    About this experience

    Guaranteed to be the BEST day of your holiday! Perfect for all ages. You will snorkel at two different spots during this excursion. The knowledgeable crew will teach you all about these sea creatures and their value to the reef. You will even get to swim and snorkel in abandoned pirate caves. Our open bar includes cold beers, rum punch, soda, juice and water. At the uninhabited Booby Cay, you can watch us while we grill freshly caught lobsters, along with jerk chicken on authentic fire coal. We serve it with steam vegetables, rice and peas, garlic sauce. ***NOTE Lobster season is closed from April 21st to June 30th. In this time we offer sea crab, fish or shrimp instead. Then onto the world famous Rick's Cafe, a once in a lifetime experience. The most incredible way to see it is from sea at sunset. You are welcome to get off and spend time people watching or do some cliff jumping. Drinks, music, food, fun and an animated boat crew will have you wishing it never ends.

    Best Jamaican experience

    We had the absolute best time with Jace and his crew. It was high energy from beginning to end. They picked us up from our resort’s beach. We snorkled and swam with schools of fish, saw a sunken cannon, and lobster in the reef. The lobster lunch was incredible! The rum punch and drinks were always being poured. We swam in a cave in the bluest water I’ve ever seen. We finished up the day at Rick’s and drank and jumped the cliffs. It was a perfect day—15 out of 10!!

    Favorite day of our Anniversary trip!

    Captain Jace's glass bottom boat tour is something I will do every time I visit Jamaica! Today's tour was my second time getting to go and I loved it again! The meal is always my favorite meal on the island and the guys treat us just like family! I gave them 5🌟 but I'd give them 10 if I could!

    We had a great time with...

    We had a great time with Capt. Jace Allen Glass-bottom boat tours! The Captain and the crew were knowledgeable and fun for the guided boat tour, snorkeling, lunch at Booby Kay and a visit to Rick’s Place. Jamaican owned and operated, with an authentic, local touch. Definitely recommend.

    Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Negril.

    How much does Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling cost?

    +

    Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Negril usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Negril is not rushed.

    Is Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Negril, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling?

    +

    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 Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling?

    +

    Around 7 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 Negril 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 Negril and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Negril Ricks cruise PLUS Booby Cay Lobster & Cave Snorkeling 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 Negril 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 Negril?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Negril experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Transportation and Tour from Montego Bay to Blue Hole/Secret Falls, Negril Glass Bottom Boat Tour Snorkeling and Booby Cay, ATV, Bamboo Rafting and Negril Ricks Cafe from Montego Bay. 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 Negril?

    +

    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 Negril?

    +

    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.
