    Stay away from Island Charter LTD & Sun Shine Catamaran

    HORRIBLE!!!! On 9.27.2024, Island Charter LTD chose $$$ over the safety of the passagerners including, a 7-8 month old baby and my 84 year old mother. We had no idea we had to walk 500 feet through 5-7 feet waves. There were 6 lifeguards to assist the passengers. My belongs got wet despite putting my belongings in a plastic provided my Margaritaville. Once on board, it began to rain and it started lightening while passengers were snorkeling. Once we arrived at Rick's Cafe, we had to turn around because there were no shuttle boats. We learned that there was a marine warning and the other catamaran excursions canceled. But not Island Charters ! Island Charters was only concerned with $$$$. HORRIBLE!!! We never made it to Rick's Cafe!!

    Response from the operator: The videos of All of your group dancing, drinking and partying onboard prove the total opposite to your review NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED TO ANY STAFF, or THE HOTEL OR THE DRIVER…OR VIATOR by you or anyone in your group Your group were rude and very Disrespectful to all staff

    Not good

    Thunderstorms, snorkeling was not good. A lot of money for nothing really. Was looking forward to seeing a good snorkling area and we couldn’t go there. Would have rather had a refund and stayed at our resort. Not fun.

    Not really a "snorkel" trip in my book!

    Overall enjoyed the trip but certainly not my favorite snorkeling experience. First, it was ONE 30 minute snorkel for a four hour trip. And they forced us to wear life jackets, so not really a snorkel excursion in my book. More like a float on the surface and view. Wouldn't have been an issue IF this had been disclosed to me BEFORE I purchased or boarded the ship. I am not a ship captain, but felt the skiff back to the catamaran was overloaded. If you're looking for loud music, lots of drinking, this is the cruise for you. If you want to go snorkeling, I suggest looking elsewhere. This is all my personal opinion.

    Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 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 Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 8 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 Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL?

    +

    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 Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL?

    +

    Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ricks Cafe Cruise Snorkeling Open Bar DJ OCEAN EDEN BAY/CORAL 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.
