Highly recommend - Snorkeling on reef next to bird island was incredible. We saw so many beautiful fish and coral Our captain was very nice and took time to share the history and landmarks around the island

A great time and able to help in a pinch! - We can't say enough good things about Salt Life Tours! My wife and I were in Antigua to celebrate our 9-year anniversary. We had a 6-hour charter booked for months with another company, but they cancelled at the last minute. I was able to get connected to Kareem - and explained the cancellation and what we had planned. His response was "it will be be honor to help you on your special day." He was able to take us out with less than 1-day notice. We reached out around 1pm Tuesday and were on the water by 9:30am Wednesday. There was tons of room on the boat. Our captain, Rambo, took us to all the places we were hoping to see, and other stops too. He provided snacks, excellent Rum Punch, and a terrific time. We are looking forward to booking with Salt Life Tours again!

Awesome day on luxury catamaran - It was a luxury catamaran and so excited to go sailing in Antigua for the day. Our skipper Dexter was highly experienced and the lunch by Kareem amazing. Don't miss this. The highlight of the holiday for sure

The Black Sparrow Rocks - We had a great trip, caught 2 Barracudas and a Jack Fish. Kareem and Odonis are the best. They even cleaned the fish and helped us cook it. We liked it so much we invited them to have dinner with us as we charbroiled the barracuda and poached the jack fish. Amazing tour of the island and Kareem's jerk chicken is amazing. Highly recommend!

Highlight of our trip! - We had such an amazing day out with Kareem on his boat, it was a beautiful way to see Antigua and explore some of its surrounding islands - he made every effort to tailor the day around what we wanted to do and see - we snorkelled, ate fresh lobster on a deserted island, drank rum punch and all in all had a fantastic day. Would 100% recommend. Thanks Kareem!

Not the safest adventure. - Kareem has a huge heart and is a wonderful person. However this experience was not good. Our ship was late getting to the port which he was aware of and accommodated us. He was not prepared with equipment for the day, gas, food or beverages. Our trip to the boat was supposed to be 20 minutes. It is actually 45, then the driver without asking took us to a stop past our destination wasting what time we had. When we arrived Kareem was not there. It took another 20 minutes for him to arrive and get things ready. We have been boaters for 20+ years. His boat should not be on the water. There was a hole in the bow. There is no ladder to get into the boat after snorkeling. We are all in good shape and it was a challenge for us. The pedestal chair my husband was sitting in detached from the floor and luckily he wasn't hurt in the fall. The spear fishing was fun but he didn't cook it for us as he stated he would. We had a good couple hours but just not what we had expected for the cost.

Disaster - Owner is really nice but as someone who has run boats since I was 10 years old I can clearly say this boat is simply unsafe for commercial charter. We saw no lifejackets, the boat is literally falling apart. Was supposed to be a snorkeling trip for 5 people but they only had 1 pair of fins. We only went out for less than 1 hour because none of us felt safe onboard. No way to get back in the boat except via a rusty metal step. Large hole in the floor was partially covered by plywood. Gas cans laying around the boat. No lunch provided but we didn’t stay long enough anyway. Any 5 star reviews are clearly fake profiles. Trip Advisor should immediately suspend this excursion for safety reasons if for no other reasons.

DO NOT BOOK!! UNSAFE AND NOTHING LIKE DESCRIBED!! TRUE RIP OFF! - THIS BOAT CHARTER SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ALLOWED TO RUN! I cannot believe we were charged for this trip!!! Trip was to include lunch, which was not provided. We were given some warm run punch and beer. The boat was disgusting and unsafe. We cannot believe Trip Advisor or Viatoir would allow people to even consider, let alone book this charter. This boat looks nothing like what's in the picture. The entire experience was horrible! This boat should not be allowed for tourists to use.

Not a legit business - Really nice guy. But it’s not a legit company. Can’t figure out how anyone gives this 5 stars. Photos are deceptive. The green boat has no seats, no cover and in our case wouldn’t start. Kareem said he didn’t receive our booking so after picking us up an hour late stopped all over town getting supplies and smoking pot. When we got to the boat two hours late the boat would not start. He did refund our money and took us on a different boat for a couple hours … see photos. And he did give us lunch. Again real nice guy but not a legit business.
