I have read all the other reviews, and the comments about Captain Randy's attitude, I thought that I could overlook it and give it a chance...I WAS WRONG! We arrived for our day on his boat, and within 30 seconds he was barking orders. "SHOES IN THE BAG", "GET ON AND FIND A SEAT", etc... It was not a warm... More

We booked this excursion through Island Marketing and wasn't able to find any reviews at the time. We did the full day and had some concerns about how crowded the boat would be. We were told they take a maximum of 26 but that even full there was plenty of room. We ended up with with about 10-12 on board... More

Shore Trips must change the description of this excursion. The "yacht" is a small sailboat. There was hardly room for 2 crew and 4 passengers. Captain Randy was arrogant and condescending when we asked questions about the area. He told us we should have studied the geography before we visited his country. He also told us that they don't like... More

Dear Susan, Thank you for your review. That's great that our food was excellent and that you enjoyed our beach, and Travis for your crew! I'm sorry our sailboat was not what you were expecting, since the term 'yacht' can actually apply to any recreational boat of a certain size, but I do understand that perhaps you had one of... More

Just returned from a great day trip with Barefoot Sailing Cruises~ The Captain and his first mate Johnny were more than generous and very friendly. Lunch was on-board and it was grilled ribs/chicken..delicious. We were picked up that morning from Atllantis and the day could not have been better! More

We were looking for a quiet, relaxing experience away from all of the touristy activities and this was by far the most memorable experience we had! The sailing itself was so relaxing, without the sound of a motor, we just listened to the water crashing against the boat. It was a small group and there was plenty of room for... More

That's wonderful to hear that you had a great day out - thank you so much for writing! We agree, sailing is amazing, that's why we do it! And once you get out to a quiet beach on Rose Island, you really don't want to come back!!! Lots of people might think our full day cruise (6 hrs.) is too... More

Chartered the 56 ft.sailboat for the afternoon with my wife and Capt Randy and one crew member. I found Capt Randy...funny and entertaining. While his demeanor is a bit crisp...he was informative and very open to conversation. But is HE IS VERY PARTICULAR about his boat. I have my own sailboat at home...and I understand his O C regarding his... More

My wife and I took the all day trip to Rose Island during our trip the first week of September and the cost was $115 per person. We had not read the reviews on TripAdvisor but had read a couple of other reviews. No information was provided about what to bring but since we have sailed on other trips in... More

This was our third trip with Barefoot Sailing. We found them last year while vacationing in Nassau and we sailed with them twice during that visit. We had four teenagers with us and the kids were given the option of another day at Atlantis or going back out on the boat and they all four chose the sailboat! This year... More

The "All Day Island Cruise" would have been great with a different captain. Within the first 5 minutes of arriving at the sailboat, all guests (approx. 10 or us--strangers until that morning) were all looking at each other and wondering how we were going to spend a whole day with this absolute, pardon me, a-hole. When "Captain Randy" arrived at... More
