A glass bottom boat cruise is the best way to see Bermuda from above and below the water! Enjoy an informative and entertaining coastal sightseeing cruise with glass bottom viewing. The boat will go over coral reef sea gardens and the shipwreck 'HMS Vixen,' followed by a relaxing return cruise with a Cash Bar and a stop to look for sea turtles!
These glass bottom boats have large viewing areas and a particularly shallow draft, allowing you the very best reef access and up-close underwater viewing all in safe, dry comfort. Relax on the spacious upper deck and enjoy the passing seascapes as your captain relates little known facts and insights about Bermuda's marine life, history, and people.
You'll cruise to the pristine Sea Gardens surrounded by miles of the world's northernmost coral reef. Make a stop at the shipwreck of the 'Vixen,' a scuttled ship rich in history, with a back-story too hilarious to believe. Once over the reef, your knowledgeable crew will provide entertaining and factual commentary about the civilizations of coral and fish that appear beneath you. Upon departing the reef, the boat will pause at the nearby sea grass beds, where you may spot a few of the many transient turtles that take refuge in this Mid Atlantic sanctuary.

The captain and crew were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the trip. The captain made the ride smooth and enjoyable, while the crew did a great job pointing out marine life and answering questions. The glass-bottom views were amazing, and their enthusiasm made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
I wasn't sure what to expect . I knew we would see coral and fishes , hence the glass bottom boat. This is my first time doing this. It was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely do it again. The tour guide was fantastic. He was funny and informative on so many things. I wish I could remember his name. We saw so many beautiful things under the water. The sunset in the boat was stunning also. It was about a hour and half. Just the perfect about of time.
Captain Gabby in Bermuda was very entertaining and gave lots of information about the excursion and Bermuda itself, I highly recommend taking this excursion
Great excursion and gabby and the crew were the best. Would highly recommend
Must do. Loved it. Zoe, Avery, Tatiana were great. Informative , funny and very friendly. The location for snorkeling just beautiful. Thank you for making this such a memorable day
Awesome glass bottom boat cruise. We were with Jesse and Melvin and they were super funny and awesome. Saw the wreck of the HMS Vixen and some cool coral reefs (even saw some sea turtles on the way back to the dock). Jesse and Melvin made us laugh the whole trip and played absolute bangers for music. They have a little bar on board (also includes soda & water) and a bathroom aswell. We went for our last day in Bermuda and had plenty of time afterwards to grab a bite to eat and get back on the ship to depart. Book this! And tip, these guys deserve it!
We have some challenges with sea sickness and this cruise was smooth and not a problem at all. It's not only fun but educational! We learned a great deal about Bermudas water, eco system and even local culture. The boat had a clean bathroom and even a little bar. Lot's of beautiful photo opportunities during the trip! Great time had by all ages. The crew was really attentive and friendly.
After this experience, my teeth were whiter and straighter, I became a better dancer, women could not keep their hands off me and I got a raise at work
John and Keanu were very nice and informative. The wreck was interesting but we were a little disappointed as there wasn't really much to see as we drifted over it. We saw a few fish, purple sea fans, and sand for the most part. The bow of the Vixen is above water. I know we can't control nature but I was expecting to see something more. With the correct expectations this rating might have been higher.
Captain and the tour guide were excellent, but we had hoped to see more fish and other sea life besides coral
