Booking Fat Cat

Is it usually best to book Fat Cat ahead of time and directly through them?

Why not book them through us? It doesn't cost any more and then you have a liaison between you and the crew--let us handle the phone calls/emails/questions/work. Plus, then you get to help support Playa.info, which is a free site.

Definitely book through these guys, we've used them for airport transfers and they are the best! We now get the same driver, he knows us, we know him and it is GREAT! Couldn't book with a better place!

The Fat Cat is a blast!! We've done 5 of them!! And yes... Heather is THE way to go for bookings and other helpful info as well. She'll even come to the beach and apply sunblock to your back if you ask her really nice...

We are booked through Playa.info! Can't wait. Nerak, do you use the snorkel equipment provided or do you bring yours? We have our own but didn't know if it would be a hassle to bring our with us on the boat.

If it's the only time you'll be snorkeling on your trip, I'd say not to bother bringing your own. Or... best would be to bring your own mask and snorkel and use the Fat Cat's fins. Our fins are large and heavy. But we snorkel a lot on our trips so it's worth it to us to bring them.

Have fun!!! (Great rummmmm punch on the Fat Cat!)

The Fat Cat is my favorite catamaran trip in the area. There is a great vibe on that boat. And the rum punch is so delicious.

If I'm going to be doing any snorkeling at all, I always bring own my mask and snorkel. They don't weigh much and really don't take up much room but I know the mask doesn't leak and I have a dry top snorkel to use. Much better quality than what's provided on boat trips, that's been used by who knows how many people. I do however, use their fins as they do take up too much room.

Hmmmm.....everyone keeps talking about this rum punch. I usually stick to beer but may have to give this stuff a try!

Good points. I think we will take ours.

And not a bad place for a wedding, I've heard...

Maybe I'll try that myself someday.

In 2025 or thereabouts ...

We've been engaged since July 21, 2002.

Don't hold your breath, Thor!
