My husband and I recently spent the day aboard a catamaran with Nautical Adventures and WOW, I can't say enough good things about this company! It was a fabulous way to celebrate a birthday!!
The crew of Alex, Michael and Jimmy made the day memorable and went out of their way to make sure everyone on board was happy and enjoying themselves. As we cruised along on the way to and from the island we enjoyed the sun, great conversation and yummy rum punch drinks. The guys checked on us frequently.
Once at the island we enjoyed an amazing lunch--this was not your average barbecue!! We had lobster, chicken, shrimp ceviche, and lots of delicious sides.
We snorkeled twice, both times with one of the guys who helped us as needed and pointed out interesting things. We saw many colorful fish. It was nice that we were never rushed and that the guides were genuine and filled with enthusiasm that was contagious. It would have been impossible NOT to have a fabulous time!! Highly recommend!

Everything was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were a small family group (5 people) from ages 22 to 74. The catamaran trip to Laughing Bird Caye was great, Captain Jimmy is first rate and Mike made our group feel so comfortable and is very knowledgeable and a great bartender! Mike is a great snorkeling guide and pointed out underwater life that we probably would have missed. The lunch that Captain Jimmy prepared for us was delicious and prepared just right! The sailing without the motor on the way back was so peaceful and relaxing. You can't do any better than Captain Jimmy and Mike, they truly enjoy working together, love what they do, are so accommodating and make everything go so smoothly. This should be a must do when in Placentia!

Our sunset cruise in Placencia with Nautical Adventures was the perfect way to close our Placencia vacation. Garrick was so easy to contact to make the reservation and to confirm it the day of the cruise. Mike took care of us on board and made sure all 10 passengers had a drink in hand at all times, took pictures, and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. The food was delicious: chicken, meatball, ceviche, sushi rolls, chips, fish spread. Jim, the captain made sure we had the best sunset view. I wish we had also been able to book a day sail with them. I recommend this trip to anyone.

I envisioned what this excursion might be like based on the description, photos, and reviews. I must say, I need a better imagination. This 38’ catamaran trip on a boat called YOLO, captained by Jimmy and Mike from Placencia to Moho Caye was an absolute dream.
The hospitality, warmth, expertise, and sheer delight Mike and Jimmy shared was exemplary. We began with a 90 minute jaunt to Moho Caye while sipping on rum punch on the trampoline netting on the bow. Grill Master Jimmy prepped, exceptional carribean jerk chicken and pork chops, potatoes, and other tasty treats, plus vegan options for my girlfriend while we drifted around the crystal clear azure waters and sunbathed on the velvety beige-white sand. They had felled ready to drink coconuts as well.
We had as much privacy as we wished, with perfected hospitality when we needed it. After lunch we escaped to the corner of the blissful island, I dropped to a knee, and she said yes.
My now fiancée, crew and I set sail back with motors off on the majestic sea as we were with the current and wind. If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime adventure beyond your dreams, search no more. Also, the owner, Lee’s communications and thoughtfulness was amazingly helpful and prompt every step of the way!

Took a catamaran trip to Laughing Bird Caye yesterday. Captain Jimmy, Mike and Marco were absolutely the best. Very responsive to our every need. My daughter felt so supported that she was able to snorkel with Mike twice and previously would not even walk up to her waist in the water. A big mackerel was caught on our way to the Caye and Chief Jimmy cooked it along with other delicious food. The drinks were delicious and they had plenty of water and soft drinks on board if you didn’t want the “cool kids drinks “.
This was the best service experience I have ever had in Belize. The crew anticipated our every need and assured that we never wanted for anything.
These 3 helped me to feel safe getting on and off the boat and I so appreciated their kindness.
Would highly recommend this company and this crew were superior. Thank you so much!!

My family and our family friends took a day trip with Mike and Captain Jimmy, and it was one of the very best experiences we had in Belize- and that's saying a lot because we did some pretty incredible things.
The guides were able to perfectly meet the needs and wants of all 10 of us, and everyone had a fantastic time. The island we went to was beyond gorgeous, the food was perhaps the best I had in Belize, and the guides were so wonderful. They were attentive, knowledgable, and so fun to talk to and learn from. Jimmy's food was astonishingly good, and Mike was such a fun guy to have as a guide. The drinks were great and we all enjoyed being treated like royalty for a day. Jimmy was incredibly competent at sailing, cooking, fishing, and everything he did, and our guides made an incredible team. We felt right at home.
Mike was so kind and thoughtful. One girl in our group had found a pretty sand dollar while swimming and left it on the boat, and Mike even dropped it off for us to the security of the gated community we were at so get it back to her. We hadn't even said anything! These guys truly go above and beyond.
There wasn't a single one among us who didn't have the time of our lives, whether it be adults, teens, or kids. It truly felt like a day of paradise and we'll definitely be remembering it for years to come! We went on other day trips, but none compared to this one. I highly recommend it! This is certainly the best one you'll find.

Wow! This was by far the most enjoyable tour/day trip we have ever experienced on any vacation. Mike and Capt. Jerry were incredibly fun, kind and genuinely dedicated themselves to ensuring we had as much fun as possible, doing the things that our group wanted to do…which included sailing to a private island where we enjoyed an incredible lunch prepared by Capt. Jerry, snorkeled the reef and generally just had fun. The entire time Mike tended to our ever need and ensured that anyone who needed a beverage always had a cold one in hand.
If you’re going to Placencia, this is a must do!

I feel this review is long overdue as I have been out with Nautical Adventures on their 30' or 40' Sailing Catamarans at least 5 times. The level of service provided by the local guides and crew is impeccable. Drinks are constantly topped up, snacks are brought around, the bbq lunch on the island rivals any local fine dining available in Belize. Private guided snorkeling, fishing off the back of the boat, spectacular views and destinations....need I say more?? I can't wait for my next adventure with this 5 star tour company!! Thanks to all crew and the owners for making booking so easy and providing wonderful locals experiences for those of us living in the area.

Best day ever on Moho Caye with Jimmy, Mike and Nick! These guys made sure us "mama bears didn't have to be mama bears" for an entire day! They waited on us hand and foot, always keeping our drinks full. Just watch out for the amazing rum punch as it'll catch up to you faster than you realize. :)
On the way out to Moho, they kept a fishing rod in the water and caught a yellowtail snapper, which Jimmy added to our very yummy lunch. On the way back in, Nick caught a bonita and made ceviche for a snack on the boat. These guys were so knowledgeable about all things Belize and adventures on the water.
The sailboat was in great condition and I appreciated the communication of the measures taken to ensure our safety. Jimmy was a great captain and cook and stayed amused by our (seven 50-something and two 20-something women) choice of music, singing, and dancing.
I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a great day of relaxation, leisure, and fun in the sun with 3 great guys!

We went on day trip to Moho Island with Mime and Jimmy. Jimmy was the captain and a great one let us get our hands on the wheel and steer the boat and then Mike was the host that wouldn't let you lift a finger! Mike was amazing kept reassuring us that we were on vacation and to let him handle anything we needed. Once we got to the Island Jimmy cooked for us and made us the most amazing BBQ lunch with the most amazing sauce Mango Tango. Mike and Jimmy really showed us a great time and made sure we were well taken care of. The drinks were great Mike was make and the food Jimmy made created one of the best times we had on our trip! Thanks Mike and Jimmy hopefully we see you guys again. I highly recommend this company to anyone that is looking to book!
