Traveler Tips

If you want a relaxing day on the water then pay for a private tour.

Make sure you eat there, because you probably won’t have time at Rick’s Cafe.

We went on one of the adult only days so I am not sure if they change the music on the non adult days.

It's ok... lots of folks...

Timothy_J, May 2022

It's ok... lots of folks though. Be prepared to not have a seat on the boat and just chill. You have to transfer from the catamaran to another boat that then takes you to Ricks. We only had an hour before the catamaran left so we didn't take the chance.. great sunset view though.

Don’t waste your time with this tour. Plenty of other catamarans to choose.

Bobbie_N, May 2022

The boat was falling apart. Side rails were completely rusted through. Steps to board were loose and unsafe. The crew was more concerned with their own good time and not the safety of those on board. They spent the majority of the time drinking and flirting. Completely irresponsible when loading the boat.

Response from Host, May 2022

The catamaran you were on is Sunshine she’s a couple of years old and not at all as you described.. Our staff do not drink on the boats they are working. We had a full catamaran we were looking after many guests, if you feel we didn’t give you enough time and attention, we are sorry but we have many guests to take care of..

Absolutely fabulous time!

Heather_W, May 2022

The crew was incredibly helpful and great to be around. They made the trip a wonderful experience. The boat was on time and timed everything perfectly so we caught an a amazing sunset.

Response from Host, May 2022

So glad you had fun… see you next time around

Awful experience all around

Bridgette_A, May 2022

This experience was just terrible. The way customers had to depart the boat to get on another small tug boat was not only scary but very dangerous to say the least. You all need to do something better than that.

Response from Host, May 2022

It’s not a tug boat it’s a glass bottom boat, and all the large catamarans that dock at ricks cafe have to use them to transfer you over, there’s a swim line that the large boats can’t cross due to size.. EVERY COMPANY HAS TO TRANSFER THIS WAY OR YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION TO SWIM THE DISTANCE..! You do have the option to stay onboard at ricks if you wish…also.!

Un organized

SHARIEAN_S, Apr 2022

It was an 1.5 hr ride to the location which was expected since our hotel was in Montego Bay but when we got there we were told the boat would leave at 2:30 PM. We got there around 1 PM and our group ordered food to get something to eat before the sailing. Around 2 PM we were told that the boat was sailing now and we had to cancel our order. They did this blc it started pouring. We had to walk through the water to get on the boat, it started to pour & about 25 min of sailing we were told it was canceled due to the weather. My issue is we were hungry because of the unexpected time change of the sailing and why didn’t cancel it from the moment it start pouring. We still tried to make the best of it, asked the tour guide if we can stay back 30 min to get a bite to eat. Put in our order and was told right after that the bus is leaving now so once again we had to cancel our food. Now board a bus to travel 1.5 hrs again back home soaking wet and starving.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

You had an hour to order foods, the boat starts boarding 30 mins befor we cruise as it does every day, , we cannot control the weather and the rain came, you were fully refunded instantly and we covered the roundtrip transportation also, we had other guests to get back to Montego Bay, your group made us late to get into negril by 30 mins as we had to wait around while the other guests on the bus were getting irritated and asking the driver to leave.. You had more then enough time to order food within the hour at Margaritaville when you arrived The water you walked into is the ocean and it’s knee deep, everyone walks into it to get to the stairs of the boat The tour guide said to you that if you wanted to stay then you can but it’s down to you to pay for your return, as our buses were taking the other guests back to Montego Bay, you declined to do this as you wanted the free roundtrip transfers and a full refund, and you wanted to make the other guests wait for you again Please see the review from the others guests that were on your same bus from Montego Bay they had foods and drinks at Margaritaville!?????

Way Too Loud

John_C, Apr 2022

Could not really enjoy the beautiful sights with music blaring the entire time. Also would have been nice to be able to snorkel without life jackets strapped to our backs.

Litty lit

Tina_A, Apr 2022

Though my phone got wet in the ocean, the energy, dancing, snorkeling was great. The safety of us not docking during the waves was great. The team was attentive and fun.

Book it

DeVante_B, Apr 2022

The best excursion that I did in a week while in Jamaica, the staff are informative and nice, it’s the right amount of time for everything, and you can’t beat an open bar

Boat ride was beautiful...

April_B, Mar 2022

Boat ride was beautiful and everyone was so friendly. Favorite part was jumping off the cliff into the ocean!! Highly recommended!!

Fun in the sun

Shantel_T, Mar 2022

I traveled solo and it was a very fun boat activity. The complimentary drinks were so good and the rum punch was out of this world. Highly recommend.
