About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- hyperioncruiser0 contributionsHidden coves near HamiltonWe took this tour as an excursion from a cruise ship. Robert was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed him very much.

- ST5890 contributionsNice tour of Bermuda homes and pirate hide outsMark, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything on the tour. As a Bermuda native, he had lots of stories to tell and was really interesting. Along with the tour, we saw lots of wildlife; sea turtles, cormorants and “fish boils” of mackerel. This was worth the money. Captain Jamie even sang us a Bermudian song.., and he had a wonderful voice!Written September 4, 2019

- mrsmac7770 contributionsWonderful and entertaining!!!This was our second trip to Bermuda. The first time we opted for a bus tour of the island. This time we wanted something a little different. We were very pleasantly surprised! From the time we boarded the boat until we got back to shore Robert and Captain Jamie were absolutely wonderful, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. The singing at the end of the boat trip was totally worth the price of the tour. Seats were comfortable and everyone was friendly. I just recommended it to a friend who is going next month.Written June 18, 2019
- David Elaine W0 contributionsFamous Homes and Hideaways CruiseRobert, Captain Jamie and 1st mate made the excursion memorable !!! Robert had the group wanting more info and he provided that information. The song that Captain Jamie sang as we were returning was beautiful and then when Robert and Jamie sang together... well that was the icing on the cake... GREAT JOB to all and would do that excursion again.Written June 17, 2019

Wonderful 2-hour boat ride tour with a great guide who explained so much about Bermuda and pointed out many interesting homes of famous people and gave interesting background stories. Then our boat captain entertained us with two songs he sang. We also could and did purchase a local drink made with local rum, We had a wonderful, beautiful weather day. It was so relaxing and such a wonderful tour. This is absolutely a tour you should consider.

This was an interesting trip. First off, the crew like everyone else in Bermuda is very friendly. We sailed through many coves, around Hamilton and back to the ship. Our tour guide is also a singer, so he and the captain of the boat give you a song. Not that was a bad thing, but not what expected on this trip.
I was expecting stops at more famous (or infamous) folks who have a house in Bermuda, if they had one there. Only having two hours you boat could only go so far.

What a fun,informative,and entertaining trip. We were very lucky that at the time we went,only a few others were in our boat. Robert gave a funny, educational summary of the homes we passed,Matisse assisted the captain in comandering the boat,and Captain Jamie entertained us with a few musical numbers. I would recommend this tour when visiting Bermuda.

This was a great shore excursion trip from our cruise boat. We got to see many homes from the water and other parts of the Island that we would never have seen by tour bus. Captain Jamie and Tour Narrator even sang us some island songs. They served drinks called a dark & stormy using native island black rum and ginger beer. It was a great little cruise.

My favorite part of this event. . . the delightful three-man crew that pilot the boat, narate and tend bar. The naration included the history of Bermuda as far back as the 16th century through to today (7/7/2022). Lovely to relax for a couple of hours slowly cruising around beautiful Bermuda. The narrator was very funny and clever keeping you laughing and interacting. A bit of top flight song near the completion made the day even better. Beautiful voices.

This was a great tour! Capt Jamie and Robert were so knowledgeable and fun. We had a blast on this 3/4 covered boat. Robert narrated so much information about the islands history, and current events. We couldn’t hear All of that info because we were seated in the back in the blue seats and it was a littler louder there. He’s soft spoken and polite so I didn’t want him to turn up his mic. We sailed past some homes that we Needed to be low key near the expensive properties. So anyway, they sang for us and we’re quite witty!

The tour takes you to the strip of houses owned by famous personalities and gives you some background of their life. The content was a lot and sometimes a bit to much to remember. Boat takes you around some islands that got loads of history. The narrator Robert is a local and has deep knowledge and shares his own experiences.
I enjoyed looking out the boat into the blue waters and looking at the sea turtles popping up. The narration is followed by singing by Rob and Jamie which was mesmerizing.
Blue waters, drinks, and music totally relaxing tour which I enjoyed very much. I finished by Bermuda strip with this tour. Highly reccomend !

The M/V Excellence, her Captain, Cruise Host, and Bartender, are masters of the art of showmanship. As someone working in a similar industry, I cannot stress enough, the importance of a crew that works well together in a fashion that left all guests overjoyed with the product.
This company has invested in their sound system. The Cruise Host and Narrator, Robert, made very good use of this in delivering a well researched and entertaining narration. Captain Jamie proved to us that he is one of the finest male vocalists in the beautiful archipelago that is Bermuda. Our bartender for the trip, made excellent Dark and Stormy drinks for the crowd.
The boat itself was very clean, and well maintained. Restrooms are available aboard..
If you are considering a tour or excursion in Bermuda, go ahead and move this one to the top of your list, you are in for quite a show!

This was our favorite excursion In Bermuda. The boat ride was beautiful, the homes and water were breath taking, but what we loved most was how much pride Robert, Matisse, and Jamie took in showing us these homes, Bermuda and sharing some of the history of their home with us. They also sang for us and on the ride back to the Dockyard they put on some tropical music which set the mood nicely. We all agreed that this was just a beautifully executed tour. My husband and two teens and I all loved it!

My husband, son, and I took this 2 hour excursion on our last day in Bermuda. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of our stay. Jamie navigates the boat and Robert narrates the rich history of Bermuda and talks about the famous people who live, work, and visit Bermuda--some of whom he has personal experiences with. It's very interesting and Robert delivers many stories with his great sense of humor. He'll have you saying "Wow!", laughing, and exclaiming how pretty the scenery is. You won't be disappointed with this experience!

I called and was told that because we are over 65 we are unable to go on this trip.
We are very healthy senior citizens and use no walking assistance, etc.
Why an age limit on a boat tour??
Written July 17, 2024
We booked our tour through our cruise with NCL and I don’t recall an age limit and have no idea why there would be one. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
