Great excursion. Well worth the cost. - The crew is great. Very fun and engaging. You never go without anything. They make sure of that. The captain has a great sense of humor but keeps his focus on safety throughout the trip. We encountered a lot of rain on our trip but it didn’t affect the experience one bit. I’d do this again for sure. You won’t be disappointed. The snorkeling was fantastic and the beach at Anguilla was spectacular. You should do this. Do not hesitate.

Lambada Catamaran a Great Day Trip - The Lambada Catamaran was an awesome experience and full day trip out to Prickly Pear and Anguilla. Unfortunately we were not able to land at Prickly Pear, do to high winds. However, we made up for it with two stops on Anguilla. The first a snorkeling stop and the second stop was at Rendezvous Beach. The crew were very hospitable (Thanks Captain Preston). The food was delightful, as well as the cold beverages.

A little lack lustre - Nice boat and crew Disappointed we were unable to stop at prickly pear reef due to sea conditions, as that was the main reason for booking this trip but understood for safety reasons. Instead we had 2 stops, one at shoal bay and the other at rendezvous bay which was ok but lack lustre for snorkelling. Surprised at the crew who were so sea safety conscious that this did not translate into the catamaran itself. The crew allowed 2 women with 2 young children who had no restraints to be at the prow of the catamaran on the unstable netting and continued to serve the women large quantities of alcoholic drinks for the whole voyage with no worries for the children’s safety.

Mediocre Cruise - The bar’s offerings were not as tropical as expected e.g. pina colada, vodka drinks, etc. Music was too loud. They begrudgingly turned it down a bit when I asked but then turned it back up. For the price, the food offerings were also limited. No dessert, not even fruit, was offered. The staff was moderately friendly but not go out of the way to make the guests happy.

Disappointed - The company canceled this trip one day before the event, due to not enough people signed up. They offered us an alternative trip to go around Saint Martin, but we were not interested. We did receive the full refund. If you don’t want to be very disappointed, I would recommend to make sure they have enough people signed up before making a reservation.
