We are considering booking this trip. Is it worth the cost of around $75.00 per person?

Yes, we thought it was worth it! My husband & I were on it in 2001 and we had a blast!

The ride out(about an hour) was beautiful, they had Champagne and OJ. The beach was beautiful. My husband did the snorkeling, he said it was great. I just went swimming and relaxed on the beach. They come to you in the water and ask if you want a drink!

We stayed there about 2 hours, and on the way back there is snacks and open bar. They play caribbean music and evryone was dancing.

Just remember, its a sail boat, and you FEEL every wave. My husband got a little queasy since we left right after he ate a huge breakfast. I was not bothered by it. I loved the sun in my face and the ocean water spraying my face. Bring sun screen, the sun is VERY strong.

If you go you will have fun.

Great trip I went on it last Sept and wished my husband and I would have gone on it this past March. I is not a rowdy party boat like others. Very tasteful and the crew was great! Have fun.
