Fantastic Experience! - The crew was professional, friendly, and very fun!
The boat was clean and spacious!
And the drinks were very good!
We had a smaller group booked on our tour, so easy transfers to and from Rick's Cafe.
Overall a fantastic experience!

Great solo trip - I had amazing time. We on a solo trip and booking the catamaran was thr cheapest way to get to Rick's Cafe. I was able to enjoy the entertainment, snorkeling, Margaritaviile and Rick's cage. Great bargain for my buck.

Rick’s was good, catamaran was best! - Fun trip. Catamaran staff were wonderful providing entertainment and a safe scuba experience. Ricks cafe was interesting. Amazing to watch people cliff jump. Overall a bit too crowded and bustling for my liking, but definitely an iconic place worth a visit. Catamaran ride made it all worthwhile. (Just beside Sunset at the Palms…..the Bammie…..Captain Big Bird!

Not a sunset catamaran experience, very loud music, less than 3 hour boat ride. - They took us to Margaritasville, it was not clear on where to go or where to be. The boat was not there on time. Stated we would board at 2:15, boat wasn’t there until after 2:30. I didn’t know that we were walking in water hip high to get on the boat. It was more a party boat, the music was extremely loud. They expected everyone to wear life vests, but the they wanted tips for their divers, and their staff did not wear life vests. Very difficult to snorkel with a life vest on. Not very good experience with snorkeling, basically just said go in that direction. They did not have banana chips or anything similar, it was generic cheese puffs or chips. We were picked up by bus at Ricks instead of riding Catamaran back to Margaritasville. It was not explained that pickup was not the same place as drop off. I signed up for sunset Catamaran, we were dropped off at Ricks cafe at 5:30 pm, no where near sunset. I am very disappointed as Sunset catamaran was in the description of the tour! We were dropped back off at our resort before sunset, I was hoping to be in catamaran for sunset! I’m thankful I purchased the round trip option from resort. Our driver was good. The scenery was wonderful, no guide or site explanation.

Way too loud and crowded. - Too LOUD. This "tour" runs tight along the Negril cliffs where patrons of luxury resorts lounge and swim and nap. For two to three hours every afternoon, this and 8 other catamaran tourist trips voyage to Rick's Bar. They play "music" at way over 11 volume and have screaming DJs that disturb the peace like nowhere else. Repeated requests by the resorts for a break fall on deaf ears - no wonder. Stop it now.

Not what it says on the tin - Disappointed to say the least - not at all what we were expecting.
We were expecting a sunset catamaran cruise but got nothing of the sort.
We were collected from the hotel at 12.30 and told we were going to go to Margaraitville to get on the catamaran, however not until 14.30 and that we could either go shopping and receive a beach bag if purchased something or stay in Margaraitville, have a drink/food and wait for the catamaran (bearing in mind you're not supposed to drink before snorkelling.
The coral is dead and there were hardly any fish to see.
We then headed towards Rik's Cafe and when we arrived we were told we were unable to access the cafe via the water as it was unsafe so they would take us back to Margaraitville to get the bus to Rik's Cafe which was not what we'd paid for.
There were other catamarans also at Rik's cafe and they were all advising the passengers that it wasn't safe to go across but it didn't feel right.
We and several others refused to go the Rik's cafe as this was not a sunset cruise as promised so just wanted to go back to our hotels and there was then some issues as to if we would be taken back - it was mentioned about paying for a private taxi at one point.
We spoke to several others from our hotel who had also booked to do a sunset cruise alongside others for a day cruise on different dates (and different operators) and they all sadi the same that the coral was not good and were taken by bus to Rik's Cafe as is was unsafe - however the sea was very calm.

Disgraceful - Booked a family boat which got cancelled and was then put on a party boat without our knowledge, full of wacked out drunken barley clothed kids, all grinding up on each other, couldn't hear yourself above the vile lyriced music, boat left almost an hour late, snacks were a bag of crisps , never went more than about 4 miles , wow £130.00 would rather have burnt the money, stay clear , even crew were having a fight when we returned to shore, refund refused ,

Horrible Service - A horrible story. The driver never showed up to pick us at our lobby. We were right on time as specified. We waited for over half an hr,I decided to call TripAdvisor there company. The lady said that they were at the lobby but that is a lie, we never got a message from them to inform us that there were waiting for us. I would never book through this company again.
