Dillon made this excursion absolutely incredible. We had an amazing time snorkeling and swimming at each stop & felt so safe with their guidance. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough - a family owned business that is worth your time and money! They constantly made sure we were okay, happily handed us unlimited food and drinks, and made sure we were having a great time. Not to mention the stops on this tour are absolutely beautiful and are must see. We will definetly be booking with them again, 10/10 recommend! Thank you Brett and Dillon!!

Outstanding day cruise aboard a fast 35’ outboard boat. Thrilling ride with informative tour of the island, snorkeling at multiple sites with incredible fish and turtle sightings, visit to a swim in bar at Pinel Island, lunch on board. Brett and Dillon were terrific guides. Best excursion of the week.

Fantastic day! Brett and Dillon were so much fun and kept us entertained, as well as safe! The sandwiches and snacks were great too!

Great tour to see all of the island. Two good snorkeling stops to see sea turtles, rays and fish. Lunch could be better but nothing that’s ruining your trip.

Very laid back excursion, providing everything you might need, except sunscreen. The snorkeling was fun and we did swim with turtles and saw one stingray, but not a huge amount of fish to see. It was very cool to be the only people on a beach. There were only 12 people on board, including the captain and 1 crew member. There is not much shade on board, so plan accordingly. Our tour occurred on September 29 and it was very hot. Cold drinks and mixed drinks were available all day and the sandwiches were delicious. Great day and would do this tour around the island again.

Had a great time on Brett and Dylan( or Dillion) They were informative, professional, fun and on top of all things. Took us to multiple locations where we swam or snorkeled. Couldn't have had a better day. Food and drinks were always available and given with a smile and fun ribbing 🙂
