First mate and captain were so nice and attentive. Made all of us feel so relaxed and showed us an amazing g time on iguana island and took us to the best snorkeling reef that we’ve been to. Highly recommend.

Itinerary
Board our vessel for your sailing and snorkelling adventure and make yourself comfortable as we set out on one of the most fun adventures available in Turks & Caicos. You will be picked up on Grace Bay Beach and then set Sail along the North Coast of Providenciales, enjoying the views while relaxing on the bow nets and looking out for dolphins and other marine life. We will head out to the Barrier Reef for our snorkel stop. Follow one of our experienced local guides on one of the most beautiful guided snorkel tours as we snorkel and explore the Leeward Reef, one of the healthiest living reefs in the Atlantic. You will see the usual residents like Snappers, Groupers, Sergeant majors, Trigger fish, Barracuda, Needle fish and sometimes Sharks Rays and Turtles. Leeward Reef is part of the Turks and Caicos Barrier reef network which is the third largest barrier reef system in the world.
Our guides will take you ashore and take you on a nature tour, a guided walking tour of this natural sandbar. This area which is home to a large family of Native Rock Iguanas, is surrounded by a series of sandbars resulting in a shallow lagoon area at the back. Our guides will take you for a walk along the lagoon, explain to you how the sandbar was formed and give you a bit more information about the area, history of the islands etc. During this part of the nature walk guides will point out baby turtles, baby sharks, bonefish, barracuda, mojarra and sometimes rays and flamingoes. Whilst guests take the nature tour those not interested in wildlife can happily swim or enjoy relaxed walks on the beautiful beach. Lunch is a selection of sandwiches (and we can accommodate vegetarians) an open bar. Beer, soft drinks and mixed drinks are included. Lunch is served island once we reboard the boat and hoist the sails for the cruise back
We do not stop at both Little Water Cay and Half Moon Bay. The location chosen is dependent on the weather. Both Islands are home to the native Rock Iguanas but Little Water Cay is where the National Trust operate their guided tours at a cost of $10 cash per person.

Its exactly what they advertise. Nice open cat with upper deck and plenty of room. Snorkeling was great and the food was perfect for the occasion. Guys were great fun and really took care of us. The iguanas were really cool and cruising down the island was really nice.
Best experience by far!!! The staff was amazing and so accommodating. A must if you come to Turks.
Willie and Reggie were top notch. We had so much fun and they were so accommodating to our family and the fun that we wanted to have.
We had such a great time on the catamaran! Great crew who took great care of us. It was so helpful having a guide while we snorkeled. Highly recommend!
We had an AMAZING time on our 4 hour trip! Maycork, Erickson and Keyno were outstanding making sure everyone had an incredible experience. The boat, food, drinks, snorkeling, visit to other beaches was all A+++. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We will write a review for sure
From start to finish, Captain Willie, Tae, and Darlin were exceptional hosts! We went on the 4-hour sail and snorkel. The catamaran was well cared for and spacious, the playlist music brought good vibes and camaraderie for everyone, and Tae and the crew were very safety conscious as we snorkeled on the reef. Iguana Island was amazing, and at the swimming beach, our last stop, I came away with some very pretty shells. As far as food - fantastic cut fruit, large cold cut sandwiches - nobody went home hungry! Water was available as well as local beer. Rum punch was mixed up up by Tae, as well as Dark and Stormy’s on request! The front of the catamaran was fun to chill or jump into the water from when anchored. All masks/snorkles appeared new. Very memorable day on the water! Thank you for the good vibes!
We did a half day morning charter with our 2 year old. It was perfection. Reggie our steward was so thoughtful with our toddler - taking him by the hand around Iguana Island and leading us individually on an exciting snorkel tour. Captain Willie brought us to exciting locations that worked for our mixed group.
Amazing time on the boat. Captain Will and first mate Reggie made sure we had a great time. The snorkeling was beautiful and the boat ride home was scenic. They slowed down the trip back so we could enjoy the sunset, and it was magical. Great day on the water. Highly recommend the experience!
Willy and Reggie were a pleasure to sail with. There was plenty of food, which was quite good. Lots of beverages. The boat was well-maintained, and we enjoyed our snorkeling and iguana Island experience.
We had a fantastic time with Reggie, Jay, and Capt Mike! We went on a private charter with them and they made celebrating our 50th birthdays a great experience. Very professional and went out of their way to make the day fantastic. Definitely recommend!!
We used ocean vibes on 8/11/25 afternoon sail and snorkel excursion. This team is first class from captain to 1st officer to 2nd officer. Highly recommend!! 10/10
Fantastic experience with the crew! They showed us a wonderful time while keeping us safe. Food and drinks were great! Cannot recommend enough!
The catamaran picked us up at 8:40am on 3 July on the beach in front of the Sands, the resort we stay at when we come to TCI (we have been here 10+ times, but have never done a private catamaran sail). We are so glad we took the plunge and set this up with Viator back in April. When we got off the boat at around 1pm my wife and I looked at each other and simultaneously said to each other WOW! We had a simply marvelous time. There were 5 of us on the boat (wife,son and daughter-in-law, and sister). Two crew members… a captain, Captain Willie, and steward, Reggie. They were wonderful. So fun, friendly, and accommodating. Once we pushed off the beach and Reggie had finished the safety briefing the first thing the Captain asked is “any place in particular you want to go”? We basically said “we’re in your hands”so he said we would sail out to the reef and snorkel, take the sails down and motor to two different private beaches, and then put the sail back up and either sail or, depending on the wind, motor-sail back to the Sands. The number one reason we chose this company in the first place is that they said in their marketing literature that they would put up the sails and we would be under sail power as much as possible. We put the main up immediately after getting underway and sailed all the way up to the reef without the motor. It was wonderful. I know how to sail so Captain Willie let me sail some on two of the legs. Probably the only negative I will mention in this entire review is I was hoping they would also raise the headsail too. When I asked Willie if he would raise it he said they had unfortunately torn the headsail the night before on a sunset cruise and had not had time to get it fixed yet. I was a tiny bit disappointed, but I do understand. The trip out to the reef was about 45 minutes. We anchored, Reggie passed out the fins, masks, and snorkels that the boat provided, and we snorkeled for a little over a ½ hour. There were a few other boats out with just, but everybody was spread out so it was no big deal. Reggie went in with us and he pointed out different fish, etc., as we snorkeled around. When we got back on the boat they had put out an amazing array of snacks for us to munch on, and as throughout the trip, there were tons of drink options (both alcoholic and NA) always available. I might as well mention now that all the food was amazing. We asked and Reggie said the company has their own Chef. Let me tell you he or she is awesome. After snorkeling we motored back to land and anchored at the first of two beautiful beaches. We hung out in waste deep water and Reggie took some of us up onto the shoal to see the iguanas that live there. Once back on the boat Reggie has set out the lunch food so we ate grouper, shrimp, conch… really all different types of seafood, along with different salads and vegetables. Way way more than our expectation of sandwiches and chips. While eating lunch we sailed to the next private beach, and once there we hung out in the crystal clear water some more. We were the only people as far as we could see. And then, when we got back on the boat the crew surprised us with Champagne and birthday cake as it was my birthday. So much fun. After that we motor-sailed back to the Sands and ended the day with big hugs all around. BTW we got back to the Sands a little after 1pm. Bottom line… the excursion was just what we were looking for, and Ocean Vibes executed it near flawlessly. We loved it.
I wanna give a big shout out to Ross, Erickson and Angello from the Ocean Vibes boat charter!!! These guys were Amazing!!!. Yesterday June 4 2025 I accompanied my son and his classmates who attends the A. Louis Garland Thomas High School. Their amazing 2nd form teacher Mrs. Ferguson organized a summer tour for her students. There were 2 more amazing teachers along with another parent who were also there. Ok the crew member assisted us to board the boat and then after settling down they did an head count of everyone on board. They were very informative and they gave clear instructions on the safety rules of the boat. The captain and the other crew members were so Kool we felt safe and comfortable. The communicated with the kids I would allow my child on that tour by himself anytime. The crew members introduced us to Jojo Famous dolphin 🐬 of Turks and Caicos who for a while swim alongside our boat. Oh lord don't even mention when it was time for snorkeling. The got our attention they told us what to expect and what not to do. There were many of us who can't swim including my son and I but with the confidence that they will give us the adventure of a lifetime I wasn't gonna pass on this.my son and I took a leap of faith and we entered the water to snorkel for the first time and oh boy I thought I was gonna drown but never under Mr. Ross watch he first assisted my son and have him feeling confident that he was now ok and my son did better than I did. But after Mr. Ross came to me he helped me to relax and then told me to look down omg for the first in my life I was looking down at a Shark who was minding his own business and the colourful fishes. He attended to all the kids who were snorkeling and they had a wonderful time aftward we were assist to go back on Board by Mr. Angello who was watching everyone while they snorkeled to see who needed assistance. We had a wonderful time we then went to iguana island where were enjoyed the beach after lunch was served on the boat. And then the worst happened it was to head back to our drop off point. I didn't want this day to end but I'm luck because we live here in Turks and Caicos where booking Oceans vibes tour is just a phone call away. The kids had a great time and big thanks to Mrs. Ferguson for taking me along this was my first boat tour and it was marvelous I enjoyed every moment the service given by these 3 gentle men was highly appreciated so if your not from Turks and Caicos and you want to book your half day boat tour and more Oceans vibes has the vibes you will never forget... Thank you guys keep up the good customer service untill we book again which is soon....yah man!!!
My family took the 4 hour catamaran cruise last week during our stay in Providenciales. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We were staying in a VRBO and drove ten minutes to Grace Bay Beach and were picked up in front of a resort. They do offer direct pickup from the beach on many resorts on Grace Bay however, but the pickup is just as easy if you are staying in a rental house. We took the afternoon tour and sailed with Captain Willie and Reggie, both of the crew were extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great time on the cruise. We were taken to a beautiful snorkeling spot and snorkeled for about 45 minutes. All gear is provided and you need not worry about anything gear wise. The snorkel was amazing and (weather dependent) beginner friendly. The reef was beautiful and there was much marine life to see. After the snorkel, we were provided a sandwich lunch with delicious fresh fruit and an open bar for the adults wanting to have an extra good time. We then deboarded at Half Moon Bay and taken on a short walk through the brush to feed and observe iguanas, we saw about 10 in total and they are so cute. This tour is definitely worth the money if you want to participate in the snorkeling and short iguana trek. There are also options to stay on the boat and hang out on the beach at Half Moon if you are not physically able to partake in the activities or have small children but still want to be with your family. The boat was in great condition and very clean. The sights and views are beautiful and everyone involved made the tour worth the ticket price. A must-do tour if you are staying on Grace Bay!!
We had the best day!! The crew was so fun and attentive to our family. They made sure we always had a drink, served us a great lunch and took us to the most beautiful spots. They even took a ton of photos for us :). Highly recommend this tour!
Captain Willy, first mate Reggie and Nicole were incredible. Best crew I’ve ever had the opportunity to spend the day with. Thank you!
We had the best time!! Reggie and Will were the best, and took us to the most beautiful beaches. Reggie served excellent margaritas, and they had so many snacks for us and the kids. One of our very favorite days! Thank you!
What an amazing day! 9 of us life long besties went on this trip to celebrate all our birthdays and it was everything and more than we expected! The food was amazing and Reggie and Willy our boat crew were terrific! They went above the norm to make sure we were happy! A surprise birthday cake and champagne was even presented! So nice of them. The bar and coolers were well stocked! Highly recommend using this outfit and request Willy and Reggie!
We had an amazing time. The staff were great knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. They tailored the experience to what we wanted to do.
We had an excellent time on our sail! Our little guy (4) did not want to snorkel and when we got back on the boat he was well taken care of with a nice plate of fresh fruit munching away. One of our tour guides seemed quite upset when we ran into some garbage (too much to pick up) on the island and he took pictures of it, shows they really care about there home. Great experience!
Great trip - comfortable catamaran with rest room onboard. Pick up was easy to find and right on time. Fantastic crew with lots of knowledge of the islands, exceptional places to snorkel or just swim, food and drinks onboard were tasty and plentiful - happy to accommodate dietary preferences - sunset was amazing and the crew took great pictures of all 12 of us. Highly recommend - enjoy!
This private tour exceeded our every expectation. Angelo & Reggie gave us a positively perfect 4 hours with a delicious lunch.
The whole entire crew was awesome. Reggie was amazing with the snorkeling. The captain did amazing job with the boat. Recommend this trip to anyone.
We had so much fun sailing with Reggie & Captain Willie! The food and thoughtfulness exceeded our expectations! They went above & beyond to ensure we had a great experience.
Fantastic way to see Turks from the water. Captain Willie and his first mate Reggy were great. So knowledgeable about the area and focused on making sure we had a wonderful and safe experience both sailing and snorkeling. And the food that was prepared was excellent, taking into account allergies too! The company as a whole was great to communicate with. Highly recommend this experience!
The crew was fantastic! It was the highlight of our trip. They had to reschedule the first reservation due to the rain but it was week worth the wait. Easy to communicate with
Reggie and Willie showed us an amazing time. We snorkeled, saw iguanas, and dolphins came right up to our boat. Lunch, snacks and drinks were plentiful. A great day for our family vacation - there were 9 of us, ages 6-77. Highly recommended this sailing with Reggie and Willie. It even rained and they kept us safe.
Angelo and Captain Willy were fantastic. The food was great, full bar and excellent service. They even brought a birthday cake and champagne for my friend’s birthday
Great trip! Good snorkeling, an amazing private beach swimming experience. We loved it. The crew was amazing we wanted to stay all day! Food was great.
Great time cruising around Grace Bay, then snorkeling the reefs and finally enjoying the Iguanas beach. The captain Willie and crew (Angelo) went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable!!!
Great time. Food exceeded expectations and boat and crew were great. It was the right amount of time and the iguana island was nice.
I could rave about this company forever. I chartered Island Magic with 7 of my bridesmaids for my bachelorette party and it was absolutely a 10000/10. It made our trip and was everyone’s favorite activity. The crew were AMAZING and so was the boat. They had food catered from the Sibonne’s chef and soooo much variety for drinks. We went snorkeling on the reef and saw a sea turtle, and then to Iguana Island. On the way back the crew surprised us with 2 bottles of Moet champagne! And one of the crew (the snorkel guide) also took photos the entire time and air dropped them at the end. They also had a great sound system that we got to use the aux for. Do yourself a favor and book the charter is you’re considering it!
We booked the 4 hr private catamaran trip and we loved every minute of it!! We were in Turks and Caicos for a big family vacation (3 generations) Everyone’s favorite day was the day we did this tour! We started off getting to say hello to a dolphin on our way out. Our first stop was snorkeling, then to Iguana Island, and then we were off to a sandbar to search for shells! They served us an amazing lunch, and surprised us with a bottle of champagne! My husband said their rum punch was better than the one at our resort haha. Both guides were so friendly, and I wish we could’ve stayed on that catamaran all day!! Don’t hesitate, book it!!!
I read many reviews for many companies before booking our private sail excursion with Ocean Vibes. The consistent positive reviews proved to be accurate! Captain Willy and first mate Angelo were the best! They were both so fun, knowledgeable and helpful. Talk about luxury! They both made sure we didn't lift a finger for anything. Our trip came with lunch. We were expecting basic deli sandwiches but were pleasantly surprised with the spread - nothing basic about it, and SO good! We also had a gluten sensitive guest and they went above and beyond to accommodate. We were having so much fun we ended up extending our outing, and they surprised us with a cake and champagne to celebrate my birthday. This trip was the perfect addition to our trip. I can't wait to book them again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. You will not be disappointed if you choose Ocean Vibes for your outing!
I read a ton of reviews before we booked the private half day motor catamaran cruise with Ocean Vibes. They picked our three families (13 people) up on the beach in front of our hotel. The boat was huge and nice and clean! Captain Angelo was up top driving the boat, and Tae was our first mate/snorkel guide/bartender/photographer! He was so kind and fun and helpful! Captain Angelo did a safety briefing and then we went to our first stop at the reef to snorkel. When we got in from that, there were appetizers set out and the fully stocked bar was open for the rest of the trip with everything you could think of! Our next stop was to a private beach to swim and explore and take photos. Then we went to an amazing sandbar for about 45 minutes, and swam and snorkeled in about two feet of the most gorgeous water and looked for shells and coral and conch and sand dollars! It was like heaven on earth and I could have stayed there all day! I want to come back to just hang there for hours!!!! When we got back on board there were all kinds of platters of food set out for us which were perfect and delicious. To top it all off, we had four teens celebrating birthdays, and they provided a delicious birthday cake and a bottle of champagne! (Totally above and beyond anything we expected!) This day on the water was the highlight of our trip BY FAR…and is the reason we will plan to come back and do it again soon!!!! Thank you Ocean Vibes/Tae/and Angelo for such an amazing and unforgettable day!!!
We did the 4 hour Private Catamaran Sail & Snorkel Tour from Grace Bay Beach and it was AMAZING! Captain Michael & Reggie were the best! They were so good with the kids! The food was amazing and fully stocked cooler/bar. We were celebrating a 70th birthday for my mom and two birthday for the kids. They went above and beyond with a surprise Birthday cake and bottle of Champagne. Reggie was great at taking videos & pictures and made sure to involve the kids with raising the sails. The kids had a blast and it was an unforgettable experience. I will definitely book with Ocean Vibes when I am back in Turks & Caicos. Thank you Ocean Vibes for an unforgettable experience!
This tour was absolutely amazing!! Reggie, Angelo, Wayne, Tay were the absolute best throughout this entire trip they were absolutely so helpful. 100 stars if I could give them, the hospitality was unbelievable and I would recommend them to anyone I could.
What a wonderful experience! The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and they were wonderful guides. They took great care of us and handled everything. Thanks Wayne and crew!!!
The ocean vibes experience was amazing. We loved Wayne and Reggie- they made the experience perfect for our family. That was the best day of our entire trip! The food and drinks were also wonderful- HIGHLY recommend.
We really enjoyed the 4 hour private catamaran sail and snorkel! We went with a group of 10 girls for a bachelorette party and highly recommend for anyone looking for something to do. The guys on the boat were so nice and fun! The food was really good too!
We had an absolutely amazing time on the private Catamaran. The Captain and crew were amazing, Bambino did and awesome job. The views were gorgeous and we had a blast at Iguana Island. Food was delicious and the drinks were so good. We will definitely be coming back!doing this again. Thank you for such a magical day!
They were awesome! The entire experience was amazing! The crew was very enthusiastic and entertaining and took us to beautiful beaches. I highly recommend them, very much worth it!
Absolutely fabulous!! The best crew out there!! Will go back again and again!!! Best day ever!!! So accommodating and so knowledgeable about the area! Loved every minute.
Reggie and the gang were AMAZING !! They took care of everything for us and made us feel so special ! We had such a great time and on this girls day trip!! We made wonderful photos, laughed and danced and made lifetime memories!!! We will DEFINITELY use Ocean Vibes on our next trip
Ocean Vibes is INCREDIBLE! Our half day snorkel and sail trip was a huge highlight for my group of 18 and the crew of three was incredible. They went above and beyond and I found it to be a bargain given everything we got- they served full open bar, platters of snacks and THEN a surprise seafood FEAST! When we booked the boat they said they would supply snacks, but they did way more than that and then had a surprise birthday cake for me and champagne. They did a great tour (three stops- snorkeling, iguana beach and then another beach). On each of the stops the crew provided a tour (the took the group snorkeling and to see iguanas on the beach) rather than stay on the boat. And then on the way back to shore we saw a dolphin in the water and they stopped the boat for all to jump in. Just an amazing time!
Our family of eight (four adults + four children) has enjoyed many sailing / snorkel charters over the years, but everyone in our group agreed this was the best. Captain Michael and his crew made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed for the entire morning. The adults in our group appreciated the crew's attention to safety - especially for the kids - without feeling over-supervised. Highly recommend Ocean Vibes if you're looking for a chill time on beautiful Grace Bay.
We booked a 4 hour private catamaran sail through Viator with Ocean Vibes and Scuba on this catamaran. It was one of the highlights for our first visit to Turks and Caicos. There was just the 4 of us so we literally had a 1 to 1 ratio with the crew and Captain. Two people who specialized on the scuba portion, one person to take us on a private visit to Iguana Island plus the Captain. Pick-up and drop off at the Ritz was seamless, beverages were unlimited, food was delicious and the team made sure we got to experience everything we wanted. Well worth the price to charter your own catamaran for the half day!
Reggie, Angelo and Captain Tony were all so nice and welcoming. We had the best time on this excursion, highly recommend!!
