Thanks Ian and Megan for a great day of snorkeling on Buck island, I'll be back Kevin, Colorado

My wife and I went snorkeling with Jeanna and Lindsey in St. Thomas on Thursday August 30th. They were excellent hosts and we all had a great time. I think everyone on board enjoyed visiting with Jeanna and Lindsey as much as they enjoyed the boat ride and the snorkeling. Thanks again. Paul Robischon Olympia, Washington

I was with Jan and Chris. The whole ride was fun, especially cruising on the waves. The boat was fast and fun. when we started scuba-ing, it was a disaster. Everyone messed up, but Jan and Chris helped us out. The fruit was good, shrimp was good, and the drinks were good. The beach was fun also

hey all... just wanted to add my voice to the folks singing the praises of snorkeling with Capt Nautica! while we were visiting St Thomas on the Carnival Miracle, Ian and Jana took us out (along with several others) and the whole family had a fabulous time!! thank you so much for a big part of a vacation that the kids will never forget... da ve, Sue, Jessica and Justin

We stayed on St. Thomas and took the Capt Nautica out of Sapphire Beach with Ian and Jana-Ian played awesome tunes, starting the trip with "Magical Mystery Tour" as we took off to St John. Jana seved rum punch and beer, shrimp cocktail and fresh fruit. The entire trip was awesome, my favorite part was Sandy Spit, we could have stayed there all day-the sand was like velvet and the water was gorgeous clear turquoise blue. The caves and the indians were breathtaking and had excellent snorkeling. Jost Van dyke was very cool with the bars and the shops along the beach, and lunch on the willie t was an experience-there was an huge barracuda circling the boat. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a really fun boat trip and an excellent snorkeling adventure!

I forgot to tell you guys- we went on the boat June 27. Thanks again! :)

Hi! I just wanted to let you guys know how much my family and I enjoyed our day with Daniel and Lindsey in St. Thomas. Of all our vacation days, the one we spent on your boat was my favorite, hands down. The ages of our group ranged from 14-50 something, and EVERYONE had a blast. Daniel and Lindsey were just amazing- I don't think we could've asked for better captains (because Lindsey is now a captain!! =]) Also, I really appreciate your charisma and flexibility with my special needs cousin--You guys were so sweet with him, and he really enjoyed the day. Whenever I get stressed back here in VA I just think back to that day: the breathtaking blue water, the wind in my hair, and the totally awesome snorkeling!! And who could forget the "fresh water rinse"?! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime, the memories will not be forgotten. The world needs more people like Daniel and Lindsey, thank you both again for our day!

Hi!! We went out on Summer Love with Ian and Megan on July 6th, and all of us had a blast! (well, except the one person who was a little seasick) I had such an awesome time, i don't think i've ever had so much fun on a vacation. The best part was just cruising on the water in the boat, hopping the waves. Ian and Megan were very gracious hosts, laid back and attentive, and they definitely contributed to our enjoyment. I would do this again in a heartbeat, and i would definitely recommend it to anyone (who doesn't get too seasick, that is!). Oh, and the snorkeling wasn't bad either! Cristina, the newlyweds, the Puius and the Sterlers

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Carnival Triumph, but nothing topped our smorkeling adventure in St. Thomas. My 14-year-old twin daughters, my husband and I had our visit on Tuesday, July 3 and really enjoyed our boat ride and found that St. Thomas offered the best snorkeling of all our stops. The Capt. and firstmate were great and we left thinking this was definately an excursion we would love to do again!

Thanks for the snorkel adventure on Tuesday June 26. We came in on the Carnival Glory and went out with Meaghan and Jeff. It was myself, husband and three teenage kids along with another 16 or so people on the boat. We had a great time. The boat ride was awesome. We appreciated the de-fogger, (folks who haven't toured yet: that gunk in the mask is defogger. Don't wipe it out; spread it out!) We really enjoyed the refreshments between and after stops, and the quality of the equipment. I have only snorkled twice before and this was the first time with that type of vest and it was great because it allowed for so much freedom. Jeff and Meaghan were just great. Send them our best and our Thanks. Cary & Samantha and family

Better late than never ..... A month ago, on May 23, 2007, while our son went scuba diving, we did the Captain Nautica Ultimate Snorkel Expedition and had a FANTASTIC time! Captain Mike and Lindsay were our crew and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. They were attentive and pleasant, funny and safety conscious. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I'm terrified of water but had decided to snorkel anyway, so Linday gave me a noodle. It made all the difference in the world. I felt more comfortable and was able to see a stingray, baracuda and, of course, green sea turtles, a variety of fish and coral. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Captain Mike and Lindsay! The Pintchuk Family from Middlefield, OH.

I wanted to let you know that we (my wife, twin 14-year-old sons and myself) went on your 1:00 PM St. Thomas snorkeling excursion arranged through the Crown Princess on Friday, April 13th. It was run by Kevin and Meaghan, your captain and first-mate.

This was the fourth and final snorkeling excursion we took during our Crown Princess cruise from April 7th through April 14th. Your excursion put to shame the ones we arranged on Barbados, Antigua and St. Maarten. The snorkel sites selected by Kevin and Meaghan were far and away the best we encountered anywhere on this trip. I will also tell you that we have vacationed on Antigua, Barbados, Tortolla as well as Bermuda half a dozen times, and your snokel trip was as good as any we have enjoyed during our stays on these other islands.

In addition to the two sites we visited, Kevin and Meaghan made the trip so enjoyable simply be being themselves...friendly, courteous, extremely safety conscious, and a pleasure to be with for 4 hours.

Your company is quite fortunate to have two employees such as Kevin and Meaghan...and my assumption is that they are a reflection of why you are probably such a successful organization.

Sincerely,

Thanks !

Just to let you know that we had a great snorkeling trip last week in St Thomas. Morgan and Nate were a great team and we had a lot of fun.

great trip!! just wanted to let you all know that we were on a cruise this week and we took the captain nautica expedition with daniel and lei lani and it was amazing!! you guys do a fabulous job and the two of them made the trip incredible. i would highly recommend both of them, let me know if you ever need recommendations. i took a 16, 17 and 20 year old and all 3 of them had an amazing time. thanks again and keep up the great work! happy healthy new year,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how much we enjoyed our most recent snorkeling excursion with you. We were from the Disney Magic & our captain for the day was Daniel along with J.C. We have used your services 4 other times in the past & have always been very happy with our experiences. We always recommend you to any family & friends that may be traveling to the St. Thomas/ St. John area & I'm sure we'll use you again on our next cruise. Keep up the good work!!!!

Take care,

This past Thursday, the 15th of December 2006 my wife and I went on a snorkel trip on one of your awesome fast pace boats. We enjoyed the entire experience very much. We have both been on other snorkeling trips and although many were enjoyable yours was especially fun. I think that both the captain which I believe her name was Morgan and the ship mate Nate were what made the experience over the top.They were funny, experienced, exciting, and young hearted. Although they were all of this they made sure that you always felt safe, comfortable, and attended to. If we had to rate our experience with them between 1-10 we would have to give 100. We are from Florida so we get plenty of time in the water but besides the extra ordinary beauty of the areas they took us to I believe their professionalism and fun character made the trip what it was. Well, just wanted to let you know how great your service was, we know many people love to complain about things and don't hesitate to do so. So we figured we would give a compliment were one is due. Thanks again,

On Friday, November 24th my wife and I booked an excursion with Captain Nautica and I just wanted to say Captain Morgan and First Mate Steve made our first snorkeling event a remember able one. They were very helpful in explaining how to use the snorkeling equipment and what to look for and what dangers were at the site.

With the above being stated the most impressive thing was their personalities, they really made you feel comfortable and that they truly cared about you.

Thank you,

Hi, I went on a snorkeling excursion, from The Mariner of the Sea (RC Cruise Lines) with Kevin & JC in October. What a great trip. They are a skilled and informative team. Kevin (I hope that I have his name right), the Captain, explained the boat, the ride, and safety rules cheerfully and thoroughly. When we got to our spots he told us what we might see, where to look, and what to avoid. The refreshing drinks and snacks were just what was needed as we got settled back on board. Even a fresh water rinse off! You guys are great. I now have sea turtle pictures on the wall of my office (thanks to your staff having underwater cameras to purchase on board) that get the admiration of everyone that walks in. I'm planning 2 visits to St. Thomas next year and am hoping that my friends and I will be able to retain your services for a few hours, or a lot of hours, on each visit. Please let me know if you do private tours and if so what the rates would be. We all love to snorkel and want to see as much as possible. I look forward to hearing from you and again please share my thanks to Kevin & JC. Sincerely,

Hello,

I'm just dropping a short note to provide you some feedback on our recent trip with you guys. We were on the Glory and departed Tuesday the 3rd. I forgot the guy's name but the girl's name was "Beka". There were three of us in my party, my wife, 10 year old son and myself.

We have been snorkeling several places in the Caribbean and your stops were the best. We enjoyed seeing the turtles and stingrays at the first stop and the stop at little St John's was great.

I enjoyed the host's laid back and relaxed attitude. They made themselves available to offer and tips of hints about snorkeling. On top of that they added information about the local islands and they could point out and recognize the different fish we were seeing. We also did a snorkeling excursion at St Marteen. My wife and I both compared your trip to theirs and your's was much better.

I actually went back to the ship's excursion desk and told them what a great time we had and suggested they keep booking through you guys.

If we ever cruise through St Thomas we'll book again.

Thanks again,

Hello Captain Nautica:

We visited St. Thomas via a Carnival cruise ship on June 8, 2006 and had a wonderful time on one of your snorkel trips. K.C. and Kevin were our hosts and mentioned that you appreciate feedback so I thought I'd write.

We have snorkeled often with day tours and in a variety of locations. Our experience with Captain Nautica was by far the best. Here are some specifics that made your tour better than others - the cleanliness and condition of the boat made a very comfortable and safe environment for the guests. I was impressed that Kevin and K.C. took the time to go over safety procedures in great detail, including what we should do in the event they couldn't lead. Although we brought our own, the equipment provided looked very nice compared to what I've seen from other outfitters. The masks they provided even had the "de-fogger" in them prior - a little, yet crucial, detail that other places overlook. Kevin and K.C.'s humor and VI history was enjoyed by all. Although the lack of a language barrier greatly helped (compared to our other experiences) both mates were very professional - not a common trait of folks we've come across in this line of business. The two snorkel locations provided ample opportunity to view different things. Kevin and K.C. were very knowledgeable and helpful about the fish, turtles, reef, etc. which made the trip even more enjoyable. The fresh water spray upon re-entering the boat was also very nice and not something others offer.

I've taken the time to write you because our experience was truly better than all others and we have had at least twenty other data points of comparison, mostly in Mexico. When you're vacationing in a new place you want so badly to pick the best tours and you don't have much time, or the means, to "comparison shop." Other day trips we've taken, although always overall enjoyable, have left something to be desired in terms of the boat (ease of getting in and out), the snorkel equipment, the focus (i.e. free drinks and party versus best and maximum time snorkeling), and certainly professionalism and knowledge of the hosts.

You've done well with your team and your attention to detail is very much appreciated! I'm so glad we chose Captain Nautica for our day trip. I just wanted you to know you made our day in St. Thomas...perfect! Thank you.

Dear Captain Nautica,

My husband and I were among a group of 10 people from California that enjoyed a snorkeling tour with your guides Daniel and Greg in St. Thomas on June 20th. The trip was fabulous with both Daniel and Greg keeping us entertained with their wit, food, and an exhilarating boat ride. The tour was definitely the highlight of our trip and we will recommend Captain Nautica tours to anyone traveling to St. Thomas!

We just wanted to say Thank You for the great snorkel trip on the 7th of June. We had four of us and two of those were kids. Kevin and JC were awesome guides and were true professionals. We definitely told our cruise director and hope to come back someday.

Thanks

Good afternoon, just dropping a line about the snorkeling tour. My wife and I had gone on one of the 4 hr tours on the Tropic lightning with Kevin and Jay. We were on the Carnival Triumph (not sure if was Tuesday or Wednesday April 25/26). Just wanted to say that the snorkelling was awesome and that Kevin and Jay were great tour guides. They made the day a lot of fun and were great . I would go on a tour again with them any time and will recomend them and your company to anyone that we know who might visit your island. Thanks for a great day.

I just wanted to tell you that my wife and I had the best time last week on your boat with Capt Morgan and JC. They are terrific and I will highly recommend your trips in the future. Capt Morgan was so helpful with my wife and myself. Thanks again and you should be proud to have such a good crew on one of your boats.

Hi there:

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous week aboard the Caribbean Princess where we stopped at St. Thomas on April 18th and embarked on a snorkeling adventure with Cpt. Nautica. We had Jay and Kevin as our guides. They were AWESOME!!! They showed us a real good time and were a lot of fun. I had never snorkeled before and they were great to show me how and to reassure me in this new adventure.

We filled in a card on board the ship HIGHLY recommending the Cpt. Nautica adventure. I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Jay and Kevin for a great trip and a fun afternoon. We got to see some pretty neat things that I never would have had the opportunity to see otherwise.

Thanks again guys...keep up the good work and with any luck at all, we will be cruising again!!

Dear Captain Morgan & Chuck:

Ralph & I just wanted to send you an email & tell you that your shore excursion was the very best one we took while we were on our Carnival Cruise the week of March 19th. We were with you guys the next day after the horrible late start to our cruise. You totally relaxed us and the ocean was absolutely gorgeous where you took us out to turtle cove & shipwreck cove. Also, you were so nice to all of us and made us feel at ease with the equipment and explained everything so well. We went on a snorkeling adventure in Barbados & the two guys that took us out acted drunk when they picked us up, were full of themselves and did not explain the equipment at all. We only snorkeled at each site for about 5 or 10 minutes and the water was so rough that Ralph just about drowned. They did not provide noodles like you guys did. We were so glad we had something to compare the experience to because I probably would never do it again had I not been on your excursion. We would recommend Captain Nautica's to anyone we know in the future if they mention they are going to St Thomas!

Lastly, You guys are also people of your word! We bought a 3X t-shirt from Chuck because you didn't have one with you. Just wanted to let you know, it was waiting for us when we got back in Ohio! We couldn't believe it beat us back.

Again, thank you so much for the great memories we will always have being with you!

Sincerely,
