Fantastic choice! Shasa is a small catamaran - holds only 12. At first the big cats look cooler, but once we saw the 50 people on each, we were really happy we went with Shasa. He gets you moving as soon as you arrive (jump on the boat from the beach-not hard, they collect shoes when you arrive in the... More

Perfect trip apart from the weather! We had a fantastic time with Captain O'Neill and one other couple on the catamaran. We had plenty of time swimming up close and personal with the turtles and enjoyed a rum punch or two to celebrate afterwards! Jason was polite, informative and good fun and this was by far the best excursion on... More

I booked with Shasa for a partial day sail. When we were picked up at the port we were a little concerned because there were ten of us in the mini-van. When we arrived at the location to board, we discovered that the other people on the van were on a huge cat which the four of us walked across... More

We enjoyed our 3-hour cruise with Captain Jason and Shasa while on our Caribbean cruise. We were promptly transported by taxi (complimentary) from the cruise ship terminal to the harbor where the catamaran met us. There were 10-12 of us on the boat that day, but there was plenty of space to spread our and enjoy ourselves. We made two... More

We booked this tour while on a cruise. Jason, the owner, was prompt in returning our e-mails. Carlyle, first mate, was wonderful with a young boy who was a bit apprehensive and equally as great with a scared middle aged woman. The catamaran was small but the food was great, the drinks were plentiful and the crew was top notch.... More

We just came back from the Caribbean on Celeb. Summit. It went to Barbados and I was undecided between Shasa and two of the larger Cats. I am so pleased that we chose correctly!! We booked Shasa and the experience was amazing! Jason even showed me how to snorkle as my husband was off snorkeling immediately. When we return to... More

I took this excursion while on Serenade of the Seas. We signed up for the 3 hour snorkeling trip. We got into the catamaran and sailed to the first spot which is where the sea turtles were. We werent in the water real long. Maybe a little more than a half hour? Then we hopped back on to the next... More

We booked Shasa Catamaran based on recommendations on trip advisor and cruise critic. We were very happy with the results. The communication was a little slow while we were booking, but the trip was well organized and fantastically put together. We were picked up at the cruise port and driven in a clean air conditioned van to the place where... More

We visit Barbados annually and have used Shasa several times, and recommended them to others. Jason is a fantastic guide, and the smaller boat and personal attention are way better than the big noisy booze cruises that cluster together along the beaches (unless that's what you're looking for). Jason goes to quieter spots, has better music, and it's fun to... More
