What our guests say

★★★★★

"We visited Captain Eric twice — once for the starter tour and a night snorkel. This guy is fantastic. Could not give a better experience, plus he has a wonderful new boat. Do yourself a favor and book him."

"Captain Eric got us to the stingrays before any other boat. The rays seemed to personally know him — they swam straight to him and stayed. Then a private reef to snorkel. Incredibly memorable."

★★★★★

"A marvelous time with Captain Eric. Very friendly and knowledgeable — tons of local info about the island. Caught a barracuda, saw flying fish, and snorkeled the reef privately. Highly recommend!"
