5.00The VI Cat snorkel tour to Buck Island was a wonderful experience for our family. Captain Michael, Dan and Dakota were a great crew and helped us to get the most from our trip by being friendly and willing to share their knowledge and expertise. My husband and I have been on catamaran snorkeling trips before and this one was right up there with most enjoyable! For our daughter and 13 year old grandson, it was a new experience and they just loved it. To see all the marine life was such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had Anders, Andrea, and I can’t remember the captains name sorry! A great time was had by everyone on board. The ride out to buck cove was choppy so if you get motion sickness be prepared for that or take some meds like I did. The snorkeling was everything I wanted it to be! We saw turtles, a barracuda, lots of fish and a couple rays! The ride back was way smoother thank goodness and the snacks and drinks were great too.
Fun afternoon

5.00We had a fantastic snorkel trip with Serena, Adrian and Dan aboard the VI Cat. The boat was comfortable with lots of shady and sunny spots to sit. At Turtle Cove we saw numerous turtles, rays, and tropical fish. Plenty of time to snorkel. On the way home we sailed and enjoyed snacks and Painkillers. This is a great family activity.
Great...

5.00We had a great boat ride out to Buck Island. Crew was great! I didn’t know it was a big group tour I thought there would be less people. There was plenty of room to fit. Crew provided lots of beverages and snacks on the way back. Highlight was 2 sea turtles and a big spotted ray.
