Unfortunately the trip was very windy and rough and many guests ended up sick. The crew did their best to accommodate everyone. We did stop in a protected cove that was much calmer to do our snorkeling. I wouldn't say the sights were anything remarkable -- an average time and average sights.

Lunch on the return trip was good. Our only comment is that for the price of the excursion it might have been nice to get a few complimentary drinks on the return trip. We've been on dozens of similar trips in the Caribbean for much less money and enjoyed open bar on the return. On this one it was simply a cash bar and the prices were someone captive.

A nice boat and crew but pretty much average otherwise.

The staff from check-in to the crew on the catamaran were simply top notch. Very nice as a boat trip. Unfortunately not recommended for snorkeling. Only dead coral and few fish.
