cmccmccmc Posted September 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2010 hope someone can help, about 6 years ago I found this company on the message boards but can not seem to find them again. they were running a similar tour to the cruise line one, cat tour with snorkeling with the turtles and a ship wreck, lunch and drinks, BUT with one major difference , there were about 10 of us on a catamaran not 50. we had a great time and were hoping to take the kids this year. any help would be greatly appreciated.

pokergirl34 Posted September 12, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I hope someone has the answer; that sounds great. We went on a cat tour in St Thomas with 30 people and it was very crowded in the water. People don't pay attention very well and ram into each other. I'd love to go on on w/ only 10 guests.

JH1002 Posted September 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Try Silvermoon, Calebaza or Shasa. All super and all have trips with 12 or less. Book early, I'ver been trying to get one for November and I started 2 months ago. Good Luck and Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmccmccmc Posted September 13, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted September 13, 2010 thanks for the reply, hopefully I will be lucky and find a spot. I have very fond memories of their homemade mac and cheese and the captain that looked like a young Johnny Depp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grgsgrl Posted September 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2010 We just got back from the Victory and booked with Calabayza sailing - Have to tell you that you will NEVER go with another tour if you use them. They are amazing. Gina and her crew are right on top of the drinks, lunch and fun times. They are on the web at Calabayza sailing.com. We are actually planning a trip for 4 days to Barbados next year and they are part of the tour. The extra bonus was that there was only 12 of us and that was that was the max she would take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to their website-or type in Silvermoon cat--you will love it ! DEL I think that it is $150 pp but worth every penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calabaza is the way to go only 12 max. on a beautiful cat yacht. First class all the way. All food & drinks included. Snorkel with the turtles then to a wreck. $100 p/p but well worth it.

We just got back from the Serenade and did this tour in Barbados and it was the highlight of our cruise. Calabaza is the BEST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amistad Posted October 7, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Did you feel that Calabaza had enough room for everyone that wanted to be in the shade? What time did the tour start and end? Did you have time after you were dropped off to do a little shopping close to the ship? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncsteeler Posted October 7, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Did you feel that Calabaza had enough room for everyone that wanted to be in the shade? What time did the tour start and end? Did you have time after you were dropped off to do a little shopping close to the ship? thanks I would say there was room for nearly everyone to be in the shade if they wanted. My wife and I are pretty pale and tend to search for shade everywhere we go in the islands , we had no trouble on this boat. There is a large sun tarp over the main seating area and there is about half of the front of the boat in shade most of the day. The sun lovers were all out on the net. I believe it started at 9:30 and went till 3:30 or so, had about an hour to shop on the pier. The folks selling stuff at he pier didn't seem willing to deal and the prices were not high, but not super deals either. My wife offered one woman $21 for a wooden turtle marked $26, she said no immediately without any counter offer. I did hear from others that didn't do a tour that the shopping out in town was much cheaper than the pier(as is true most of the ports). You go through town on the way back from Calabaza so maybe they could let you off to shop in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amistad Posted October 7, 2010 #13 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply, I am torn between the Catamaran companies, they all seem to get great reviews. We don't want to shop much, just pick up some t-shirts since we have never been to Barbados before. There are going to be 4 adults and a 4 yr. old so I wanted to make sure we will be comfortable. I appreciate all the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
