Reggae Catamaran and Snorkeling Open Bar Cruise Montego Bay

1.Reggae Catamaran and Snorkeling Open Bar Cruise Montego Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 453 reviews · from $125Our pick

Cruise Jamaica’s north coast from Montego Bay, snorkel near Doctor’s Cave Beach, then enjoy reggae, a DJ, Jamaican-style snacks, and an open bar. Hotel pickup is offered, but this is a lively party boat rather than a quiet sightseeing cruise. Bring sunscreen, a towel, and a change of clothes.

“The cruise is full of fun. The driver who picked us up from the hotel is extremely patient and friendly. There are a few guests who came out of their hotel room late, he spent extra time waiting for them and make sure everyone get on the cruise.”

Montego Bay: Reggae Family Catamaran Cruise with Snorkeling

10.Reggae Family Catamaran Cruise with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 9 reviews · 3 hours · from $125

Cruise Jamaica’s north coast on a family-friendly catamaran with hotel pickup, onboard drinks, fruit, pastries, appetizers, reggae music, and a Marine Park snorkeling stop. You’ll also visit Margaritaville for optional water activities, though that stop can vary by schedule.

“I enjoyed this trip. The boat was big (although it held 122 and we only had 22 on the day) and clean. The snorkeling was amazing and the boat had a slide off the back which is great for kids. Staff were great, really friendly. The reason for the Average rating instead of Good is that the booking says you stop at Margaritaville with water trampolines which didn't happen, not sure why”
