Catamaran Half Day Cruise

December 29, 2011 By Angie Leave a Comment

The Cat

This was the best catamaran cruise we have ever been on. We were picked up at the Frenchman’s Reef Marriott dock and whisked away to Buck Island’s Turtle Cove on an adventure we’ll never forget.

Captain Joe, Grady and Connor were awesome.  You can tell they ALL have a passion for what they do.  Who wouldn’t be when you get to spend your days on the beautiful waters of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands?

The cruise started out with safety instructions and then once we arrived at our destination, they went over snorkeling safety (snorkel equipment provided if you don’t have your own), tips on swimming with the sea turtles, etc.  The cruise over to the island was enjoyable.

I cannot tell you how awesome it was to be able to snorkel with sea turtles in their environment.  There were about 10 sea turtles that we saw and of course other beautiful sea creatures and coral too.  Snorkeling is our favorite Caribbean activity so this was definitely a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.

The thing that really stood out the most to me about the catamaran cruise was that they didn’t serve alcohol on the boat until AFTER you were finished snorkeling. Up until then it was nice cold water. Very smart!

On the way back to the resort, they served up a specialty drink and set out tortilla chips, carrots and hummus too.  Lots of fun music to enjoy the entire time as well.

The crew, Joe, Grady and Connor were very attentive, humorous and FUN and I would highly recommend you hook up with The Cat and set sail with them when you are in St. Thomas.

We met Jim, the owner of the catamaran at Marriott’s grand reopening celebration.  What a cool guy!  He should be really proud of these guys.

The Cat has a variety of tours available:

  • Snorkeling
  • Weddings
  • Receptions
  • Anniversaries
  • Birthdays
  • Sunset sail

and more!

Be sure to check them out next time you are in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

Instagram post 2191130946844397331_1417576950 We pretty much stayed off social last week while away visiting my family for Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone including 3 adorable babies we hadn’t met yet, one just about 3 weeks old 🍼. We stayed at the @bestwestern plus in Brazil, Indiana. We are truly impressed with this brand. Good customer service and nice hotels 🏨 👍 #hotelstay #hotelstays #bestwesternhotel #bestwesternplus #brazilindiana #hotelreview #roadtrip #familyroadtrips #travelgram #mytravelgram #mytravelgrams #travelblogger #lifestyleblogger #familyblogger
Instagram post 2185195540428749605_1417576950 Looking back at that time we won the @marriotthotels beach blogger trip to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. It was SO awesome. We did a lot while we were there but one of the things that stands out to me the most was our swim with Omar, the sea lion at Coral World Ocean Park @coralworldvi. We got to touch, dance and play games with Omar and I LOVED every minute of it. The Sea Lion Swim experience is something I’ll never forget. We would love to return to St. Thomas and St. John one day💕. @usvihta #usvi #stthomas #tourism #coralworld #coralworldstthomas #usvihta #usvirginislands #virginislands #sealionswim #travelblogger #travelbloggerlife #travelphotos #travelpics #travelgoals #neverstopexploring
Instagram post 2183876942477378337_1417576950 Today we celebrated our son and daughter in law’s birthdays with a fun day out with them & our grandson Hunter. The escape room was a big hit. Kev and I had never been to one but Tyler and Tiffany go a lot. We definitely would not have been able to do it without them and a couple clues😉 we highly recommend 60 to Escape in Gurnee Mills Mall, Gurnee IL. We would definitely go back. Have you ever been to an escape room? #escaperoom #escaperooms #60toescape

Instagram post 2154005443281139170_1417576950 Back from an overnight in Centralia, IL where we went for a family reunion. We stayed in a suite at the @bestwestern Plus hotel and it was great. Two years old, so clean and the room was REALLY nice (clean, beautiful decor, large bathroom, living room space, friendly staff plus cookies at the front desk). There was a pool & fitness room and a nice breakfast offering. Very impressed. Would highly recommend @bestwestern plus #hotel #hotelroom #hotelstay #hotelstays ##centraliaillinois #bestwesternhotel #bestwesternplus #hotelroomtour #hotelroomreview #hotelreview #mytravelgram #roadtrip #familyroadtrips #travelgram #mytravelgram #mytravelgrams #travelblogger ##lifestyleblogger #familyblogger
Instagram post 2151737059734512104_1417576950 This past weekend was our last camping ‘trip’ of the year I think. It was chilly and rainy. But as usual we made the best of it. I have lots of blog posts to write about our camping shenanigans this year 😋 we learned a lot, bought a TON of camping gear & accessories and had a blast. Kev is now in search of a very cool inflatable tent. It’s only $1,000 😂 We have seen it anywhere from $600-$1000 but only in the UK so far. Maybe @campingworld @colemanusa has tips on finding the Coleman 6 Man Fastpitch Air Valdes tent XL😉 Do you love camping? Where is your favorite place to go camping?

I have so many camping blog posts to write😉 we stayed pretty dry during the rain this weekend but it was chilly. First time with the tarp, but could do better.
