Our outing with Captain Dennis was the highlight of our week in Treasure Beach. We opted out of going to Pelican Bar and spent the entire time (about 4.5 hours) on the beach at his private cove. He has a great setup with hammocks, picnic tables, benches and and a swing in the water and tethered floating tubes. The food was the best we had all week. On the day we were there we had crab appetizer, lobster, silver snapper, rice and peas and a bean dish. All fresh and perfectly cooked.

Captain Dennis' crew provided impressive service. They were SO proactive about everything and anticipated your needs. They even waded out into the sea to take drink orders and deliver them to you.

Captain Dennis himself is a special person. His passion for the Treasure Beach area was very apparent. He is interesting to talk to and a very smart entrepreneur. I think it is very telling that he doesn't consider us "tourists" rather "visitors". If you are anywhere close to Treasure Beach (even Negril or farther) it is worth the trip.

Captain Dennis (aka Shabba) is a caring, warm host. He excels as a guide of his beloved Treasure Beach - best tour guide I have ever hired. Very professional, made sure our day was fantastic. My friend and I took his tour of the Black River, followed by a visit to the Pelican Bar, and a visit to a private, water access beach where he and his team served a lovely lunch of crab and lobster. On our adventure, we saw several crocs, dolphins, beautiful birds. The day was the highlight of our visit to Treasure Beach (a beautiful part of Jamaica, btw). He is an experienced seaman. We felt very safe, even with some big swells on our way back to our hotel. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing day! "The Word Is Love". Thank you Captain Dennis

The best trip, with fantastic food on the private beach and Captain Dennis is a fantastic host.
If you do one thing in Treasure Beach make it this.
The dolphins were a bonus. I have never seen them so close up and they are truly beautiful.

Great day out on our Jamaican holiday. Short trip to Pelican Bar, which was very quirky. This was followed by chill out time on a deserted beach with delicious food and drinks. The crab starter was amazing, followed by fresh fish, lobster and the tastiest rice n peas.
Highlight of the trip was seeing the gorgeous dolphins, swimming so close to the boat you could almost touch them. Dennis was a fantastic host. A big shout out to his team too!

Put on your hat and sunscreen and get ready for an amazing afternoon. Captain Dennis takes you and your guests on an unforgetable ride. First stop is Pelican Bar for a cocktail and to have your name carved into the wood, next to Captain Dennis's private island for swimming, lounging, and a seafood dinner you will NEVER forget. Professional staff, great memories!

Captain Dennis and his crew made our day perfect. There customer service was excellent. The tour of the St. Elizabeth coastline was beyond our expectations and topped off by an amazing lunch that was prepared by the Captain and his team. We highly recommend that you check him out if you happen to be vacationing nearby.

Captain Dennis and his crew provided nothing short of an excellent experience for our family of seven. They picked us up at a spot in Treasure Beach, took us on a tour to Floyd's Pelican Bar and then to a beautiful private beach for an afternoon of fun and delicious seafood (prepared by Captain himself). We had a great time riding on the gorgeous Caribbean Sea and even saw a pod of dolphins! Captain Dennis and his crew were kind, careful and very attentive attentive to us. We admired their warmth, hospitality, cleanliness and appreciation for the environment. We loved every minute of this outstanding adventure and we can't wait to do it again soon!!

Captain Dennis provided an incredible experience for our group of six. We stopped in the Pelican Bar for a drink and quick swim on the sandbar - a fun place. Then we reached a special location on the beach and enjoyed an incredible lunch in a picturesque location. Captain Dennis not only cares deeply about the experience he provides, but he does it in an authentic and warm fashion. He and his team made for a wonderful day. You would be an absolute fool to miss a day with Captain Dennis - do yourself a favor and book it!

Captain Dennis and his team dropped us at Pelican bar where we hung out for about 2 hours . Then they took us to a private island where they had prepared a most sumptuous 3 course lunch for us with crab, lobster, fish and dessert and delicious dark-and-stormies to order. It was a lovely experience . Definitely recommend it.

Absolute best boat excursion ever!! Captain Dennis and his crew were amazing. They picked us up by boat at our Villa. We saw a large group of dolphins, spent an hour or so at Pelican Bar, then had an incredible lunch of fresh crab, grilled lobster and Jamaica foods. Oh my, we really needed those hammocks to relax after the meal on a private beach all to ourselves. I highly recommend this boat adventure.
