Was an absolute blast going out. Brought us right to the turtles and even made sure we got to swim with a few. Then brought us to look at some fish. Overall great experience
Great experience!

Great snorkeling trip. Captain Ryan was a complete joy and did all he could to insure everyone had a great time. There were many sea turtles at the snorkeling spot and we were given ample time to swim with them. We also made a second stop to see tropical fish. Highly recommend!
Very nice short excursion

Great excursion for the value, swam with the turtles and was taken to a "bonus" snorkel spot. Captain Ryan was fun, pleasant, professional, and went the extra mile to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves.
Great excursion!

Best excursion and experience

So glad we booked this excursion. From start to finish, Ryan was an amazing captain. Before we even went in water he made sure he anchored where turtles were swimming. After snorkeling with the turtles he took us over to a reef to snorkel and there were fish everywhere. My wife who has been reluctant for years to go snorkeling loved it so much she can’t wait to do it again. I can’t recommend Bluefinn Charters end Ryan enough. They’ll take great care of you and ensure you have an experience of a lifetime.
Great day out

Fantastic trip, we arrived early with Ryan and Dre taking us straight out. They found us turtles straight away with us getting right up close and personal. Ended up just being the two of us on the boat. Managed to drop us off near our hotel on our way back. Would definitely recommend
Turtle-tastic!

Really really fun day with captain Ryan!
We saw a number of turtles and managed to get a very close look :) As a couple that doesn't go snorkelling that often, we found this really enjoyable, appreciating a beautiful coral reef as well. Really recommend this, one of our most enjoyable experiences during our holiday.

Blue Fin was the best charter we have ever been on and we have been on several around the oceans. We left on time, the Captain and deck mate was splendid.
The boat was stocked with plenty of drinks and gear. The vessel was very clean and well-maintained with twin Yamaha outboards. The crew was personable and fun. Great guys. They took us to swim with the turtles and got us right on them. After that, they took us to a reef to swim with Thousands of fish. The trip was absolutely perfect. They even dropped us off back at the cruise port. What else can you ask for? Just book the tour.

Best charter period! Only me and my wife booked and they didn’t cancel on us like others had. Super nice and knew everyone. Had so much fun!

We had the best time!!! Our captains told us all about the island as we made our way out! I would do it o er and o er again!
Great communication

We didn’t get to go on our tour due to the hurricane. However Bluefinn was very responsive and refunded our money.
Snorkeling, shells and sunset.
Laurie_S, 01-01-2023
When we registered from the states we had many questions. Bluefinn charters patiently answered all of our many many questions. The boat ride was very comfortable. They had the fins we needed for snorkeling on the reef. We saw many many tropical fish. We needed some help getting back in the boat and they were very accomodating. They also had cold drinks for us after being in the salt water. One person in our party really really loves shells and they made a special stop at a small jetty that had many amazing shells. Then we drove home in the sunset. I would use them again.
Do it!

Captain Ryan and Dre were great! Explained everything and made sure we saw turtles while on the boat and then again in the water. The water was so blue! They pointed out other islands, and had plenty of cold waters for everyone. They had the tunes cranking so we could enjoy music while riding on the boat to the turtles and back. Would definitely recommend. Had a fantastic time
Intimate wonderful experience - a must do!

We didn't get to go to Turtle Cay because the weather wasn't good, and the water was VERY choppy, but they took us to another spot where we could see them swimming in the water. Then we went to a reef to snorkel and it was AMAZING. This is a very small boat, not 50+ people like the other tourist companies, so they were VERY attentive and did their absolute best to help us have a great time regardless of the weather. I would book again with them in an instant and plan to do so before I leave.
A day to remember

What a fantastic adventure! Ryan and Trey were awesome and so polite! Took us to swim with turtles then to snorkel a reef. If you are a turtle lover, this is seriously a must! Ryan also does offshore fishing charters if you are looking into doing that. Highly recommend him!
+++Recommend. We had a wonderful time on this excursion.

The boat and dock are a little tricky to find, but the Blue Fin employees spotted us and all was well. Wonderful excursion, Captain Ryan was a pleasure. He knew exactly where to find the turtles and the reef was really cool too. Ryan was even kind enough to drop us off at the Atlantis marina, which was super fun experience and saved us the $20 taxi fare. We had a great time.
Amazing!

A must-see!! This experience was amazing! Captain Ryan was fantastic and ensured we were safe, comfortable, and having a good time. I would definitely go again! Well worth the money!
Loved this

We had so much fun with Ryan! Definitely our favorite part of the whole trip. We saw turtles and tons of fish!
Great experience, easy and fun

Great captain. It was only 6 of us and we had a great time. Waters were a little choppy but crew was amazing and we saw about 6 turtles. They also took us to a beautiful coral reef and we swam with a school of fish. No signs at the needing point but there was someone in a bluefin shirt waiting so that was good. Easy to find a taxi back to the hotel off the street. Taxis are like $15-20 for a 6 min drive.
We had a great tour (eventually)

The first time we attempted this tour is should never have been allowed to go ahead. The sea was way too rough, we didn’t even attempt to make it to Green Cay to see the turtles and ended up visiting a couple of snorkel spots which we didn’t feel comfortable enough to enter into due to the weather conditions.
HOWEVER
After chatting with the tour operator we were able to book onto a different day which they ensured us had better conditions because the first time was such a flop. The second tour we did was the complete opposite of the first. We got over the the turtles no problem and was able to snorkel for a good half an hour with a number of turtles. We then went to a beautiful reef spot for more snorkelling with some reef fish. The captains were lovely and made sure we had a really good time after our initial bad experience, even though it was not at all their fault in the first place.
Would recommend this tour but make sure you go on a good day! Check in advance that the weather is going to be suitable out at sea so you aren’t disappointed.
