The experience was fun. The staff easily accommodated me for the same day trip as my friends even tho I had scheduled a different day by mistake.
We absolutely adored our crew! They were so lovely to talk to and spend time with during our adventure. Captain Tuna (+ another Captain) and their crew were incredible and so very knowledgable. I am not a big snorkeling person nor a boat person as I tend to get sea sick easily but they took great care of me and my husband on our honeymoon! Brian was also so so lovely and amazing to talk to (while also amazing at making the best caesar salad I’ve ever had!) Aside from the crew, the views and stops were great. The experience was very chill and relaxed (we had a smaller group that day!) We got to see very beautiful fish, some turtles and jellyfish while we were underwater. There was a giant spotted ray that we spotted while we were on the boat! 10:30-3:30 was such a good timeline and gave us some very memorable moments. Please consider taking this trip as it really keeps these local crews supported and fed :)
It was amazing! Beautiful and fun!! The whole crew was awesome!!
This is a very chill boat excursion, easy snorkel the day we went seas were pretty calm. The food was good. There was plenty I do not drink alcohol and the soft drinks were ok, not great. The Diet Coke was expired and flat. The non alcoholic drink I had was ok.
This was a blast! The views were fantastic, the snorkeling was great, and the crew was funny and friendly. The food and drinks were really good too. Plenty of room on the catamaran to relax, and it’s stable in the water.
Captain Tuna and crew Max, Bryan and new Capt Jeff were amazing. Lively, friendly, and top notch service, food and music. Saw several turtles, conch, ray & a shark
Super friendly crew. Very knowledgeable about the various landmarks. Had a blast for my first time snorkeling
An absolute highlight of our trip! The crew’s hospitality and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident from the moment we stepped on board. Paired with great drinks, tasty snacks, and breathtaking views, this sunset cruise was worth every moment. Huge thanks to the staff for an outstanding experience!"
Captain Tuna, Dawn, and crew are excellent. We had a wonderful time with them. They were very helpful to get my wife comfortable snorkeling. I learned a few new tips as well. Lunch was great, just right. Tuna was very knowledgeable about the islands and local things. This was our 2nd Snorkel Cat trip, and I highly recommend it. PS: Excellent tunes! Thanks for a good time!
The meeting place was easy to access. The ride to the chosen places for snorkeling was smooth and very nice to see the surrounging Islands. Captain Sean and crew we’re very nice, kind and helpful. It was a very pleasant and safe sailing.
We had a fantastic boat trip! The crew were brilliant, safety was clearly a priority, great food and drink - especially loved the Painkillers and the delicious lunch. A wonderful experience from start to finish — highly recommend!
What an awesome time!! The crew was fabulous and the food and drink were also fantastic!! Could not have asked for a better trip. Would certainly use them again!
This was a wonderful laid back day!! Food was yummo, drinks were plentiful, and the people were amazeballs!! Ryan, Nick, Sean, and Gary are the kings of hospitality!! They took us to great snorkeling spots where you could choose to go on an aquatic adventure, take a dip in the gorgeous turqoise water or just chill on the boat getting your drink on. I cannot speak highly enough of this excursion. If your thinking on it, don't, just book it you will not regret it!!
Spent our last day with this great crew! They are always fun and friendly. This was our second time doing this tour and still recommend it. It’s worth more than what you pay for it. Open bar, great lunch and amount of people on it was perfect.
Christian, Dawn, and Sean were wonderful!! Very nice, upbeat, and knowledgeable!
Highly recommend this tour group. Clean boat, quality snorkeling equipment, fun crew. Family friendly adventure with delicious lunch and cocktails. A great way to spend an afternoon in USVIs.
This was an awesome adventure. The crew was fantastic. The family enjoyed the breakfast and lunch. There was something for everyone. We saw turtles and plenty of wildlife. I also enjoyed the Captain explaining the history of St Thomas and St John. He was very knowledgable about all the fabulous houses we saw on the island. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise!
Great experience. Beautiful clean boat with attentive knowledgeable crew. Sean, Lauren & Dawn were friendly, helpful, & informative. Sean took 3 of us to Caneel Bay beach to float while others snorkeled. It was a great day & fit in 3 snorkel stops.
Sean, Dawn and Lauren were amazing guides for the snorkel trip. They did everything possible to make this trip as good as it could be. I will recommend Snorkel Cat to anyone, and I will definitely do it again!!
These excursion is a must! Excellent staff and captain! Very friendly, my wife and I had a blast!
Big Tuna and staff were wonderful! We had a group of 10- age 4 to 74 years old. So much fun and great energy. Snorkeling was great, boat has lots of room, views unbelievable and yummy food! Definitely recommend as a must do!
Captain Tuna and his crew were great! They were very helpful, made the day fun & enjoyable, and the trip definitely was worth the price!! Food, drinks, and the beautiful ocean, you can’t go wrong. We will be back with the kids!!! Thanks Tuna, Dawn, and Max!!! Max we tried to have your girlfriend as our server at SeaSalt, but they had an event, another spot to hit!!
Great experience. capt Tuna and the crew are very knowledgeable and helpful
OMG! It was our first time snorkeling and Big Tuna, Dawn, and Feralee made the experience amazing!!!! The food and drink were so simple but so fulfilling and satisfying. They're instructions were so helpful and easy to follow. Also, they are so knowledgeable about snorkeling and getting around the islands. Trip was affordable and high quality. Big Tuna reminded of Maui from Moana and would recommend he add "You're welcome" to your docking playlist 🤓
Fun, relaxing and informative. Big Tuna is great and his crew is very attentive. Had a small group which may have been the reason for a better trip. Lots of people would have been a drag
Wonderful fun. Captain Tuna was awesome and his crew as well! Wonderful breakfast and amazing lunch was served! All you can drink too! Snorkeling was great too! I would definitely do this trip again when I am in St Thomas again. Happy sailing!
Captain Tuna is awesome, him and his crew will take you on a safe journey to see turtles and other sea life. Great experience.
Booking the Snorkel Cat excursion in St. Thomas easily serves as the absolute highlight of any trip to the Virgin Islands. From the moment you step on board, the crew delivers top-notch hospitality, taking you out on a smooth, spacious catamaran to explore crystal clear reefs and vibrant marine life like sea turtles and colorful tropical fish. The all-inclusive experience is exceptionally well run, featuring a light breakfast, a fantastic catered lunch, and an open bar that kicks off after the final snorkel stop. Between the stunning views, incredible snorkeling spots, and a fun, attentive crew keeping the drinks flowing, it is a flawless, stress free day on the water that is well worth every penny.
We had Captain Big Tuna and crew for our excursion. We knew we were safe every step of the way from the moment we launched. It was nice getting a real lunch on a snorkel tour that was delicious. The Snorkel Cat team are super friendly and experts at what they do. Highly recommend!
awesome day , Captain Tuna and crew did what ever we needed to make it a great day . Our safety was a top priority and having a good day was quite important . They gave us an extra tour of several islands on the return trip and helped my wife see the marine life when she wore prescription glasses. Service was exemplary
Great half day catamaran snorkeling adventure!! We completely loved the sailing and both the snorkel stops! Captain Tuna and crew Brian and Trevor were great!! We stopped at 2 sites to snorkel off of St John; Hawks nest and Lavongo. Seen a lot of sea turtles at Hawks Nest and then more fish at Lavongo. Good food and drinks and music! It was a beautiful day, would definitely do this trip again! Thank you so much for a great experience!
Excellent accommodations and good communication for the trip. We used a different boat as it was combined with another boat in their fleet - it was delightful and easy. The crew did a great job and found places on days it might have been a little rough in the water - they put us on and in the water at the right locations - good job
A truly fabulous day! Big Tuna, Brian, and Trevor were wonderful and very attentive. They were interactive and just all around fun to hang out with. You almost didn’t want to leave the boat, but when you do, you find they hit exactly the right places for your snorkel adventure. We saw tons of turtles, a couple rays, octopus, and beautiful fish of all kinds. Absolutely a must do!!!
The experience was really nice. There is breakfast provided, it's cut up Muffins and fruit, not bad at all, I just would have eaten something earlier had I known it was just that. Lunch was served after we got to the first destination and swam with turtles, sting rays and fish. The skipper is very knowledgeable about the area and it's history. The crew are also very helpful and accommodating. Lunch is salad, cold cuts and fruit, followed by brownie bites. The drinks are as many as you want. The vibe is great, the weather and sea were great. We met new friends aboard that were newlyweds as well. There is a coupon you can apply as well. Just do it, you won't be disappointed.
The crew was very friendly! They took us to all best spots for a great snorkeling experience. Very relaxing trip! Lunch and drinks were great!
Amazing crew!! Captain Tuna, Brian and Max were phenomenal. Very clean and well kept. The food, drinks and experience were top notch! Such a great time with beautiful views and plenty to see. I would definitely book again.
The Snorkel Cat excursion was amazing form the get-go. The captain told us what to expect at each stop and what he expects from us as well. The crew was very friendly and helpful as well as the people who had also booked the excursion. The breakfast was just enough, and the lunch was spot on. The 2 spots we went to were amazing as well. Loved seeing the turtles and sting rays among the other numerous types of fish. Well worth the money and time. I'd do it all over again.
I have been on a catamaran many times. This was by far one of the best. Captain Tuna and his crew were amazing. The food and drinks were delicious! Would definitely book with them again!
It was extremely fun!!! Very relaxing but just enough excitement. Tons of laughs. The crew was amazing!!! The spots they took us to for snorkeling were absolutely stunning! I'd definitely do it again with Snorkel Cat!
The crew was great very attentive and very informative beautiful experience anyone that come to St Thomas should book with Snorkel Cat
My daughter and i had a wonderful time! The Captain took us to beautiful places to snorkle and to relax on the boat! Nick,Brian and of course Captain Tuna! ❤️. Great lunch,drinks and music! We loved every minute!
Just come back from trip and it was great. Very informative, lot of high energy , great crew ,good food and drinks. Recommend highly .
Awesome trip. Signage to get to the snorkel building is not very good, but the people at Margaritaville are great and happy to help. Our captain was amazing - Big TUNA! I wish I had his playlist. The crew was great, highly recommend you go.
The captain and crew were awesome…funny and informative about the islands! Beautiful views and lots of marine life!
The best time/money spent on our trip! Big Tuna and his crew are the best. The food was amazing, the snorkel stops also amazing! We seen turtles, sting rays, beautiful fish, coral habitats and more. No review could put the day into words. A great experience, highly recommend. Would do again if we were here longer 🫶
Great way to spend a good chunk of the day!! Boat ride was great. The captain took us to great snorkeling spots and was knowledgeable about the islands which was fun to learn. Would definitely do this again!
If you are visiting St. Thomas by cruise ship and trying to decide on the perfect shore excursion, book the Snorkel Cat All Inclusive Adventure with New Horizons & Breakaway Charters without hesitation. My wife and I spent our day in port aboard their catamaran, and it was hands-down the absolute highlight of our entire vacation. From start to finish, the logistics were completely seamless and stress-free, taking all the worry out of making it back to the cruise ship on time while maximizing every single minute on the water. What truly sets this tour apart, however, is the outstanding service. Captain Sean and his incredible crew delivered top-tier hospitality from the moment we stepped on board. Captain Sean is a stellar captain—expertly navigating the crystal-clear turquoise waters, sharing local insights, and keeping everyone entertained—while his attentive crew made sure we were always comfortable and catered to. They escorted us to breathtaking snorkeling spots packed with marine life, even jumping into the water to assist guests and point out wildlife. Paired with delicious food, endless cold drinks, and a spacious, comfortable boat, Captain Sean and his crew made us feel like VIPs. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better day, and we will definitely book with New Horizons again next time we're in the Virgin Islands!
We saw amazing coral heads loaded with tropical fish and 2 nurse sharks. Our turtle stop point did not disappoint either. The food and drink were nothing short of delicious and plentiful! Thanks to the Captain he made it a really great time! Nick was great too! The gal, she seemed irritated but it didn’t bother me.
You will definitely have an amazing time! The marine life you will see -words cannot be put to it! Everything from the crew, to the snorkeling experience, to the food and the drinks -to the vibe -is all an amazing experience to be had!!
