    Captain Stewy has clearly found his calling on the water, and guests consistently rave about how his genuine passion elevates every trip. He's praised for being hands-on in the best way possible—actually swimming alongside snorkelers to point out hidden marine life, taking time to ensure everyone feels comfortable with their equipment, and adapting each outing to his guests' pace and preferences. Families especially appreciate how attentive he is with kids and older adults, making sure everyone from toddlers to grandparents has a safe, memorable experience. The snorkeling sites themselves get glowing reviews, with the Christ of the Abyss statue and vibrant reefs full of nurse sharks, rays, and tropical fish creating those "swimming in an aquarium" moments. What really sets these trips apart is the personalized, intimate feel compared to crowded tour boats. Stewy's knowledge of the local ecosystem shines through on eco tours and snorkeling excursions alike, and guests love the little extras—great music playlists, special anniversary surprises, clean equipment that actually fits well, and his willingness to visit multiple spots when time allows. Whether it's a sunset cruise with dolphins or a full snorkeling adventure, people describe these outings as vacation highlights they'll remember for years. Repeat visitors say it all: they come back year after year because the whole family genuinely enjoys it.

    Captain Stewy was amazing! We did a private sunset cruise with him and it was oh, so much more. He’s so knowledgeable of the wildlife and the mangrove ecosystem and we learned so much! We were celebrating our anniversary and he even planned a special little surprise for us. Highest recommendation!
