20 reviewed
This is the shortlist a Jamaican driver would give you: 15 boat trips & coastal cruises worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
Catamaran cruise from Ocho Rios to Dunn’s River Falls plus snorkeling, buffet lunch, and an open bar, with hotel pickup included.
“Falls climbing 5 stars and snorkelling 3stars, great support from the staff and crew. Food not good (too hot, unconfortable, sándwiches would be better).”
Reggae catamaran cruise from Montego Bay with hotel pickup, snorkeling at Doctor’s Cave, unlimited drinks, DJ music, and optional Margaritaville time.
“Bought as birthday gifts, they all had a fantastic time! The customer service was great! would recommend.”
Negril sunset catamaran with guided snorkeling, an open-bar party boat, and a cliffside stop at Rick’s Cafe. From $88.
“Didn’t get to go to Ricks and jump - generic kind of party cat with what seemed like apt of locals and Bartender seemed very disgruntled.”
Full-day Negril catamaran cruise from Ocho Rios with Margaritaville, Seven Mile Beach, snorkeling, and Rick’s Cafe sunset vibes.
“Dexter and his crew had the boat turn up!! It was a whole vibe with the music and unlimited drinks! We had a blast as a small group of three. Please do book with him, highly recommend it.”
Moonlit cruise and swim in Jamaica's Luminous Lagoon with a guide, rum punch, and hotel pickup from Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, or Negril.
“The experience was one of a kind ,my kids (boys 13 and 7) enjoyed thoroughly.Unique once a lifetime experience jumping in the luminous lagoon.our guide was funny and informative.Highly recommend when in Jamaica.”
Half-day catamaran to Dunn's River Falls with snorkeling over living coral, lunch, rum punch, and a guided climb.
“Tour guide picked us up on time. Keep in mind the tour time is not the pick up time (pick up time is much earlier if you are starting from Montego Bay). Felicia (bus tour guide and coordinator) was great! Catamaran ride was great and a lot of fun coming back. Dunns river is a bit of a tourist trap, so be ready for that. Overall a good time…wouldn’t recommend doing solo though.”
Party-catamaran day from Montego Bay to 7 Mile Beach, snorkeling, and Rick’s Cafe open bar, with bus pickup and flexible cruise options.
“I never leave negative reviews but this was THE WORST experience. First, the tour operator never told us the day before what time to be ready, so we were up super early trying to figure out what time to be in the lobby. We were finally told at 10am the morning of to be ready at 10:05am . Then they called at 10:15am and told us due to traffic, they would be 10-15 minutes late. They were an hour and a half late to pick us up. So, after losing all that beach time, they then drove us PAST Margaritaville for a 27 minute "bathroom break" (even though Margaritaville has…”
69-foot catamaran cruises from Kingston with a DJ, food, and drinks. Pick Friday harbour lights or Sunday Maiden Cay swim.
“We had a great time on this trip. The moment we step on the cruise, really good music was playing (and the DJ continued to play great music throughout the trip). There was food provided, but I didn’t eat since I wanted to play in the water more. The customer service was excellent because they keep bringing us drinks into the sea. I’ve never had that in my life before! It was so nice to talk to the staff and owners too. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Most importantly, Maiden cay and the sea was sooooo beautiful that it just made the trip perfect!”
Negril’s glass bottom boat tour to Booby Cay and Med Reef: snorkeling time, scenic reef viewing, and a pay-on-island seafood lunch.
“Captain and second mate very knowledgeable and entertaining! Made first time snorkelers comfortable!”
Ocho Rios catamaran with snorkeling, open bar and DJ, then a guided human-chain climb up Dunn's River Falls.
“My partner and I had a really great time, the staff was very kind.. Totally booking again next time !”
Private Negril combo from Montego Bay: Seven Mile Beach, glass-bottom snorkeling, a lobster lunch on a small island, then Rick's Cafe sunset.
“Lisa was my driver on the tour. She was so knowledgable relating history along the way and pointing out sites of interest. We stopped for Juici Pies which was an experience in itself. The glass bottom boat ride and snorkeling was perfect. Lisa made sure and took pictures for me the entire trip. The island we went to was so much fun. The Jamaicans set up a make shift restaurant and cook fresh lobster and crab. The lobster was amazing. It was only $40. I would highly recommend this excursion. When it started raining, Lisa made sure and drove the van to pick me up where we had stopped for…”
Sunset reggae catamaran from Montego Bay with live DJ, open bar, snacks, and hotel pickup. 3 hours on the water.
“Bad. The tour guide never called us and told us that they were here and I tried to contact the tour guide and got no response.”
Montego Bay 18+ reggae catamaran cruise with open bar, quick snorkeling, and a Margaritaville stop, plus hotel pickup and drop-off.
“It was fantastic. 10/10 vibz on vibz from start to finish.”
Party catamaran from Ocho Rios with open bar, Blue Hole snorkeling, and a climb up Dunn's River Falls with DJ vibes and pickup.
“Hands down the best excursion we have ever been on! Blue Hole was amazing. Dunns River Falls was absolutely killer, snorkeling was an experience as it was out first time and the party catamaran to Dunns River and back was the star. The crew on board was attentive, informative and they were the life of the party along with the other guests on board. Got off to a late start with Blue Hole and waiting, but our drivers and the company were in constant communication and went above and beyond and found a way for us to not have to wait and get us to the destination much faster than…”
Private Montego Bay yacht cruise with open bar, snorkeling at the marina, and Hip Strip lunch, plus a calm ride to a fish and bird sanctuary.
“I was running late and Sauna and her staff was so patient. The captains communicated well and had a lot of knowledge on the history surrounding Montego Bay. I would definitely choose them again.”
