Wadadli Cats: Catamaran Cruises Around Antigua

What the reviews show

Wadadli Cats has a 4.3 rating from 124 Google reviews. The public feedback centres on organised catamaran excursions departing from Saint John's and travelling along Antigua's coast. Reviewers repeatedly describe the crew as welcoming, attentive and energetic, with several staff members praised by name, including Captain Sheldon, Joshua, Vaughn, Chad, Sano, Jamell, Shaquille, RJ and Marke.

The strongest pattern is the atmosphere onboard. Guests describe crews who keep the trip moving, explain the places passed along the coast and make an effort to involve the group. One review noted a small excursion of about ten guests, which helped people get to know one another. That suggests Wadadli Cats can suit travellers who prefer a social boat outing rather than a private, quiet charter.

Cruises and activities

The full-day circumnavigation tour receives particularly enthusiastic feedback. Reviews describe a route around Antigua with coastal views and commentary about the island's history and notable places. The itinerary also includes snorkelling, a beach stop, a buffet-style lunch and an open bar, according to the public descriptions.

Shorter excursions focus on snorkelling and swimming at a beach. Guests mention being taken to a reef before having time to swim and walk on the sand. The water activities are not only for committed snorkellers. One reviewer said a partner enjoyed the snorkelling while the reviewer preferred the wider experience and beach setting.

The trips appear to combine sightseeing with an easygoing day at sea. Guests can watch the coastline from the boat, join the water activities or spend time at the beach. The reviews do not establish the exact duration or schedule of every excursion, so travellers should confirm the itinerary when booking.

Food, drinks and service

Refreshments are a recurring part of the experience. Reviews mention tuna or chicken sandwiches on one outing, a Caribbean buffet-style lunch on the circumnavigation cruise, and rum punch alongside non-alcoholic drinks. Another excursion used a “champagne and pineapple” theme while offering a wider selection of drinks.

The service receives more consistent praise than any individual food item. Reviewers say the crew went above and beyond, created a fun mood and remained helpful during the beach and snorkelling portions. The range of drinks appears suitable for mixed groups, including guests who do not drink alcohol.

Who should book

Wadadli Cats is best suited to visitors who want a guided coastal overview of Antigua with time in the water. Couples, cruise passengers and small groups are all represented in the reviews. The experience also works for travellers with mixed interests, since one person can snorkel while another focuses on the scenery, beach or onboard socialising.

The main consideration is that this is a shared excursion built around a lively crew and scheduled activities. Travellers seeking complete privacy or a highly flexible route should check whether a particular sailing matches that preference. For a broad introduction to Antigua by sea, the public feedback is notably strong.
