Best full day private charter on the island! We have been chartering Kenard’s catamarans for 20 years and our family looks forward to it every time! The beachside bbq was absolutely delicious! Fresh grouper, steak, chicken, shrimp, fried rice, conch salad, all amazing! The snorkeling was great! Ask for Brian & Kensey to charter. They are great with children and truly are the best! The boat is always spotless! Best value!!! Almost everyone, we see Jo-Jo!!

Itinerary
From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your captain and attentive crew. After a brief introduction to the vessel, set sail along the world-renowned Grace Bay Beach toward your first stop at the vibrant barrier reef for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. Continue to a secluded beach, where the yacht anchors close to shore. Explore the island or enjoy a refreshing swim while your chef prepares a sumptuous buffet lunch with options for every taste, including vegetarians. After dining, the afternoon is yours—choose to sail to another island or unwind with our floating “party island” inflatables for added fun and relaxation. As the day winds down, your yacht will glide back toward the marina around 4:00 pm, concluding an unforgettable and fully customized charter experience designed to your wishes.

I took our family of 16 out with Brian and Kensley for a full day of fun again today. The boat is big and perfect for a day of cruising the islands. We had kids, teens and adults. We snorkeled, walked sand bars, visited iguana island, etc. Lunch is a highlight. These guys have worked together for 20 years and are very courteous, safe and fun. Highly recommend.
The boat was great. The captain and first mate were wonderful. The food and drink was outstanding. Highly recommended.
We had a great day with Captain Colin and Junior/Sunshine. They were an awesome team! Lunch at Sand Dollar Beach was fantastic. We didn’t want to get off the boat.
Great boat, great crew, cooking, helping, explaining. Beautiful sunset, dinner, drinks and stories. Strongly recommend
This cruise surpassed any expectations. The yacht is amazing, the crew is on point, and the food was over the top with lobster, conch, grouper, etc. A bonus was having Jojo the dolphin follow us the whole time. Couldn't ask for a better 60th birthday experience.
My wife and I did the full day charter, and it was the **highlight** of our trip to Turks & Caicos. We shared with the Captain what we were interested in, and he had some recommendations - and then we were off! Calm waters, a beautiful day - and plenty of shade when the sun got to be too much for us :) Snacks, meals, drinks - all the logistics were taken care of. We just showed up, and had a blast - snorkeling the barrier reef (only doable by boat), playing with JoJo!! (we felt very lucky), visiting remote beaches, and appreciating the beauty of Turks & Caicos. We stayed in Grace Bay, and that’s an experience of course. But it’s also a bubble. Turks & Caicos has so much more to offer too, and if you’re looking to get off the beaten path then I’d recommend Kenard for a full-day ( I think a half day would’ve felt too rushed). Get your friends together - the boat has a large capacity; we saw the sister boat out as well, and they had 18 people on it with family and kids - or splurge for a special day with just you and a loved one.
Took a full day private charter cruise for my family of 12. We saw lizards, dolphins, coral reefs and private islands. Food, drinks and snacks were excellent. The captain and his assistant were excellent hosts.
Our family chartered with Kenard for a full day. Captain Brian and first mate Kinsley were super great and we really enjoyed them. BBQ on the beach prepared by our Captain was delicious and the best meal we ate on our trip! We snorkeled, met Jojo, ate, and were able to spend time getting to know the island a bit better! The weather didn’t cooperate with us, but we made the best of it! We highly recommend cruising with Kenard if you go to Turks and Caicos.
Booked a private full day cruise for 12 and many on the trip said it was their favorite part of the full week. Captain Brian and first mate Kensley too great care of us. The day went fast … pickup on the beach close t the house we rented on Grace Bay/Bight Settlement, cruise to snorkeling, stops at Iguana Island and Pine Cay (I think that was the name, the one known for sand dollars). Before we knew it, it was time to head home. Food and drinks were top notch. Danishes and a fruit tray when we boarded and a full and delicious spread for lunch. Cooler to access drinks whenever you wanted and plenty to go around. Tips - don’t forget to reapply sunscreen - the sun is intense, even with clouds but the breeze makes you forget it. Several people on our trip got burnt - bring coozies to hold cans/bottles
This was definitely the highlight of our trip. We did the full day excursion with Brian and Kinsley. We started the day with an amazing snorkel, saw lots of fish and a beautiful reef. We next dropped anchor right off of a gorgeous beach that we had to ourselves in about 4 feet of water. We floated and drank while lunch was prepared. The lunch was amazing. The conch salad and fish tasted like they came right out of the water immediately before they were prepared. We opted to hang out on the beach and in the water over there until it was time to head back. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a full day excursion or half-day excursion to contact Kenard
This cruise was an amazing experience, the captain made us feel at home the minute we aboard the yacht. The rum punch is to die for. OMG, the gourmet lunch is unmatched. We had a wonderful time experiencing all the private islands they took us to. Weather was cooperating, setting the whole day for a beautiful experience. Book yours today and don't skimp on the whole day experience, it's totally worth it.
Brian and Sonny (Sunny) were great! We had a group of 9 and booked a full day private charter and had a blast. Weather was perfect. Both guys were great hosts and lunch was probably our best meal on the island. If had to change anything I would have opted to snorkel in the morning and the afternoon (and skip the bar island). Can't say enough - you need to be out on the water to appreciate how beautiful the water is here. Highly recommend and want to book again for tomorrow.
Had an absolutely amazing day. The crew was great, very attentive to our group, the service was great, food provided for lunch was more than I expected in a great way!! We also booked the sunset dinner cruise for the same day, the dinner meal was above expectations. Would gladly book again. The only room for improvement was trying to communicate with the company before booking. I sent a couple emails, called left messages and still didn’t hear back, I had a friend call a few times before she was able to get ahold of someone.
I can't say enough about our full day trip on Kenard. I booked this trip for my brother's 50th birthday and he and our wives had an amazing time. From the moment we stepped foot on the boat we were treated like VIPs. Capt Brian, Kensley and Collin are exceptional hosts who really go out of their way to make your trip special. We went snorkeling, hand fed iguanas on Iguana Island and layed out on their giant raft. Lunch was over the top! Grilled lobster, chicken, steak, rice and conch ceviche'. The rum punch and Prosecco were excellent and we all drank more than enough! I would gladly recommend this trip to anyone that wants a first class experience. Andy Tucker
Tremendous experience. Bryan and Kingsley were terrific. We experience a very strong storm during our cruise and they were expert at handling things while also keeping thing fun and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!
The yacht was amazing. My friends and I had a great time . Brian and Sunshine were very accommodating and friendly. Would book with them again next time I’m in Turks and Caicos !!!
Everyone had a fantastic time and Kenard and his crew were great to be with. The shore lunch was amazing and the locations were top notch. Just a wonderful day.
I really enjoyed snorkeling in a safe environment and hunting for sand dollars - everyone found some and the kids loved it! The questions about masks don't apply because we were not in public areas - there was no concern about safety - everything was very clean and safe.
The crew was awesome. They took care of us the entire day. Snack, lots of beverages and the food was amazing. The entire day was a really good time. We snorkeled, went to some islands and had great music the entire day. The Yacht was great. The accommodations were very good. Very comfortable and clean. We were well taken care of by the captain and crew.
We had an amazing time on this yacht!! They provided the alcohol and an incredible lunch! The captain took us a private island, Iguana Island and spot to see “Jojo” the dolphin! Enjoy the pics - they are a fraction of the joy we had! Thank you, Robo and Mike!
Great staff, friendly and professional. Boat is spotless! Perfect day food was beautiful and tasted wonderful.
Brian (the Captain) and Kinsley were fantastic. They were so much fun and very knowledgeable and helpful. The lunch of grouper, chicken and beef was perfect. They took us to Iguana Island, Pine Cay and out snorkeling. I highly recommend this all day cruise. Money well spent. Enjoy life!!!
Captain and First Mate were very attentive (with great personalities), food was delicious and cold beverages served all day. Thanks for the ocean excursion and tour of the islands. God bless you, as He keeps you!
We had a wonderful time. Some of our guests got a little sea sick and the crew quickly changed course to help have as smooth a ride as possible.
We had a full day charter and could not have been happier. The staff on the boat were professional and genuine and went out of their way to make this a special day for our family. The lunch was also amazing. This cruise was the highlight of our trip to Turks and Caicos. The snorkeling was perfect and our young children loved Iguana Island. We also found sand dollars on sand dollar island.
Our tenth year with the captain and Brian. This year went out with Brian and Kensey. Saw a humpback whale this trip. As always, our best day of the week. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you will not regret the trip and will have memories forever.
The whole day was awesome. Kenard and crew work very hard to make sure guests have a special day. We had an unbelievable picnic lunch. Highly recommend the whole experience
Needless to say this was by far the Highlight of our trip to Turks and Caicos. We spent Christmas Day on this beautiful Private Yacht... From beginning to End we were catered to. Our first stop was Snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef and we were lucky enough to see a Shark. Next stop Lunch on a Private Island! The Lobster, Steak Skewers, Chicken Kabobs, Rice, Salad etc was the best food we ate on the Island.... The warm turquoise waters and beautiful white sand were to die for. We also took advantage of the Jet Skii they offered for an additional Fee which was well worth it. My 15 year old son couldn’t stay off of it. The Last stop was Iguana Island and my 2 year old son didn’t want to leave he felt at home with the animals.... We departed Iguana Island as the beautiful Sun was setting, the weather was perfect, a true paradise on Water...
This was our second time to spend a full day on the water with our captain, Brian. He and first mate Kinsley took FANTASTIC care of our family. My wife and I took our 8 kids on the boat trip...ages 20 down to 2 years. Brian and Kinsley kept us SAFE, kept us ENTERTAINED, and FED US like kings. The boat is awesome and I highly recommend them.
Captain Brian and Kinsley were the best!!!! I highly recommend Kenard and a full day charter. Upon arriving we had a beautiful fruit arrangement and then chips and dip later. Lunch was excellent. We had kids on board with us too and they catered to everyone’s liking; chicken, beef kabobs, shrimp cocktail, hot dogs, rice and a salad!!! My son brought his drone and was able to capture some amazing photos. We got to snorkel and even saw a dolphin. Thanks for the amazing memories! Cant wait to do it again!
We have booked private boats in Hawaii, Cayman and two times on Turks prior to our day today with Kenard. No ifs ands or buts.... book the Kenard cruise. Capt. Brian and Kensley made the day full of fun and laughter. They even were kindhearted enough to put up with our friend Keith screaming JOJO all day! Good snorkeling and stop at a beautiful beach where we saw starfish! Crew catered to our every need and when the karaoke came on, even Capt Brian joined in. Excellent lunch! We laughed all day and it wasn’t all just due to the rum punch! A perfect day on the water... we are booking Capt Brian again next year!
We booked an all day charter and a sunset dinner cruise during our stay based on trip advisor reviews. The all day excursion was on a Tuesday with Captain Brian. It was a little windy but Brian made sure we found the right places to go. He was energetic, upbeat and very entertaining. He listened to what we wanted out of the trip and it was one of the best boat trips we have ever had. We had a fabulous lunch anchored of off a shallow sandbar at Pine Cay. What an amazing day! Be sure you get Brian to break out the Microphone if you travel with him. The pictures on the website do not do the sights or the food justice. Something for everyone on the menu. Later that week we had a Dinner cruise with Captain Kenard. This is a 3 hour sail to find a good spot for the sunset. Casual relaxing cruise. We had some rough weather that night as well but Captain Brian located a perfect calm spot to anchor and relax while he and his family made an Outstanding meal. Again the pictures on the website only can tell part of the story. This is well worth the price and we could not have been it better hands. Overall, the Kenards treat you like family. They are personable and fun. They wait on you hand and foot. They know so much about the islands and have fun stories. The food is top shelf. If you prefer a top shelf spirit, you may want to bring your own. What they have on the boat is plentiful and free flowing but standard fare spirits. The Rum Punch is fantastic and they had plenty! I cannot recommend these trips highly enough having been on multiple boat excursions many other places.
The crew are great! They do ALL of the work - you are treated like rock stars. The drinks were plentiful and the food was fantastic! We were taken to one of the most beautiful places of water we've ever seen. The only dissappointment I had was I was under the impression we were sailing to Parrot Cay and we did not. I felt we spent too much time snorkeling (that is a little bit on us b/c I'm sure if we all came back to boat and said we were done, they would have moved on. But we were following crews' lead). And too much time waiting for lunch to be prepared walking around the bay. I would have preferred to take the iguana preserve tour. Bring beach towels, sunscreen, and your camera. That's all you need!
We’ve been on a lot of private charters throughout the Caribbean including Turks and Caicos. This is among the best! The boat is absolutely gorgeous and spacious. Captain Brian and Carlito are gracious hosts that do a phenomenal job! The lunch that Captain Brian prepared was out of this world! The plating was great! And the food tasted even better! The only bad thing about the day was that it had to end! Even though we chose the full day charter it went by so quickly!!! We had an absolutely incredible time. We will do this again on our next visit to TCI.
These guys are definitely first class... Kenard and his crew were incredibly attentive, from drinks to food to making sure everyone was having fun. They do what you desire not moving you from place to place to get you in and out. They made my daughter’s birthday and graduation a lifetime memory! I would highly recommend Kenard Cruises to anyone who truly wants to experience Turks and Caicos.
Captain Brian, Carlito and Kinzley were the greatest crew of all time! Ten of us had the best day ever. Incredible moments...beautiful scenery...and the lunch was incredible! Do not miss this if you visit Provo. Must do. All day. Snorkel, iguanas, sand dollars, sharks and plenty of rum punch. We have visited four time with this our first trip with Captain Brian. Do not miss this. A must. Incredible trip with a lifetime of memories.
I absolutely had an amazing time and so did my wife. We got to learn about alot of sea creatures and coral reef. We also got to go tubing! I really recommend this tour company for all your boat charter needs.
Could not have been a better day on Kenard catamaran. Immediately greeted with a cold rum punch. Crew gives clear directions and advice to all. Snorkeling was amazing. A fabulous feast including fish, beef and salads rounded out the day. The large raft made relaxing together a family affair. Entertainment on way back, crew singing and dancing, got us back comfortably through the rain showers.
Can't beat a day out with Kenard and his crew. Always lifts the spirit! The food is fabulous, and the crew has such a great attitude and they always treat you right.
This was our 2nd trip with Kenard and he has the absolute best day charters around! Wonderful crew, great excursions and the food is unreal! I highly recommend Kenard and his guys. This was by far the best day we had in Turks and Caicos!!
Full day charter was by far the most amazing experience of my life! Brian and Elliott went above and beyond!! Lunch was a feast of the best local cuisine! Grouper🐟!!Lobster!! Awesome snorkeling, We swam with Jojo the 🐬. Will only use Kenard in the future🌴☀️!!!They are the best!!!
This was our third cruise with Kenard Cruises. Brian was our captain on the first two, but this time we spent the day with Kenard and Elliot. Both captains and their crews treated us like royalty. The quality and consistency we’ve experienced with Kenard Cruises is remarkable. The food is superb and the views are breathtaking. Admittedly, communication prior to our trips was spotty, but with a little patience and persistence, the experience more than makes up for it. We can’t wait for our next trip with Kenard Cruises.
