“Have a great day on the water with snorkeling, sailing, swimming, food and drinks. We had Captain Graham leading our tour, he even snorkled with us to show us where the turtles were. Deckhands Shawn and Wally also showed us around and kept us supplied with drinks and food. We had a huge variety of beverages and the food was fantastic. If you are looking for a great experience both in the water and on the catamaran the Stileto crew were great. We would likely do this tour again in Barbados it was just that great.”

Sail Barbados with a maximum of 12 people, stopping for turtle swimming, wreck snorkeling, and a relaxed bay lunch. Crew members including Captain Cali and Wayne help in the water, while transfers, gear, food, and an open bar are included.

“This review consists of two parts. Firstly, the actual boat, crew and experience was first class. The trip is restricted to no more than 12 and is focused on the snorkeling / swimming – if you want a “party boat” where you just socialize and might not bother with going in the water, then Cool Runnings is for you. This is not to say there isn’t ample and good food and drink, just that is not the focus of the trip. Our particular trip was hampered by the Elegance’s office management. The trip was booked through Violater (TripAdvisor) and the start time was stated as 9:30am. The location was listed…”
