St. Thomas Catamaran Tour Excursion Reviews

Supper crew , great snorkel tour and diver!! good rum punch.

Provider: Princess Cruises

We had a wonderful time aboard the Adventuress Champagne Catamaran. The crew was delightful and helpful. St. John is beautiful to visit - Honeymoon beach is very pretty, but the snorkeling was less than desireable. We hardly saw any fish on this snorkel trip.

The catamaran ride was fun for the kids, but the snorkeling was bogus. There were very few fish to see, and they felt it was not worth the time or money. St Thomas is great. We have toured the island in the past (quite an experience). The stops they do so you can take pictures is worth it, but the taxis leave something to be desired. The shopping is great when you go into town and it is very quaint.

Took the St John Champagne Catamaran Sail & Snorkel: Sail Boat ride was wonderful, snorkeling was great. Staff was very friendly. Plenty of drinks on the ride back, with cheese and crackets and fruit. Wonderful time.

Provider: Norwegian Cruise Line

Following a relatively short ride to the boat, we embarked on a 30 minute or so trip to a nearby island where we were given snorkeling equipment and allowed about 60 minutes. The tour operator described the area well, including where not to go, and gave a quick orientation to the equipment. A beach was available, but it was very small and not really designed for spending time on. The operator was reasonably well prepared for emergencies, with a large first aid kit, including an AED device.

We arrived in St. Thomas, I was up early to watch us dock and take lots of pictures. I do have to say disembarking and embarking this ship is so easy to do. To move that many people off the ship and on the ship is incredible that it runs so smooth. I went on the Champagne Catamaran Sail and Snorkel to St. John. Out of all the visits to the Eastern Caribbean that I've made, this was the most fun I've ever had. I highly recommend this excursion.

The sail was peaceful, the snorkeling very nice, the crew was very helpful and friendly and didn't beg too much for tips, the drinks flowed freely once snorkeling ended and the water was spectacular. The only drawback was that of the 4-1/2 hour excursion, we lost 2 hours to driving. The actual "in the water" time was about 45 minutes.

We took the Champagne Catamaran Sail and Snorkel to St. John. We hadn't been to St. John, and we thought it would be a good idea to get away from St. Thomas since there were 7 ships in port the day we were there. This excursion was good, but it would have been a LOT better if there wasn't a very long (30+ minute) transfer to the marina on an open air bus. The transfer made our four hour excursion last more than 5 hours, and and the (lack of) organization getting us back to port was inexcusable. We stood in the sun for well over 15 minutes while bus after bus passed us by.

Great time was had by all. The Rum punch had plenty of PUNCH, but no flavor. Finger foods were cheesy!!!!!

Our trip did not include lunch. It was a fabulous excursion and the crew was so much fun. They were all around their 20's and were Americans. They made the experience a good one and said they did so so that they "didn't have to go back to the states and get a real job." Great job! So much fun and wonderful snorkeling! They're in the water with you to make sure they point out things you shouldn't miss.

Nice catamaran ride to St. John. There was a good variety of fish. Some people saw turtles. I saw a stingray!

Castaway Girl.... nice, but not many fish.... in St. Thomas

Provider: Carnival Cruise Lines

Great time! Rum punch killer, be careful .

Castaway Girl catamaran tour to the sunken ship. We saw a couple whales which was a huge bonus, and they where pretty close to our little catamaran. The snorkeling was not the greatest, but the trip was sure fun.

Great time, lots of sea life. Crew was first rate. Nice rum punch for the sail back

Took a private catamaran trip with our 5 adults. Great way to relax and get away from the crowds. You actually get to experience sealife without alot of people around you. Better than getting on a CATTLEmaran. Snorkeled around St. Johns and spent 7 hours sailing which was great.

Good snorking, super staff, plenty of booze.

Provider: Princess Cruises

The was our first Catamaran trip and it was so relaxing! They met us at the pier and took us off for St. John. We sailed to Honeymoon Beach where we could snorkel or sun on the beach. The water was very clear! Not a lot to see snorkeling, but since this was our first time, what fish we did see were amazing! The crew of the catamaran was very funny and informative, giving us the history of the area and the beach, as well as any lessons on how to snorkel. The rum punch was good too!

Champagne sail to St. John was awesome!

Third time on this excursion. A really fun time. Great snorkeling and even better Rum Punch (after snorkeling). Good lunch and an even better crew. Don't think you could have a better time anywhere else.

Provider: Royal Caribbean International

It was ok. Many boats thru other cruise ships, went out before our little privately booked excursion did - which is unusual with the way they cattle you and make you wait. So that was disappointing. Then we sailed over, which took longer than motoring to the site. We dropped anchor at the last buoy in the area and it was mobbed. Then we had just 45 min to snorkel. At bit of disappointment. Crew was nice. Snacks and drink were as advertised - granola bars, pretzels, rum punch, beer or soda.

Catamaran tour was good fun and reasonable for the money paid.As we had been here before we then just walked into town and did a little shopping(avoiding all the jewellery shops),then we walked back to the ship.

Provider: Azamara Club Cruises

The catamaran to St. John to snorkel in Honeymoon Bay was great. We were in port with 7 other ships so immediately after snorkeling we came back to the ship as downtown was crowded. So our '5' rating is for the excursion and not the port.

Loved the Champagne Catamaran sail to St. John. Would recommend this excursion in a heartbeat.
