This is a must do when in Jamaica!!!! Great 🤩 Pick up place in Negril is a vibe in itself. It is rightly called party catamaran: you will be entertained by the guides. They are friendly and super cozy. Nice dancing and enjoying the sea, music and beautiful beaches. Rick’s cafe is nice, very busy, but good to experience.

Het is fantastisch dat u de sfeer, muziek, prachtige kustlijn en het entertainment van onze vriendelijke crew zo waardeerde. We zijn ook blij dat u de ervaring bij Rick’s Café heeft kunnen meemaken, een van Jamaica's meest iconische locaties. Bedankt voor uw aanbeveling en we hopen u snel weer te mogen verwelkomen voor nog meer plezier op zee! 🇯🇲⛵🎶😊🌴

The party was great but unfortunately we didn’t get to see much during the snorkeling. Wish we had gone to different spots to snorkel but overall very good experience!
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the party atmosphere. While snorkeling conditions can vary depending on weather, water clarity, and marine activity on any given day, we're sorry it didn't fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are delighted that, overall, you had a very good experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 🌴⛵😊
Total rip off. They don’t tell you that you will be at Margaritaville for 2 hours before you get on the boat. During that time you will be hustled by every local in the area. Then you “snorkel” in an area without anything to look at other than jelly fish. Oh and forget about Ricks. We got there and had to turn around and take a bus back because we they couldn’t dock there. So for 100* a person I gave Margaritaville more business then I wanted to and spent 40 min and Ricks. Terrible. And don’t get me started about the music they play. Raunchy rap music and the bartender was so rude. Find another tour. This is not it!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the itinerary, including the stop at Margaritaville and the various components of the experience, is outlined in the tour description, and we encourage all guests to review the full details prior to booking. Regarding Rick’s Café, docking and marine operations are subject to weather, sea conditions, and local port regulations, which can occasionally require alternative transportation arrangements for guest safety. While these circumstances are beyond our control, we always work to ensure guests are able to visit the attraction whenever possible. We appreciate your comments and will continue striving to provide accurate tour information and memorable experiences for all our guests.
Kept seeing cataraman ships from my hotel's pool and noticed how everyone seemed to have a blast on the Sun Ship, so naturally I had to book. It did not disappoint! Wayne saw that I was struggling and kindly took me snorkeling for a bit. Then we all had a good time partying on the boat. I am a shy solo traveler but had no issue mingling and dancing with the others. 10/10 experience.
Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that the experience lived up to your expectations. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Wayne for making your snorkeling experience so enjoyable. It's wonderful to know that even as a solo traveler, you felt comfortable, welcomed, and able to join in the fun. We appreciate the 10/10 rating and hope to see you back on board again soon! 🌴⛵😊
