If you are considering the Jamaica catamaran tour starting from Montego Bay that includes stops at Margaritaville and Rick’s Café, I recommend fully understanding what the experience entails before booking. The tour is approximately ten hours and is centered heavily around a party atmosphere, with loud music and profanity that some guests may find offensive or degrading. The bus ride is nearly two hours each way, and the music was played at a very high volume throughout much of the trip. Unfortunately, the driver seemed to cater primarily to the party group, making the experience especially unpleasant for those of us seated toward the back of the bus where the speakers played directly in our ears. The stops at Margaritaville and Rick’s Café did not allow enough time for a proper meal. There is no food provided on the boat, so unless you can purchase carryout at one of the stops, you could potentially go nearly eight hours without a substantial meal while consuming alcohol—a combination that is not ideal. I have enjoyed several wonderful excursions during my stay in Jamaica, but unfortunately, I thoroughly regret making this tour my final night. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering this excursion to carefully review what is included and make sure the party atmosphere, music, transportation time, and limited meal opportunities align with their expectations before booking.

The host, Festive, is the best with a fitting name!!! The vibe and energy was fantastic. It was a non-stop party from beginning to end.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Runaway Bay.
How much does Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Runaway Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ 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 Runaway Bay is not rushed.
Is Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Runaway Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ?
+
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 Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ 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 Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ?
+
Around 6 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 Runaway Bay 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 Runaway Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Party Catamaran Sunset Ricks Cafe Negril Open Bar and DJ 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 Runaway Bay 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 Runaway Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Runaway Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Sightseeing Tour in and Around Ocho Rios, Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios, Jungle River Tubing and Beach Adventure with Transportation. 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 Runaway Bay?
+
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 Runaway Bay?
+
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.
