★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,100 reviews · from $119Our pick

Join The VI Cat at Marriott Frenchman’s Cove for a three-hour afternoon sail to Turtle Cove at Little Buck Island. Snorkel with green sea turtles, coral, and tropical fish, or stay aboard and swim. Captain Serena, Captain Dave, and crew members such as Isaac, Sam, and Nick are known for friendly service and clear safety guidance.

“Great experience. Very accommodating. Ive been on tours that say they include snacks and drinks but do not. This one really does. The guides were friendly abd helpful, the captain was very skilled. All of them were knowledgeable. You may want to bring a towel. Also, you cannot wear shoes on the deck. My onky regret was not bringing my snorkel and mask from home. We saw about 15 sea turtles, Sgt majors, parroting, blowfish, a school of ballyhoo, sea urchins and more. Well worth the price.”

“Very knowledgeable and helpful crew of two! We were well taken care of. It was an enjoyable day!! Due to the fact that our cruise ship was docked in a different location, it was a little inconvenient but doable. We had to taxi there & back & didn't find the correct location right away.”
