I have been on the Fun Cat almost every year in the last 10 or 12 years. In my experience, they don’t serve the drinks until the late afternoon, after every one is done swimming, etc. There were lot’s of non-alcoholic drinks available, too. Over the years they have taken me to numerous different snorkeling locations, always great with loads of fish to see. One time I went with friends, and the weather turned rainy and I got bummed, thinking my friends would have a bad first snorkel experience, but the Captain Greg just navigated to a different spot where he said the water wouldn’t get that stirred up (like a cove or something) and he was right! He claimed the other boats would follow him (says he has been doing these trips the longest) and in fact the locals and charters followed less than 30 minutes later. Disclaimer: I haven’t tried any other snorkel or boat trip on that side of the island, I have nothing to compare this company to.

Funcat was AWESOME!!!
We spent the Labor Day Weekend in Puerto Rico and had the good fortune to get seats with Capt Greg on the Fun Cat. It was as you described it in your review only better! My wife is terrified of the water and only went along after much coaxing. At the first stop we watched the snorkling lesson and then practiced in the shallow water of the Island. My wife and another non-swimmer received extra attention from the crew and actually learned to do it!!!
The water and reef were beautiful at the 2nd stop and my wife floated hanging onto a float, seeing the many colorful fish.
The rum/dance party on the sail back was fun, except I might have enjoyed it too much (wife’s words). A local lady was showing me how to do the salsa dance. Thank you for the recommendation!

Diane, sorry you had a bad experience. I guess some times things don’t always work out. Our review was our experience, one random day. We have no control over the day to day running of the FunCat nor their company.
As for price, I know all the snorkel boats charge about the same price, give or take 5-10 bucks.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THE “FUNCAT”!
We booked a day sail/snorkel. We were directed to the marina and when we arrived we found that it was at some other boat. They new nothing about taking us on their sail, so directed us back to where the fun cat was docked. After calling the “FUNCAT” to find out what was going on, we were told to go back to the first place and that we would be sailing with them. Apparently, the FUNCAT was not going out, but we would be with another sail company. After/during our sail, I discovered that we paid $25.00 more to go on the FUNCAT then what the other boat charged. I called and asked why that was, and was told that they just acted as a broker, that it was like booking a flight on an airplane. Well, sorry….BAD business principles. I did not get a refund
and would NEVER use or recommend them to anyone!
Really disappointed in your review, as that is why we went with them.
