The scenery to the beach where we snorkeled was pretty and the crew was nice and courteous. They were very accommodating. However, the snorkel area consisted of about 100 yards against a rock wall without coral and fish. Other than that the only thing to see was sand in about 30 feet of water. The crew limited us on a... More

This was a great excursion from the cruise ship. It started about 8:30 am, and I think we were back around 12:30 pm. Not an all day thing, but still VERY fun. The crew was very entertaining and great about making sure that everyone was having fun, and supplied with drinks and food. They brought us to the snorkeling area,... More

Have been on the Golden Eagles 3 times and consider it one of the best catamaran tours to book. Nice, well equipped boats, friendly and competent crews and good destinations for snorkeling and beach time! More

This review pertains to the half day tour leaving early in the morning. While the crew were very nice the information regarding the trip was incorrect. First, we were told it sails from one port at 8:45 but when we arrived at 8:25 it left already so we had to dingy to the other port, where we waited an hour... More

I did this trip with my parents and family friends in jan an we loved every minute of it! The ride to the snorkel place was great as they provided us with drinks, we then had long enough to go snorkeling or have some time on the beach (where they brought more drinks for us) then when we got back...

I had the great good fortune of ending up on this four hour outing when another tour operator had to cancel our scheduled trip. The catamaran carried 63 people on our trip, and there was adequate space for all. We started with a brief but thorough safety briefing and the crew ensured that everything was shipshape before casting off. The... More

We had a great time with our 12 and 9 year old kids! The crew was very FUN (and safety-conscious), food was good, drink was plentiful. Mullet Bay beach was beautiful- very easy to snorkel. The sand was pristine. They provided snorkel equipment and swim noodles, and let the kids jump off the boat when anchored. We had so much... More

We chose the half day trip in June 2011 because it was (and still is as of Nov. 2011) advertised on their website as a trip to Tintamarre Island which we had read about as a great snorkeling destination. After we had set sail we learned we were going to Long Beach to snorkel - a very disappointing snorkeling destination... More

Half day catamaran sail, snorkle, swim, beach, and rum party is a perfect 4 hour activity to see the Southern coastline and beauty of this island. The afternoon cruise allows time to shop in Philipsburg in the morning and sail 20-30 other folks on a 50 ft cat. Fun and well worth the price. More
