Super-clean catamaran, fabulous crew, nice snorkel location (reef suffering from global warming, but still plenty of fish, stingrays and turtles). Lunch and drinks were extremely good — GF and Vegetarian options were ample and delicious (even though I require neither). Nice size group — not at all over-crowded, and super-convenient location just a 10 min. walk from the cruise pier. Just have to land again on the crew — truly fantastic!”
