The captain who didn't want to be there.

4hr VIP Snorkel, Pigs, Turtles (AM)4 adults

This trip was one of the worst I've ever taken. The cairain made no bones about not wanting to be there. He didn't speak to us. No directions were given, he was in the water before we were, he took us to a lunch spot that was really just a bar with limited food choices, loud music, drunk people and no tables or chairs. He spent the time there playing a video game, drinking and left us on our own. He essentially started a fight asking and giving his opinion about our president. He started the whole day by being 1 1/2 hours late picking us up and driving very irresponsibly. He didn't take us on the ore determined customized trip we had talked about and took us instead to clearly his normal touristy route. There was nothing that felt enjoyable other than we were with goid friends and got to see and swim in beautiful waters. This captain made it clear he did not want to be there.

Response from Captain

We apologize for any inconveniences caused. Our captain and tour guide both communicate with guest, to provide the same service that every other guests experience. The itinerary is explained in the description, also that lunch is bought at a floating bar/restaurant where loud music is played and drunk people can be found. The captain remarks were that the president is a good president in his opinion ( not as an argument ) Again we do apologize for any inconveniences caused and would like to advise any future guests to discontinue the trip if anyone doesn't feel comfortable.

    Stunning views, lovely crew—a beautiful time on the crystal waters off the coast of Nassau

    4hr VIP Snorkel, Pigs, Turtles (AM)2 adults

    10/10. Professional, communicative, and kind. Had a really wonderful time with the crew and incredible views. The snorkeling was stellar. We got to swim with vibrant schools of fish nestled in a picturesque reef, turtles grazing in sea grass off the most pristine beach I’ve ever visited, and I even got to trail a ray with a little remora friend for a while. Really excellent. The pigs were super cute too. Highly recommend.

    There were four adults and three kids in out group. We all had a wonderful time! The captain was knowledgeable and his family crew members were great. We went to more locations than I anticipated and the captain was very accommodating.

    Rose island tour

    4hr VIP Snorkel, Pigs, Turtles (AM)4 adults1 child

    Great trip with Captain Martin, reasonably priced and made us feel really welcome. Took us out to see a wreck where we snorkelled, swimming pigs and then we went on a hunt to find turtles - which was a success! Both crew were really accommodating and patient to help find the natural wildlife as well as providing all the equipment to snorkel. Great experience and would 100% recommend.

    The boat was great! Every stop we made was incredible. We saw amzing fish, swam with a sea turtle, and fed the pigs. We also stopped on a key and had an incredible beach all to ourselves. Great trip!!
