5.00This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Andrew made the booking process simple and stress-free, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of our questions. Our captain, Brian, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and truly made this the highlight of our vacation. His professionalism, local expertise, and friendly personality made for an unforgettable day on the water. Most importantly, I can't thank the team enough for the smile they put on my wife's face. The memories we made will stay with us for a long time. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a first-class experience.

5.00Had a great sunset snorkeling cruise with Bonus Time! Boat was modern and spotless! We stopped for Pizza and were off to the snorkeling spots. First stop was a fish ID experience! Sooo many different fish, tons of silversides, an eagle ray and a couple groups of squid! We had seen lots of turtles of our dives and at the local beaches so we wanted to go somewhere where we could see more sea life on our next snorkel experience. The next spot didn’t disappoint! Rays, trigger fish, puffers and so much more! Had an excellent time!!
Beautiful sunset cruise

5.00Took a wonderful sunset cruise around St. John with my husband. The boat was lovely and our Captain Scott Darwin couldn’t have been better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had great ideas for where to go for the best snorkeling and sunset views. He even texted Lime Out ahead of our arrival so the kitchen could make our food before they closed up at 5pm. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!
