Top Speightstown Catamaran Cruises

Amazing day today , crew are fantastic and look after you very well . Food and drinks are the best we have had . My wife is unsure on boats but crew went out of their way to assist and reassure . A premium operator worth every penny.

What an incredible experience with Calabaza Sailing Charters! ❤️ The staff were amazing, so warm, friendly, and attentive. The boat was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the entire day felt truly special. We had such a fantastic time and made wonderful memories. Highly recommend! You won’t want the day to end!P.S. The Calabaza crew made it possible for members of my family to step outside their comfort zones and explore the open sea through snorkeling—something they had never experienced before. Seeing their excitement and sense of adventure made the day even more special!

A fantastic afternoon. The crew are the best friendly funny and attentive.. I was incredibly well looked after as a celiac ( gluten free). The food never stopped. Drinks were free flowing. Great stops to snorkel . Lovely clean catamaran.. The best we have ever been on

I have been coming to Barbados for over 2 decades, go on at least one cruise each year and have used almost all sail charters. Calabazza is the best by far. Here is why: Small boat- 12 guests so better sailing; friendly hospitality forward crew that likes to have fun; the best food served on any trip- if you do the sunset trip you get fed so much you should skip dinner; great bar and bartending; good music system, and just a wonderful chill time.

What a fantastic excursion. Though we did not snorkel, we did swim in the crystal blue waters. We stopped at 2 spots to snorkel then cruised up the island to another beach to swim and eat lunch. The food served by the staff was top notch and the drinks were free flowing. The staff was very very accommodating and they were quick to refill empty glasses. Boat was extremely comfortable with inside and outside seating. Staff, food and drink outstanding. One of the best cruise excursions we have ever been on.

Everything was amazing from registration to closing out. The food was excellent. The captain was hilarious and the gui

This was the highlight of our trip to Barbados!!! Dom and Warren were the most amazing deck hands. All of the crew was amazing. Perfect service, relaxation. All of the couples on the boat were respectful and nice to chat with.The chef and food was AMAZING! Best we had on the trip. The king fish was the best fish I had ever had.

I did this catamaran tour in July with my wife and teenage son. Wow, this was such a great experience. The boat is great - easily enough room for everyone, and a lot of room under shade, since they keep it to a low number of guests. The boat crew knew where to go for great snorkeling. The crew was really helpful for those of us new to snorkeling, it was a great experience for my family. We did see some turtles and fish. The breakfast was good, lunch was great, the rum punch was fantastic (for my wife and I, not for my son!). Riding along the coast was so relaxing.I really liked the length of this tour - this was the best catamaran tour I've done. Nothing but good things to say.

Can’t say enough good things about the trip and crew. Food and drinks were excellent and unlimited. Everyone on the crew was extremely friendly and offered the highest quality of service. We had a blast.

The catamaran was beautiful!!! And huge! It comfortably fit 13 of us. The food kept coming and coming and was delicious! The drinks offered were vast and top shelf. The snorkeling was great- saw lots of fish. The staff was kind and generous. Highly highly recommend this excursion!!! The other raving reviews were spot on.

Truly one of the best catamaran experience for young and not so young people.

Great time snorkeling. Saw a turtle, colorful fish. Crew were wonderful and very kind. Views were amazing!

Although you will want to, restrain yourself from asking for a 3rd (!) serving of the banana bread. ALL the food was amazing!! It was nonstop snacks (and drinks if you like), to enjoy alongside the fascinating narrative of the coast that the catamaran hugs as it makes its way north to the sea turtles area.Once we reached the spot, we were the first boat to arrive so the turtles were eager for our guide and the turtles swam among us. The snorkeling was fun and seeing these beautiful creatures up close was humbling. Note touching / harassing the turtles is against the law.Once we had our fill, the catamaran took us to a lunch spot where I wished we had time for second helpings. but the snorkeling awaited. The staff unleashed an inflatable lounger and independent operators approached the group for water sports (water skis, banana-boat trip, and the like) so bring cash to prepare. My family opted to enjoy the relaxing open swim instead.I did not expect the catamaran ride itself to be a highlight. I considered booking a 2nd trip for the next day because it was that relaxing and enjoyable! Never mind the turtles.Also, the small size of our tour group certainly enhanced the experience. If you are on the fence on whether paying up for small group is worth it, I assure you it is! Aside from the personalized attention the crew gave you, I note that there were not tens of turtles so if you have too many people in your group, you will be fighting to come close to one.In short, do book this trip when you are in Barbados. It was a highlight.Thank you so much to our crew for a memorable outing!!

This was our second trip on calabaza (the previous one being 7 years ago). From the moment we were picked up at our hotel by Adrian we felt in very safe hands. He was chatty and informative and started the day in a wonderful way. We met Ben who took us to the boat and he introduced us to the crew. We had 3 other families with us and the relaxed atmosphere ensured we gelled from the start and had a great rapport. We were fed and watered with excellent food throughout the morning and finished off with a delicious lunch. We stopped 3 times. Once to swim with turtles which was spectacular and the second to snorkel over a wreck and see some incredible fish and an octopus and stingrays. The last stop was great fun for the teenagers and adults alike, we were swimming and chatting and having a whale of a time. The crew know their stuff and are happy to talk about island life, the wildlife and are fun and upbeat. It was a memorable experience and one we highly recommend. Thank you as well for making my birthday such a special one.

Small group so not too crowded. Updated, modern boat and delicious food and drinks! Indefinitely recommend.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Captain Chad and his crew were so accommodating, we felt completely spoiled. Every need met. The food and beverage top notch. The boat was clean and well maintained. Safety was top priority. Oh, and the turtles were amazing. We can hardly wait to book it again.
