We booked a 5 hour catamaran tour with Action Charters. The meeting place outside the cruise port was clearly described in their email and their driver arrived on time and drove us the 10 minutes to the dock area where we boarded the boat. The crew was very friendly and kept the passengers well supplied with various tasty beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We were also provided delicious banana bread as well as a fantastic buffet lunch (my favorite was the macaroni and cheese dish). We also stopped at several lovely snorkeling spots and there was plenty of equipment available for whatever type of swimming of snorkeling activities you chose to enjoy. It was a really lovely day and exceeded expectations. We made it back to the cruise port right at the scheduled time. My one small criticism is that it was a bit crowded onboard the catamaran, but pretty much typical. The cost of the tour seemed very reasonable. I would certainly recommend this activity.

Originally requested date for the small 10 person Cat for 6 people on line, within a couple of hours Graham had contacted me to explain that it was booked for another party but could accommodate my family and I the day earlier but promised we would have the boat to ourselves.
Taxi picked us up from our villa and on time.
Communication and meeting Graham and our Captain (Randall) for the day was very efficient.
The shipwreck and turtle snorkel stop was superb with Randall assisting.
We then sailed (engines off) up the west coast and anchored off of Sandy Lane beach for more swimming and an excellent on board lunch.
Drinks were also all included in the cost and Randall was an excellent host.
We had 5 hours on the Cat and we all had a fantastic day..
I have been on other boat trips in Barbados over the past few years and the small Cat with just our party on board made it more special than the larger boats, in my opinion.
I will definitely be contacting Graham again when I return next year.
5* treatment throughout

When we booked this tour, they were booked to do a private tour from 10-1, so we were accommodated with a 1-6 tour, which we were excited about, as we got all of the snorkelling/swimming, and also got to enjoy the sunset cruise back to dock.
Our driver picked us up promptly at the time arranged and drove us from Holetown to Bridgetown. She was very pleasant and we felt that we got a tour of all of the local sights on the way. Very informative and pleasant!
Once we arrived in Bridgetown, Graham was there to greet us and show us to the boat.
Even though this was a smaller catamaran, having fewer guests made for a more personal experience. Randall and CJ were constantly bringing attention to points of interest throughout the charter, and we got a lot of history and background on the area. We really felt that we got to know Randall and CJ on personal levels, and they were both excellent hosts in all ways.
They did not rush to get us back and the experience overall was very enjoyable, relaxing, and very good value for money.
We were very happy with our day on Cool Cat, and would definitely recommend this charter!

This was the highlight of our trip to barbados! We took the 5 hour tour which includes lunch and refreshments throughout the tour.
Graham is awesome as are his staff. Really makes your trip.
Action collects you from your hotel, brings you to the boat in bridge town and takes you back.
You see the turtles and fish around the ship wrecks and the sites. Definitely worth the money! Action boats are smaller so tours are more relaxed and comfortable than the larger tour boats.

We chartered a private sunset cruise with Graham. Our transportation was prompt to pick us up and was exactly where they said they would be. Our crew was Shay and Dylan and they were incredible. They made our trip extra special. Everything about it was top notch. The food was amazing. We had a fantastic time. We would highly recommend these guys and would definitely book with them. Can’t say enough wonderful things about these guys.

This day was well organised from start to finish. Booking was easy, pick up arrangements and communication was clear. Everything went to plan. Graham and his crew were outstanding. The snorkelling was great we saw turtles, tarpon, swam over several wrecks to see many species of fish including several large rays. Lunch was very good, the drinks flowed and we had a great time. We ended with a swim at Sandy Bay before sailing back. Awesome, thanks for a great memorable day guys.

We just got back from a 5 hour trip, truly one of the best experiences of our lives! I noticed someone said the crew are trying too hard to be funny, but we were all glad they did, it added to the experience. The organisation was great from start to finish, all of the crew were helpful, funny and knowledgeable. The snorkelling was incredible, with turtles, many rays inc a sting ray, lots of different fish, and the wrecks were fascinating. Lunch was delicious, service second to none. We are running out of time here but thinking about booking again, even if for a sunset 3 hour!

Our day on the stiletto was amazing! The captain and crew were very pleasant and took great care of everyone on board! Beautiful sights, snorkeling and a delicious lunch. The drinks were flowing as often as we wanted one! An excellent day.

We had a great Christmas Day morning, snorkelling at shipwrecks and a reef and we also made a stop to snorkel with a turtle. The crew were great and the drinks delicious. We did the 3 hour trip and got dropped back at the beach by the Lone star.

Written February 22, 2020
Hi Graham. My husband and I will be staying in Fitts Village for a week from 11th March. My husband and I would like to do your catamaran trip, but can we book the day before we want to do the trip, or would we need to book up way in advance?
Kind regards
