We had a fantastic day on the full-day island charter with OceanVibes. Our group was 5 adults and two kids (4 and 6) and there was something for everyone the entire day. Angelo and Reggie were great — funny, thoughtful, and really attentive. The snorkeling was amazing, and they did a great job pointing out wildlife we definitely would have missed ourselves — baby sharks, turtles, iguanas, and lots of different fish. They were also very professional about safety, which made the day feel easy and relaxed. The island grill lunch was excellent( so much food, from ribs to lobster) , drinks were great (appreciate the local selection) , and it was a really well-paced day on the water. They even wrapped things up with a nice bottle of champagne, which was a lovely touch. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Turks and Caicos.

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.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. There is always a huge flow of water going through the reef, this water movement carves out a maze of valleys, tunnels, caverns and archways making it one of the most scenic reefs in the world. Only experienced snorkelers allowed to explore the tunnels.
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 the other crew members set up the grill and create a beach barbecued meal fit for a king. Lunch includes Lobster(when in season) barbecued and grilled Chicken, Ribs, Salad, Peas and rice, Burgers and an open bar. Beer, soft drinks and mixed drinks are included. Lunch is served island style either on the boat or barefoot on the beach.*Location may change based on weather
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.

Captain Willy and his crew were amazing! Our family of 12 had the best day. They took us to amazing beaches that we had all to ourselves. The food was amazing with so many choices. We have some big eaters and there were still leftovers. There was a wide variety of drinks that never ran out. The crew were very attentive bringing drinks and ensuring that we had a great time. I highly recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain Willie and Reggie! These guys are the greatest. We will never forget our trip!
Captain Willy, Ross, and Ericsson went above and beyond. Especially taking photos of our 11 person party on the boat, ensuring we were not thirsty, and ensuring we had a great experience snorkeling, seeing Iguana island, and beach bbq for lunch. This trip was a premium level product. We boarded and disembarked at Wymara resorts in the TCI. Highly recommend this company and particularly this crew.
Me and my family went on this boat trip for the day during our week long vacation at Turks and Caicos. We had Reggie and Captain Willie for our guides. Both of them were extremely professional, fun, kind, and experienced!!! Captain Willie is an amazing captain. He really knows his way around boats, we were very impressed. And Reggie was absolutely amazing. He cooked us an amazing BBQ on the beach. It was an unreal experience. We were the only people on the beach and swam and relaxed while Reggie cooked a great BBQ. The snorkeling experience was also amazing! Reggie guided us through the waters showing us the best spots to check out. We also had a lovely surprise on the ride home as a dolphin swam next to the boat! Captain Willie and Reggie coordinated everything so we could stop the boat and swim in the water with the dolphin!!! The go-pro video we got of that was a once in a lifetime opportunity!!! The dolphin was one foot away from us at certain points! Overall, this was our second time doing this trip during our vacation in Turks and Caicos and we highly recommend it!!! We cannot wait to come back for a third time in the near future!
We had the absolute best experience and day on our catamaran trip. Capt. Willie with crew Reggie & Jay were amazing. They BBQ'd lobster, jerk chicken, rice, veggies, plus a whole lot more... absolutley delish!!! Even had a surprise retirement cake and bottles of champagne...I felt so special... You couldn't even finish a drink and were refilled! Toured us to the most beautiful places...they really went above and beyond...I would highly recommend! It was the BEST!
Had a great time! Willie, Jay and Reggie were great hosts and the food and drink was good! Would definitely recommend to others!
The Captain (Wily) and his two crew mates were absolutely fantastic! Jay & Reggie were amazing ! Did a beach BBQ that was incredible! If you ever get to Heaven this crew will be there to welcome you. Thanks Wily, Jay and Reggie!
What a great day! We had so much fun on the catamaran. The crew was amazing. So friendly and helpful and they made us an incredible lunch, ribs, lobster, fish, rice, Mac n cheese. It was delicious. Would definitely recommend.
Captain Willie, Reggie, and Jay were a fabulous team. The boat was great for our private party. Fresh fruit right away. Drinks were plentiful! The BBQ on the Beach was fantastic! They even brought cake and champagne for the birthdays, retirements and anniversaries that we were celebrating1. Everyone had a great time and we got some great group photos. Most of us brought our own snorkle gear but they had plenty of clean gear available. I would highly recommend this Private Catamaran Sail, Snorkel and Beach BBQ! It did not disappoint! Hoping to get some Ocean Vibes T-shirts!
Our family of 8 done this excursion & it was well worth the money we spent. It was a great day & so much fun! Loved the lunch on the beach & the drinks on the boat. Highly recommend to anyone. 🌞
Captain Maycork, Reggie and Angelo made sure we had the time of our lives on our day trip! They were a great, fun crew! We enjoyed a guided snorkel tour, seeing the iguanas and a delicious bbq on the beach - they really know their way around a grill! We also had the added bonus of swimming with Scooter, a local dolphin. Can’t recommend these guys more! Thanks for a memorable day!
After postponing our trip to Turks and Caicos for two years due to the pandemic, we finally arrived on the island last week. We chartered a 7 hour private catamaran sail, snorkel and beach BBQ and I am so glad that we did. We were a group of 11 with ages ranging from 72 to 7. There was something for everyone on the trip and Captain Wayne and Reggie were super friendly and accommodating. They shared the history of the island, let us set the agenda for the day, and provided the best meal of the trip. They took pictures for us and underwater footage of our snorkeling trip. They were great with our kids, easy to talk to, and were patient and kind. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for the gift they gave us - the day was amazing and everything we hoped for and more.
Fantastic experience on the 7hr private catamaran adventure! Captain Mike and crew Brent and Flo were fun and knowledgeable, they went above and beyond to make our day memorable. They made sure we saw lots of sea life on the snorkeling portion, entertained us on the boat, and cooked an amazing local caught lunch right on the beach. The best way to see the Island, we will definitely book them again!
We have done the private sailing and beach picnic day with Ocean Vibes for 4 separate trips now, and we are already looking forward to our next one. Wayne, Reggie and now Brent are wonderful! The snorkeling is amazing, the food can’t be beat, and we can always trust they’re doing everything in their power to help us have the best day of our trip to Turks & Caicos. You won’t be disappointed.
Of all the beautiful places in the world, Turks & Caicos is our favorite. Of all the favorite things we like to do here, the 7 hour tour with Captain Wayne and Reggie is our number one, top, best, favorite, most longed for choice. This years tour wasn’t our first, and to have Reggie remember my daughters favorite fish to view while snorkeling, was astounding. This is so much more than a “boat ride”. This is our opportunity to enjoy SAILING, with SAILS, and the power of the wind alone, through emerald green seas of unmatched beauty. (Anguilla is a close second for us). This is beautiful music broadcast via Bluetooth, this is sophisticated conversation with the very handsome, totally charming, brilliant Captain Wayne. (Close your eyes, and listen to his mellifluous voice, and you’d swear your speaking to WILL SMITH). The care we are given on this tour is extraordinary, almost magical, in every way. The destinations are impeccable, and when Wayne and Reggie perform their culinary brilliance on the beach with 2 barbecues and a six-foot folding table, you won’t believe your eyes. THEN TASTE THE FOOD! You are going to flip out it’s so damned delicious. All this and a fully stocked bar, and a toilet below decks! Listen, I’m not joking. This is heaven, and you haven’t lived until you experience this, and once you do, you’ll ACHE to come back and experience it again. WE LOVE YOU CAPTAIN WAYNE, and REGGIE!
STOP!!! Stop right here, right now and BOOK THIS TOUR! Stop researching other companies in T&C, this one is the best, HANDS DOWN! We chartered a private catamaran sail for the day and the captain (Wayne) and crew were the best: they were very professional, friendly, and fun. They made sure we were safe but had an exceptional day. I'm sure the 1/2 day is great, but the full day includes the beach BBQ= this is a MUST. These guys know how to cook! This was, by far, the best meal we had while on the island during our stay. We got to snorkel, eat amazing food, visit Iguana Island, take photos on a beautiful beach, and swim with dolphins. There is plenty of shade on the boat for a full day tour, no need to worry about being in the sun too much. They had great snorkel equipment and plenty of water, drinks, and food. Ocean Vibes made sure that our family and friends made memories to last a lifetime. We are grateful.
Enjoy perfection on planet earth when you place yourself in the able hands of Captain Wayne and Reggie of Ocean Vibes for a full day catamaran adventure in Turks and Caicos. Don’t book at the hotel, book at TripAdvisor and spend the best day of your life in the pristine waters and immaculate landscape of Turks and Caicos. We were astounded and thrilled by the sophistication, erudition, and down to earth coolness of Captain Wayne. His huge heart, respect for our planet and all of its creatures blew us away. His communication was crystal clear and always on point. As a lifelong native of TCI he will tell you the REAL truth about what’s happening here and take you to magical places where your heart lifts and your spirit sings. I’m telling you everyone that was in our party today is in heaven right now. What a delicious day. Reggie was as interested to learn about each of us as we were to learn about hIm and Captain Wayne while we discovered the serenity of this glorious place. We saw: sharks, Jo Jo the Dolphin (do not touch!), 2 huge rays, trigger fish, coral, yellow tailed snapper, hermit crabs, and Iguanas all up close and personal! We snorkeled, rode the-sub-wing, ate delicious Wayne made barbecue, took gorgeous photos, and sailed in Wayne’s wonderful catamaran to mind blowingly beautiful private beaches. This experience was ineffably glorious. Don’t be fooled by imitators. Book with Captain Wayne and OCEAN VIBES. I’m serious. You won’t be disappointed. Let your spirit soar.
We did the full day and the half day trips in the same week with 2 different groups of our friends/family. Both days were terrific! Reggie was a great snorkel guide, he swims like a fish! The beach picnic was a wonderful experience and lunch was to die for! Their jerk chicken was fabulous and there were plenty of drinks to wash down the spice! Our trip was celebrating my husband turning 50. When they overheard us talking about it they popped a bottle of bubbles! We got picked up/arrived back on time. Their answer service team are terrific. We would not return to Turks without spending more time with these guys, FUN FUN FUN!!!!
We had a perfect day out on the sea. Captain Wayne and Reggie were awesome and we had the time of our lives! Would recommend everyone who goes to Turks takes this excursion!
5 couples went on the private full day tour and we were amazed. We had the time of our lives. We first stopped at a reef that was breathtaking to snorkel, then saw a mom and baby dolphin that was swimming right by the boat. We then docked at a deserted island where the water was the most beautiful site I've ever seen and had an amazing bbq lunch on the beach! on our way back we saw JoJo the dolphin and got to get in the water with her. It was surreal. Captain Wayne and Reggie were nothing short of spectacular. I thank them for our favorite day of our week in Turks and hope to see them again someday! Oh and there was no shortage of keeping us hydrated :)!
We did the full day with beach bbq and it was the highlight of our trip. Captain Wayne and first mate Reggie took great care of us. They pointed out all the landmarks and prepared a delicious lunch bbq on a deserted island. After lunch they took us diving for sand dollars and even made sure everybody on board got one. It was a great day!
