Catermaran and Rick's Cafe
Fabtastic crew. Was fun and relaxing. Wish we had more time at the beautiful beach The food there was beautiful

Let’s start this party off right
We had the BEST time ever! Dixie kept the party going from beginning to end—the energy was amazing! We danced, laughed, and enjoyed every moment, from the shore all the way to Rick’s Café. Dixie made sure everyone was having a great time and created memories we’ll never forget. A TIME WAS DEFINITELY HAD! 💃🏽🎉🌴🇯🇲
via Viator
Definitely would do this again.
It’s a great experience and very well put together. The staff is definitely amazing and they make the experience so fun.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, we are all glad you had fun and look forward to welcoming you home next time around

Montego Bay Area Visitors Please Read!!
The actual cruise was wonderful & staff was pleasant, energetic & entertaining however the transportation/logistics aspect is completely overshadowed the experience. If you’re staying in Montego Bay or above/north I would not recommend this excursion. It was never communicated that if you are picked up from the Montego Bay Area it will take 2-3 hours to get to the starting point of cruise. We spent more time on the bus than the actual cruise there wasn’t enough time to eat, relax & enjoy the stops at Margaritaville & Rick’s Cafe. Had the company disclosed the estimated travel time from pickup to starting point, I would have never booked this for my family, total day was this excursion 10am - 10pm! No customer is willingly going to sign up for a 6 hour bus round trip to only on be a boat for 2-2.5hours & 30mins-1hour at each stop. DO NOT BOOK IF YOU’RE STAYING IN MONTEGO BAY AREA!! Distances in Jamaica don't translate the same way they do in the U.S.—25 to 30 miles can easily take 2–3 hours depending on the route and number of pickups. Oh by the way you have to get on the boat via walking through the water (above waste high) so FYI

Kids and adults had a great time!
We had a great time! We traveled with 2 kids ages 3 and 10 and they had a blast! The drinks were good, snorkeling was fun, and there was endless music to dance to. The crew was great at keeping the party going! The only thing I wish was that we had more time to spend at Rick’s because it felt very rushed with the crowds there. Definitely would recommend though!!

NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucea.
How much does NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS cost?
+
Prices start at $87 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucea usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucea is not rushed.
Is NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 416 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucea, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS?
+
Around 146 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucea can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucea and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does NEGRIL CATAMARAN CRUISE Sunset Ricks Cafe ALL HOTELS start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucea within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lucea?
+
On Outty we rank every Lucea experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Negril Tour – Beach, Local Stops, Shopping & Rick’s Café, Jamaica - Rafting & Limestone Massage, Explore Montego Bay Jamaica to Negril Beach & Ricks Cafe Sunset. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lucea?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lucea?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
