Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: El Tigre Catamaran Sailing Cruises, Bridgetown Barbados
After hotel pickup, head to the marina in Bridgetown to board your catamaran, El Tigre, a 60-foot-long (18-meter) and 24-foot-wide (7-meter) schooner that’s big enough to carry 50 passengers but is limited to 36 per cruise to provide more space. The boat offers both shady and uncovered areas so you can choose to sit wherever you’ll be more comfortable.
Pull out of the marina and head along the west coast of Barbados, enjoying the sea breeze on your face and admiring the picturesque coastline. While you sail, just relax, sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of juice, rum punch or beer, and enjoy a slice of coconut bread.
Stop At: Barbados, Barbados
Make your way to your first snorkeling spot, where you should be able to see sea turtles. Spend 45 minutes snorkeling, and then hop back on board the boat to sail to your second snorkeling location, a shipwreck that has become a habitat for many tropical fish. You have another 45 minutes to snorkel here.
If you choose the 3-hour option, you’ll then be dropped off at a west coast beach, where your cruise ends. Your transportation will be waiting for you at this beach to return to your hotel.
If you select the 5-hour option, continue along the west coast to a third location, where you’ll stop to enjoy lunch onboard the boat. Then hop in the water to cool off, swimming up to the nearby beach, if you wish, for a stroll along the sand. Back on board, enjoy a cocktail and listen to soca — a style of Caribbean calypso music — while the boat returns you to the marina in Bridgetown, where your cruise ends.
Unlimited drinks (soda, beer and rum punch) are provided on both cruise options.

We saw some turtles but they were deep down on the ocean floor. We enjoyed snorkeling over the shipwrecks.

Summary: does everything it says it would, some harsh discussion let it down.
Pickup provided was smooth and simple.
Explanation of trip was perfect and clear.
Turtle spot was disappointing, we did see them but they were few and far between (its a spot a huge amount of boats go to so likely scares them away)but that isnt their fault at all.
Shipwrecks were great, would have liked more info about them but besides that all good.
Food and drink provided was all great too no concerns there.
A woman was feeling ill and wanted to swim off when we were close to the shore and the captain was very aggressive about telling her he wouldnt do it. I presume its due to liability concerns if she didn’t make it to the shore or perhaps even if she did which is completely understandable, but the way he spoke to her did seem quite harsh.

Really well organised trip, staff were friendly and interactive, made us feel very at ease. Chris, helped a family member who was struggling to breathe when in the water, he jumped straight in when he noticed and possibly saved their life, very calm and collected. I would definitely recommend this tour for fun and safety, thank you el tigre.

The staff was excellent. Unfortunately the vessel was too small for the amount of individuals that participated. Too many people in the snorkeling group. I felt that this was an unsafe environment because people could possibly be kicked in the face due to the close proximity of snorkelers. Again though, the staff was very good and kind.

This was an amazing trip and worth the money. We did the 5 hour cruise. Staff was very attentive, snorkling was amazing and the food was just as good. I would definitely do this again. We saw lots of fish, turtles , coral and some stingrays.
