We are a party of 3 adults looking for a snorkel trip. We want a boat with 20 or less passengers, lunch and open bar. The boat has to have a little bit of shade because my husband doesn't worship the sun like I do. We will be on the island December 7-14... thank you for the help.

Our two favorites are the Tranquilo and the Octopus. Both are smaller boats so it's not a huge crowd of people.

The Tranquilo is an all day sail and snorkel that includes drinks and lunch. There is decent shade and seating in the back by Captain Anthony. This is probably our favorite because we love the sailing part of the cruise as well as the snorkeling.

The Octopus has two shorter excursions - a morning one and an afternoon one. There is not much for shade on the Octopus but you're also not out on the boat as long either.
