RhondaC Posted June 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Does anyone know if Neville still takes people out snorkeling from the Boatyard? We did this a couple of years ago and loved it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurrSusan Posted June 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) He sure does! We went out with him in April (2015) & had a great time :) Edited June 16, 2015 by PurrSusan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lis106 Posted June 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is there a way to contact him and set up a time to go out or do you just show up at the boatyard and look for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhondaC Posted June 17, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is there a way to contact him and set up a time to go out or do you just show up at the boatyard and look for him? You just show up and you'll see him near the beach. You can always ask one of the guys on the beach and they'll point him out. That's what we did. Try to find him early (9am) to get on his first trip. That way you'll beat the big boats out there and the water will still be clear and you won't be tripping over a hundred other people. Enjoy his homemade rum punch on the way back! Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurrSusan Posted June 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2015 You will see a younger guy (Neville) carrying a sign that says Neville & Mitchell. Let Mitchell know that you want to go out with Neville. He'll let you know when the boat is ready to go. I agree with Rhonda C--try to go on the first trip out. The turtles are really hungry then :) My DH loved the rum punch too!

QTPieRye Posted June 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Gorgeous pics of the turtles! Couple of questions ~ how much was the cost of the taxi from the port to/from the Boatyard? How much does it cost to get in? I read $15.00 per adult which included a drink coupon, umbrella and use of beach and how much was it to swim with the turtles using Neville? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTPieRye Posted June 21, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've also read online that the fee is $20.00, but that you get that credited towards your food and drink purchases. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letscruisegd Posted June 21, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2015 ...how much was the cost of the taxi from the port to/from the Boatyard? How much does it cost to get in? I read $15.00 per adult which included a drink coupon, umbrella and use of beach... I was there in October and the cost was $15. It included 1 drink, beach chairs, an umbrella and transportation back to the ship. I'm not positive about the taxi from the ship to the Boatyard but I think it may have been $5. I'm pretty sure it was no more than $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurrSusan Posted June 21, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2015 QTPieRye: The taxi ride to the Boatyard was $5pp this past April. Be aware that the taxi drivers will try to talk you out of going to the Boatyard but they will drop you off there if you insist. The fee to enter the Boatyard was $15pp. They give you a wristband that has a tear-off tag good for a free drink. Your fee also covers a lounge chair, a shared umbrella, water toys and a ride back to the ship. The fee to swim with the turtles with Neville was $15pp. We had a great time! Note: We got there when they first opened (9am)--got great seats & we were on the first trip out with Neville. Here's a few of my Boatyard shots to show you what you'll be looking at :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see a bunch of guys hanging around under this sign (see photo) trying to get people to sign up for the turtle swim. This is where we found Mitchell with his Neville sign (on the beach)--hope this helps! Edited June 21, 2015 by PurrSusan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurrSusan Posted June 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The price to go out with Neville was $20pp not $15 (the Boatyard IS $15pp). Sorry--didn't mean to mislead anybody. It was definitely worth it to us :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
