Time of our Lives
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (PM) on April 28, 20262 adults

I can honestly say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was likely the most fun we've ever had in our lives. Robert and George were some of the most fun, genuine, and professional people we have encountered on the island (and that's saying a lot as we have met some wonderful people here). They made our trip special and personal. We would 100% book with this group over and over again. Thank you so very much for the experience of a lifetime!

Boating with Bart
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on September 29, 20254 adults

Our family had a great time on this fishing and snorkeling trip with Karma Charter. Although we started a bit later than planned due to some prep work by the crew, they made up for it by giving us extra time at the snorkeling spot, which we appreciated. Drinks (water and soft drinks) were provided, and the crew took care of all the fishing gear-our only job was to hold on tight to the rods 😀The water was a bit choppy during the fishing portion, but motion sickness tablets helped us manage just fine. We caught a few fish-enough to enjoy a tasty "cook your catch" lunch at Lucy’s afterward. Snorkeling at Boca Catalina was also a highlight, with clear water and plenty to see. Overall, the trip was a good value, and I’d definitely recommend Karma Charter for a fun day out on the water.
