Negril Private Charter Catamaran (Rate For 21 Persons)

My wife and I did a private charter on the Tortuga! We went to Rick's Cafe & watched the sunset! Crew was awesome......we had a blast!

Had an amazing time with friends and our Captain went above and beyond to make the experience incredible for all of us!

Our crew was awesome. TJ went above and beyond in his service to all onboard. He was outstanding; kind and thoughtful. He made the trip delightful.

Great trip on the Sun Shine. We chartered the boat for our group of 11 and went snorkeling, swimming in the caves and to Rick's Cafe. Booking with Sharyn Blake was a breeze. She is attentive, responsive and precise with details. Crissy and her full crew could not have been more fun. They made sure everyone was safe at all times, well attended to and having the best time possible. The transfers with Michael were equally professional and enjoyable. This is our second private charter with Sharyn. We'll definitely be back for a third!!

Absolutely perfect day on the catamaran with our family. Amanda was the tour operator who communicated with us very well. Timely and friendly staff to make the day perfect. Amanda even made the invites for the rest of our family to send out to which was a great extra touch ❤️

The entire experience was amazing. We had a great time. We snorkeled and went to Rick’s Cafe. We didn’t have a lot of time at Rick’s but the waitresses were accommodating since we had time constraints, so everyone in my group of 17 was able to eat and make it back in time.

Booked this excursion for my clients, so I wasn't actually on the catamaran. However, Amanda made everything perfect for my clients. They had a wonderful time! She went above and beyond, even sent me pics of the group having fun! Excellent customer service!

My husband and I was recently invited to attend a wedding in Jamaica. The bride and groom graciously paid for a catamaran trip for their guests. The trip was booked for months in advance. A few days prior to the excursion, the couple for notified that the catamaran company overbooked and we had to take a "yacht" instead. There were 21 of us and the "yacht" was way too small to hold all of us plus the crew. There was so much wrong that happened: 1. Our driver was obnoxious. He kept trying to sell people weed. None of us were interested but he didn't want to take no for an answer. 2. Our trip was delayed on the front end. We didn't get as much time as promised. 3. Most of our party became sick because of the gas fumes. I was one that got sick and couldn't even enjoy the snorkeling. I am not a lightweight. In fact, I previously owned a boat and was use to rough water. The water was not at all rough but they left the engine running and the fumes were unbearable. 4. When we got to Rick's Cafe, we ordered drinks but then was told we had to leave immediately because the driver was ready to go. He cut us short on the backend of the trip by at least an hour. He then told the bride that we could stay but she would have to pay him more money. Very shady. Trust me, stay away from this company!

We were attending a destination wedding and the bride and groom booked a catamaran charter months in advance. A couple of days before the event the tour company informed the bride they had double booked and offered a “yacht” as a replacement. Despite what the tour company will claim there were no options offered. She has the communications saved. The bus picked us up at 1:20, with threats that if everyone wasn’t on time they would be left behind. We were all in the lobby at 1:10. The driver tried to sell us weed on the way to Margaritaville for our boat pickup at 2:00. We were there at 1:45. They did not start boarding us until 2:30, cutting a half hour off the tour. And they couldn’t beach the yacht like a catamaran so we had to be ferried out to the yacht by a tender. It was a nice boat, but a little crowded for 21 people. Some people had to remain in the main cabin in an enclosed space. We had a nice cruise before going to the snorkeling spot and on the downwind leg the main cabin filled up with diesel fumes. About half the party got sick from the carbon monoxide filling the main cabin. They never turned the engines off even when we were snorkeling making the snorkeler’s board the boat through the heavy fumes. So many people were sick they decided to skip the second snorkel spot at the cave and go directly to Rick’s cafe. Again, a tender from the back of the boat in all the diesel fumes with people getting sick, to the cafe. We got there around 4:45-5:00. The agreement was for the bus to pick us up at 6:45. The tour company started bugging the bride to move the time up and threatened to charge additional money if we didn’t leave early. Again, the wedding couple has all the saved texts with the agreement for times. There were no mistakes. We ended up leaving at 5:50. The tour company accused the bride of lying about the agreement despite the fact she has it all in writing. They were very nasty about it. It is my belief that the tour company did a bait and switch when they could book another party on the catamaran. They refuse to refund any monies and insisted that it was just motion sickness. I don’t think anyone would have gotten sick on an open catamaran. No place to trap diesel fumes and a more stable boat that rolls less. I would avoid this company like the plague. Caveat Emptor. Buyer Beware.

We picked up our private cat charter at Margaritaville, the boat was on time and clean. The crew was amazing. Momma took care of all of us and captain Brandon was awesome. Snorkeled and visited the caves . I can’t say enough about the crew. They were all wonderful and I’d go again in a heartbeat . We all can’t wait to go back.

May people said if your in Jamaica you need to go to Rick's Café. They were right!! The whole experience was fantastic. The Cliff Divers did a great job and it was worth the trip from Montego Bay. The food was good but the drinks were expensive and very small. But I have come to expect that for themed bars and restaurants. Do not let that sway you from making Ricks Café a destination spot.

When you arrive at Rick's Cafe park in the parking lot across the street walk into where they check bags and purses to make sure that everybody there is having a good time and everybody secure on entering you see a restaurant nightclub Dance Floor DJ booth and then you finally get to see what you went there to see. I see people that are a hundred and twenty some feet in the air waiting to dive as the DJ builds up the climatic dive into the turquoise waters. The crowd goes wild and they all cheer for the professional divers...but wait Rick's Cafe let's you join in and try the dives too from three different heights. After diving and dancing and drinking some rum you sit back with your loved one or friends and soak in the world famous sunset. So whether your their for and hour or a day you wont forget this unforgettable experience anytime soon.

Everything was good up to the transfer from the Catamaran to the small boats that take you to the cliffs at Rick's. The water is so rough and rocky that the transfer is difficult if you have any kind of injury. My wife's arm was jerked so hard by the helpers that she was in severe pain and could not use her arm the rest of the day. It was very crowded both on the boats and at Rick's. Next time we will take a bus.

Cannot thank Sharyn enough for how laid back and easy she was to deal with before the cruise. I may be skeptical at times for ppl online to hold up their end but I assure you that she does and the crew on the boat hold up their end as well! Our group of 50 with a few young kids couldn’t be happier and can’t recommend them enough!

Listen people, if you going to Negril and are looking for something "special" to do with your group or family, PLEASE contact Sharyn at Island Tours! I had never been to Jamaica and was trying to plan something for our family of 18-20 pp to do together and I reached out to Sharyn for a price for a private charter of a catamaran. She went ABOVE & BEYOND helping me plan an absolutely magical day! With her help, we were able to pull off an AMAZING SURPRISE 40TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION for my sister! She arranged for us all to be picked up and the bus was PROMPTLY on time! She arranged for us to have a lovely lunch together and the service and food was amazing at the Boardwalk! She arranged for a beautiful and delicious birthday cake be delivered to the restaurant! Then to top it all off, she had "Happy Birthday" banners onboard the catamaran and the crew was SO FUN and GRACIOUS! Thank you, Sharyn, for all of your efforts in helping me pull off an absolutely PERFECT DAY! Everyone had the best time that afternoon on the water with your crew! I will never use anyone else to help me plan fun in the sun in NEGRIL!! YOU ROCK, SISTER!!
