I always suggest Wayward Sailor with Captain Phil Chalker out of Cruz Bay

White Wing out of Coral Bay always gets good reviews as well.

White Wing isn't sailing much these days, I've heard...

We enjoyed sailing out of Coral Bay with Rick and Robin Gallup on Long Distance:

Koen:

Long Distance mono hull out of Coral Bay is really nice. Captain Phil "Wayward Sailor" out of Cruz Bay mono hull is also good. . .his snorkel trip is especially nice if you want to learn how to snorkel.

If you are experienced snorkelers, you would enjoy the half day mangrove snorkeling trip offered by Serena Sea out of Coral Bay. Serena Sea is a beautiful old wooden powered picnic yacht.

Over the years, we've been on all of these and had great days. None are what we would call wild party boats.

Sadie Sea is a nice, larger power boat. We've never been on their night snorkel.

If you are comfortable in the water and good snorkelers, you might consider becoming familiar with an area during the day and do night snorkeling on your own. We go with a couple of $30 dive lights, and we leave a light on the beach. I would not recommend this for novice snorkelers, and you must be very familiar with the area. Stay within your individual limits.

Have a great trip!
