We recently went on a snorkeling trip on the Southern Wave and it was a highlight of our trip! I can’t say enough about the crew and their hospitality. We’d never been snorkeling before and they were helpful with the equipment and with explaining everything, which made us feel at ease. Lunch was great, too. We really enjoyed it from beginning to end. If we visit South Padre Island again, we’ll definitely book another excursion. Highly recommend!

We booked the catamaran for our bosses birthday bash. There was 30 of us, and there was plenty of space to accommodate all of us. The crew was the best. Smooth sailing. The food was amazing ! Overall great time.
