You will know it’s us coming… playing your favorite Bob Marley tunes as we drive in to pick you up right off the beach (south coast only).I am a former commercial fisherman with 24 years of boating experience. COST OF TRIP: Turtle and wreck snorkeling trip last about three hours. We take on groups of no more than 8 people but we take on families of up to approximately 12 people. The trip costs $80 US dollars or $160.00 Barbados dollars per person. We are fully insured for up to 16 passengers. Our boat is outfitted with all the latest required safety equipment. We look forward to giving you an unforgettable experience ,Charles Austin and crew. « less

“Totally recommended”

This tour is highly recommended for couples, family or to go with friends. It`s a very nice tour/snorkeling with turtles and wrecks. Charles is a great guy and explain everything from scratch to beginners in snorkeling. It was a great day, thanks to Charles Bisante for this nice trip.

“Highlight of our Barbados holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 12, 2013

We chose to book this trip with Charles purely on the Tripadvisor reviews, and he fully deserves all the 'excellent' ratings and praise you will read. Charles goes out of his way to make sure that you have a great experience with individual attention and a really personal approach. You will reach the turtles before anyone else and swimming with...

“Amazing. Holiday highlight!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013 via mobile

Seriously, believe what you are reading about Charles of Cliff Sharker as he is a one off and will make your holiday truly special. It speaks volumes that he has such fantastic ratings on trip advisor when he doesn't have a website yet to advertise himself and he only takes out really small groups, unlike the catamaran trips which take...

Just back from a fantastic trip out with Charles on cliff sharker and I couldn't get on here quick enough to recommend this trip, despite never having left a review on here before. it was an amazing experience, as described by others. We were lucky enough to have a tiny trip with only 4 of us onboard, but I believe... More

“Not Your Typical Touristy Snorkeling Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2013

If you are looking for an intimate day on the water with an extremely knowledgeable guide that will get you to the reefs, show you the turtles and take amazing pictures the entire time, then this is for you. If you are looking to share the water with 50 strangers who have spent the afternoon drinking, then go for one... More

“A perfect day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 23, 2013

Firstly, Charles is a great guy to spend a day with. Then from the moment you wade out knee deep through a beautiful cool blue sea, to the moment you get back totally exhilarated, he looks after you all - particularly the kids.The snorkelling was awesome both with the turtles and among the wrecks. I doubt the kids will ever... More

“A must in Barbados”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 20, 2013

Countless reviews will tell you that snorkelling with the turtles is a great experience. And it is!!!!! Yes you get an intimate experience with the turtles and exceptional pictures, but what surprised me the most was that it's really about the tour operator. Charles, owner of Cliff Sharker, is not only a great entertainer and person but has a unique... More

“Best experience of our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2013

I had the time of my life in Barbados, and our trip on the Cliff Sharker was the highlight. There isn't much more to be said over and above what other people have written. We were pretty much one-on-one with the turtles, which you don't get with the larger groups, and the pictures from the day are unreal. Such a... More
