Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow! Captain Judi, Ashley, and Brodie will make your St. Thomas snorkeling adventure a success. We started out at Buck Island in some really rough water but the crew was dedicated to our safety and making sure everyone had a great time. We skipped the shipwreck in favor of calmer waters where everyone could dip their toes in the pristine Caribbean seas at a local deserted beach. After all the fun in the water the rum punch and snacks were a great way to celebrate on the way back to port. We booked this as a Princess excursion and were 100% satisfied and delighted. Don’t miss this fabulous trip on the Castaway Girl 4!

Spent an afternoon with Captain Judi, Ashley and Brody on a beautiful sunny day in St. Thomas. They all worked very hard to ensure we had a fun and safe snorkeling adventure. 2 stops, not the ones advertised but just as nice because weather was iffy at the original places. It was a delightful trip and I will definitely do it again when next in town.

Our large group had a great day ! We brought food on board, and rum punch as well as soft drinks were provided. Our crew was so much fun! Shout out to Jen, Gigi, and Rosi, who ensured a safe and fun time. We snorkeled in two locations and saw turtles and tons of fish. The music was good, the views were awesome. Such a nice time.

We had a great day aboard Castaway4 with Captain Judi, Reed & Ashley. Let me just be real, we have been on a cruise ship for a week with people who REALLY require a LOT of patience. A lot of these same people were on our trip today and this crew dealt with it with way more patience than I have. They did an amazing job. Reed was an awesome snorkeling guide. Ashley & Judi did a great job making sure everyone had a fun & safe experience. St Thomas is a beautiful island. Our second time visiting and we can’t wait to come back.

Great time snorkeling in the VI. Captain Jen, Rosie, and Gigi were the best. Would recommend if you’re stopping through on a cruise or vacation.

Captain Jen, Gigi and Rosii were the best crew! We were a group of ~30 women on a Sunday afternoon ride in St. Thomas.
This female crew took great care of us!

First of all, while they call it a ‘Sail and Snorkel’ the whole trip was made under motor power. So, you are better off taking a motor cat because they have more room and better seating. Secondly, the crew was rude, condescending, and apathetic. Michael, Alex, and JC seem jaded and need to find a different career. I’ve been on many of these boat and snorkel trips in the last couple years and this was by far the worst experience. For the high price, the fact we had to stand in line in the sun, and the overall experience, I highly recommend checking out other places.

Snorkeling was great, crew and captain Judi were very professional and made sure we had the best safe experience. The Rum punch hit the spot after snorkeling

We have been on a couple of trips with this company before, and they didn’t disappoint. We were on Castaway 4 with Captain Judi, Brodie and Reed. Clean catamaran with comprehensive briefing, lots of laughs, turtles and fish. And a shark for good measure (see the pics). Highly recommend and will use them again when we are next back this way.

2 site snorkel for turtles and shipwreck
