One of the highlights of our Caribbean cruise in March 2011. It consists of an 85' powered catamaran that circumnavigates Antigua. It was awesome being out on the open water, we stopped at an uninhabited island to snorkel and have a barbequed lunch. Rum punch and draft beer were flowing all day. I personally loved crossing the open water to... More

Having booked this trip with a local beach vendor in Antigua, my wife & I wasn't sure what to expect, but having a sense of adventure we both decided to opt for the trip to the sister isle of Barbuda, rather than circumnavigate Antigua itself. The music was loud, the drinks were a continuous flow, and the staff were in... More

After being asked by many different beach vendors to do a catamaran excursion, we decided to go with the one planned by our tour operator (Air Transat) as we found the vendors on the beach to be way too agressive. Best decision we made ! They organized the tour with the Excellence Catamaran for a circumnavigation of the whole island... More

This trip was such a blast and quite the experience! Barbuda is beautiful and the lunch you get on board is great. If you get motion sickness, I recommend taking something before you go on this trip as it can get a little rough but overall one of our favorite parts of our vacation! More

After going on a sailing/snorkeling tour in Barbados which was awesome, the Excellence Tour exceeded our expectations and was our favorite. The blend of boating,swimming,snorkeling,eating,sightseeing,and relaxing was a perfect comination!The crew was really nice and met every request with a smile. The private island was beautiful and they served us punch in the water.We booked the tour from our Emerald... More

My husband and I travelled to Antigua for our second time in May 2011 to get married on their beautiful beaches! We had about 40 family & friends with us to celebrate! Once most of them left, me, my husband, aunt, uncle and cousins (ranging from 10-20 years old) went on The Excellence for a circumnavigation of Antigua. Price was... More

We went on the Excellance July 2011 for the second time. The first was an excursion on a cruise. This time during a visit to Antigua. This by far is one of the best excursions I have ever done on any trip &/or cruise. The staff is very professional, courteous, friendly and down right fun! The scenery is beautiful, the... More

We booked this circum-navigation of the island excursion with Virgin Holidays, as the numbers are kept to a reasonable level (less than 60) - and i'm glad we did, as I cannot imagine being on this boat with 100+ people as is the norm! Yes, the seas on the Atlantic side can be choppy - and was - but no-one... More

Booked 2 trips on the Excellence: one that circumnavigates the whole island and one trip to Barbuda. I must say that I found the Excellence quite an uncomfortable vessel, the seats are just moulded plastic and quite hard on the bottom! As others have said, the music is blaring out of the speakers and although some of the narrative over... More
