I really want to go on a boat just to party during the day and/or doing something different. I saw A lot of mixed reviews for the catamaran cruise and wanted anyone’s opinion/review/recommendation for any activities similar. Not a great swimmer so all the scuba ones i cant do “/ any advice?!
redstripe catamaran cruise next to boat bar... Jojo organized a trip last year and it was so much fun! good dinner and all the drinks you can handle... down to rick's then back. so fun!
ETA: where are you staying? kind of sounds like you are talking about an included cruise?
The Catamaran cruise is great! My wife doesn't swim either and she loves it. Just let the crew know and they will provide a flotation vest and keep a good eye on you.
Really?! I will Check that one out so is it better to book right there or can i do It ahead of time ? We rented out a villa by West End.Quote:

I would wait to book. they have set days to go out so don't plan on going day of... go and talk with them as soon as you can when you arrive in town and set a date. If you have a small group (2-10 people) plan to go with others on a trip (super fun, i think!), with a large group (20+), you can make arrangements to charter, in the case of our Boardie trip last year.Quote:

Livin...lol That chicken was so good. I scarfed it.......that boat ride was so fun, it will always be a top day for me in Negril........the best part was when it was done, and none of us wanted to get off, so they anchored and let us party on for like another hour.... sweet time s!!!!
top notch service!!! which is hilarious because when we boarded I think they thought we were all nuts!Quote:

We met at the Boat Bar around 10:00 am , cruised out to the reef near Booby Cay to snorkel and then we went to the cliffs and anchored by Joseph’s Cave and had a delicious lunch. Fun crew! Great time! Will definitely do it again!Quote:

The only thing I think that should be mentioned is that it's a small Cat, so seating is really just all over the boat where I saw that the larger (and more expensive Cats) had better seating on their boats (for all their passengers). SO if you have any physical limitations, I'd suggest a bigger Cat.

ukran 1ans, that was a big part of the fun though...plop wherever you wanted, walk around, dance around......when it got really wavey, a few of us sat on the netting, and got totally splashed from all directions ..... I haven't laughed that much in a long while....
I did the Red Stripe in August. It was $60 and we had a blast. But I agree Ukran1ans. I have a bad back, and sitting just anywhere for a few hours of bouncing around can be excruciating. Finding a place to stand if the boat is crowded isn't much easier. I still do the Red Stripe every year because I find it the livelier boat, although not the Hedo nude cruise of years ago
Thanks guys for all of the great insight. We ended up doing the one that was on viator my brother in law books tours so he was able to get us a deal. Boyfriend had the time of his life after we got back on the boat so sad it ended so quickly our didn’t come with a meal just chips. I definetly Want to try a bigger one next time. They gave out shots for birthdays and anniversaries one of the best day drinking events we had!
So thank you for all of your suggestions. What’s the name of the bigger Cats? I’m trying to see if they do it all around the island.

Oh yes, definitely worth mentioning..... not all want a crazy, wild ride.......... I have to remember , this was a boat full of 24 boardies........lol
What would be a larger one with better seating you would suggest? I'm half of an older couple with back issues & would definitely have trouble getting around on that but would like to do a sunset one to the west end, possibly with dinner depending on the price. Planning to come in Nov.
SVW, Check out '' Island Charter TOURS ""......they offer three larger boats, ( sunsplash, sensation, and Tortuga ) I know at least one of them leaves out of Margaritaville around 4 times a week.
Thanks mojo p I will do that!
I went On the tortuga! It’s nice. Didn’t get the meal one. Don’t think they offered it. Super easy to book just go to margaritaville. Definitely want to try sunsplash saw it as we were boating !
