cocovibes is an award-winning family run locally-owned private boat tour company.
Our logo tells our story – it was a fateful meeting under a coconut tree – one that blossomed into new love, life, and business. A family with three sons, anchored to an island surrounded by good vibes and the sea we love so dearly. We believe in delivering fun, educational and incredibly memorable private boat tours that leave you feeling as though you experienced Antigua’s coastline in a uniquely authentic way.
George was born in Antigua and raised in the British Virgin Islands, making him a veteran of island life. A certified mechanic by trade, Captain George has been working on boats, jet skis, and other motor vehicles for the past 20 years. His passion for the ocean and being on the water led him to become Captain of his own boat. Captain George has now been expertly guiding boat tours around Antigua for over 8 years. Having explored Antigua throughout his life, he has scouted his favorite spots and now loves getting to share them with others. Over the years he has served the community and environment through being a former director of AB Sea Turtles and participating in beach cleanups. Captain George is well-known for his experience, knowledge, and sense of humor – he’s all good vibes.
Meet Brittney. Passionate about travel & tourism, sustainability, and the ocean, this former teacher has been behind the scenes of the biz; you’ll be in touch with her for all bookings. When she’s not working, she’s snorkeling Antigua’s reefs, hiking, volunteering and planning coastal cleanups with local environmental groups such as Adopt-a-Coastline and AB Ocean Trust, and exploring with her and Captain George’s three sons.
“This was Captain George throughout: going above and beyond, with passion. He was so knowledgeable, interesting to talk with, and just fun. He is very committed to ecological preservation of the island as well. The snorkelling was beyond anything I could have hoped for. The booking process was easy too, even though I had a couple of requests. The value was also excellent. We just can’t say enough great things about CocoVibes and Captain George!”
Frequently asked questions
How do I book a charter?
You’re welcome to use the booking buttons above to book your private charter. Alternatively, you can call or WhatsApp +1-268-771-0607 or info@cocovibestours.com. If your charter is more than one week away, please allow up to 2 business days for a reply.A
What kind of boat do you operate?
Manifest, our 18 foot Boston Whaler, is equipped with snorkeling gear, wifi hotspot, Bluetooth sound system, and comfortable seating; the perfect boat for adults and children alike. We have a maximum capacity of 6 guests.
What is the itinerary?
The itinerary is determined based on the length of your charter, which areas have the best conditions that day, and your interests. Captain George will do his best to take you to the clearest, calmest areas to ensure the best possible experience. We head as far north as Hell’s Gate Island and typically as far south as Cades Reef, although in perfect conditions we will go as far as Nelson’s Dockyard.
Why choose cocovibes?
CocoVibes is a family run, locally owned & operated, fully licensed & insured, ABST-compliant and fully and legally registered company. Captain George is an experienced, certified captain with all of the required safety equipment onboard. We offer fun, educational, professional experiences that our guests have loved for over 8 years.
what is your cancellation policy?
We require a 20% non-refundable deposit. If you cancel within 48 hours or do not attend the charter, you will be charged 100% of the charter cost. In the event of unforeseen circumstances/technical issues on our end or poor weather conditions, we will do our best to work with you to reschedule the charter. If rescheduling is not an option, a 100% refund will be issued. **We love to have our guests visit the most unique locations on the island. We strive very hard to deliver on 110% customer satisfaction and that includes keeping you comfortable and safe. Weather and sea conditions can vary making some locations unsafe or unusually uncomfortable to visit by boat. On such days we must choose an alternate location, so, please forgive us if we can’t always get you to that special spot that you really had your heart set on.
what do I need to bring?
Please bring towels, UV Protection (hat, rashguard, etc.), Reef Safe (non-nano zinc oxide) sunscreen, extra cash or card for potential purchases at stops during the charter, snacks, and good vibes.
Where do we meet the boat?
We are based at Dickenson Bay, but offer free pick up by boat from any west coast hotel; as far south as Carlisle Bay and as far north as Hodges Bay.
do you go to barbuda?
No – we do not offer private charters to Barbuda. Barbuda is about 90 minutes away by boat in typically quite rough seas. We recommend to our guests to look into flying over, or enquire with other private charter companies.
Do you provide food on charters?
Lunch is only included with a Full Day All-Inclusive charter. You’re welcome to bring your snacks and meals.
Are fishing trips catch-and-keep?
It is standard in Antigua that the catch belongs to the vessel. That being said, we’re happy to let you keep a portion.
How can I pay?
We accept all major credit cards (including American Express) as well as cash.
