Our family had the best day on the Lady Leslie day trip! We boarded the catamaran in the morning and set out toward the Barrier Reef to snorkel. I was nervous, as I am not a strong swimmer, but Ricky persuaded me that he would keep me close and safe and I’m so glad he did. It was amazing! Next the kids swam with the sharks, then we docked for a bit and had lunch and strolled around Caye Caulker. On our way back Ricky made the absolute best sushi and drinks, it was truly an awesome day in Belize!! Highly recommend this company, they definitely made some great memories for our family that day!

Spectacular Day with the Lady Leslie
Our family of 6 had the best day with Ricky and Martin onboard the Lady Leslie last week. They came highly recommended from friends and they did not disappoint. The boat itself is beautiful with tons of comfortable space for sunbathing (bean bags were a big hit with the kids) and also plenty of lounging space in the shade. Ricky made us delicious drinks and snacks for the boat ride out to Hol Chan while reggae set the tone for a perfect day in paradise. The guys were really helpful getting my kiddos in the water with all of their snorkel gear. Both Ricky and Martin went out to snorkel with us which worked out really well when a few of our kids wanted to go back to the boat a little early - Martin brought them back while Ricky stayed out on the reef with us. We really appreciated their team work. After Hol Chan we headed over to Shark Alley. There was already a group of snorkelers in the water with the sharks and rays. Unbelievably, their guide was doing the one thing that you are not allowed to do - touch the marine life. I really appreciated how Martin respectfully, but firmly, let the guide know he needed to cut it out. It showed their genuine respect and care for their island and it's precious resources. After Shark Alley, we made our way over to Caye Caulker. Ricky showed us where we could feed massive tarpon (so fun) while we waited for our lunch to be ready. And also a great place for frozen cocktails. We poked around some shops and soaked up the serenity for a bit before hopping back on the boat. I'm so glad we made the trip over there - it's a beautiful island. Our trip back to San Pedro was 90 minutes of pure bliss. Ricky fed us delicious, freshly-made sushi and other super yummy treats. He also was an excellent bartender who kept the rum punch and juices flowing. But the highlight of the day, and of my entire 10 days in Belize was when two adult and one baby dolphin came to visit us on the ride back. I'm known for jumping in the water whenever dolphins are around and that day was no different. Typically dolphins scatter as soon as you get in the water. So Martin suggested that instead of jumping off the back of the boat, I slide in off the front of the catamaran while holding on to a rope that was tethered to the side. With my mask and snorkel on, I did exactly that. Martin kept the boat at a slow-ish pace, and I held onto the rope, with my face and snorkel in the water. Those beautiful creatures hung out by my side, no more than 10-15 feet away, swimming next to me, looking up at me, making their adorable dolphin noises for what seemed life forever but was probably 6-8 minutes. It was the most magical 6-8 minutes of my life. Not every boat captain would go out of his way to make my dream come true. Martin, I'll never forget you! Thank you so much!!! Overall, we had a 5 star experience on all of the levels we'd hoped. We'll absolutely be back to Belize in the future and the Lady Leslie will the first thing we book.

Amazing time with amazing food!
Wonderful day trip to Hol Chan, shark ray ally and Caye Caulker. Crew was great, the food was fantastic. I was expecting snacks, but they made sushi, fried shrimp, deserts, so so good!

Another great trip on the Lady Leslie
The family along with friends spent the day aboard the Lady Leslie last Monday, making two snorkeling stops followed by lunch on Caye Caulker. What a blast!! Martin, Jody and Ricky are terrific hosts and guides. Between the guided snorkeling, great snacks and tasty drinks, the Leslies know how to roll out the red carpet! Caye Caulker was a fun stop over with a nice lunch and platform diving at the Lazy Lizard. Everyone had a great time and we will be back! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, guys!
— Spencer B
BEST DAY EVER!!
This was the highlight of our trip. At Hol Chan, we saw a sea turtle, barracudas, and a plethora of fish. We even swam with sharks. Our guide Ricky was the BEST! Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, he was a great chef and bartender. The food was delicious!!
— MissyMax
Best day trip in Belize!!!
Hands down, the best day trip we had during our week long stay on Ambergris Caye, and some of the best snorkeling we’ve experienced. Martin (the captain) and Ricky were fantastic! We were given a warm welcome, and enjoyed a fantastic day snorkeling at two amazing locations, before venturing out for some exploring on Caye Caulker. Ricky was a wonderful guide with many suggestions for us, both in the water, and on the islands. Plenty of cold drinks, yummy snacks along the way, and great music throughout our day. Would highly recommend and will book again next time we visit. Our teenage crew also agreed it was the most fun day. If we’d had more time, we would have gone for a second day…it was THAT GOOD!
— meganrose21
Highly recommend!!!
Don’t look anywhere else for your catamaran cruise!! The Lady Leslie and her crew were absolutely amazing! We went with a group of 20 friends to Caye Cauker, Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. The crew were helpful, very attentive and we felt very safe snorkeling and sailing with them! We snorkeled in groups, each with our own guide. The guides were very attentive and made sure we were all together along with giving us great information about the fish we were seeing and the reef. After snorkeling we went to Caye Caulker. Such a cute island with very welcoming people! We then were surprised with homemade sushi, chips and guacamole and even birthday cupcakes for my birthday!! It was a true pleasure! We really got lucky with choosing this boat! My friends couldn’t believe what a value it was for the money we spent!! 5 stars for the Lady Leslie!!!
— nhg383
Great day
This was such a wonderful day. Relaxing, fun, informative all wrapped into one. We snorkeled with Ricki and Elon as guides. Afterwards we had one of our nicest meal on the Caye. And of course "ponti reepas"
— maryrose l
Amazing snorkeling/catamaran day trip!
By far the best snorkeling/catamaran trip I have been on! Elon, Ricky, and Martin were absolutely amazing! Ricky did an amazing job pointing out all the sea life during the trip! From the drinks, snacks and great crew I would recommend this tour above all else!!
— Melissa K
Best Snorkeling Excursion Ever!
The captain, crew and the experience were top notch. We have taken 15+ similar excursions when travelling and this was hands down the best of any in the Carribean. The boat is well cared for and captained. The crew/snorkel guides are attentive and knowledgeable and point out things easily missed. Hol Chan was phenomenal and also got to see a swarm of nurse sharks and manatees on the way to Caye Caulker. A few treats between snorkel stops and on the way home help to make this a memorable trip. Don't look any further!!
— John L
Amazing Experience
This trip was so much fun. Ricky and Martin were great. I didn't do much of the snorkling (first time) and Ricky was so patient with me and took me back to the boat when I was ready. Martin really explained the sea life to the others who snorkled. Swimming with the sharks was amazing. The food and drink were plentiful and kept on coming. We were a private group of 7 women and we all thought this was the highlight of the trip. I will definitely come back. Thank you so much for an enjoyable day!

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE LADY LESLIE!
A trip on the Lady Leslie with Martin, Jodi, Ricky and Elon is a MUST DO! This is 1000% worth it. They paid attention to every detail and made the day on the catamaran an experience of a lifetime. Trips to Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Alley were so fun. They were extremely friendly and attentive, answered all of our questions, provided so much rich history and literally gave us the BEST tour of the most beautiful reef. I wish I could rate them 100 stars. The boat is a dream to sail on and the ceviche, sushi, cocktails, brownies and shrimp were delicious. We loved meeting these guys and spending the day with them. We were very fortunate to have them as a part of a weekend full of memories that will last forever. We miss you guys!! Until next time...

Book the Lady Leslie NOW!
Our group of 10 returned from Belize yesterday. Our Snorkling + Caye Caulker trip with the Lady Leslie was the absolute highlight of our entire trip. We were picked up at our condo and driven to the catamaran to start the day. The snorkling portion at Hol Chan was possibly the best snorkling experience we have had in 4 trips to Hol Chan. Ricky and Elan worked extremely hard to find an octopus and moray eels for us to see. We also lucked into seeing 2 sea turtles, and a few spotted eagle rays. The food and drinks never stopped coming while we were on board. Delicious fresh made salsas, sushi, and more. Ricky walked with us to do some Tarpon Feeding by hand when we arrived at Caye Caulker. The boat was beautiful and the service was seriously impressive. The value for what we paid was incredible. We will book the Lady Leslie again when we are back in San Pedro again!!
— Jessica K
A Wonderful Day
These guys really care about you. My wife and I went on this boat today. I am a man of a "certain age" who sometimes requires more help than I used to. I never felt concerned for my safety as someone was always looking out for me when I moved about the boat. We went for a great snorkel. They made sure all the gear fit well for us and then made sure we saw lots of fish, turtles, rays etc. When conditions permitted, they hoisted the sails for a beautiful ride. Your glass is empty only by your own choosing. The only remaining thing for me to to say is, don't cheat yourself. Go with these guys and have a wonderful time.
— Allan W
Highlight of our trip to San Pedro, Belize
Jody, Ricky, Martin! Those were the guys (the crew) who took us on a fantastic day long catamaran cruise in San Pedro. From the moment we set sail we felt we were very well taken care of. We stopped in two different areas to snorkel and even swim with sharks. After that we stopped in at the Lazy Lizard restaurant for a two hour break for lunch. Some of my friends say this was the best snorkeling off a catamaran. There were 25 of us in our group and we were broken up into smaller groups and matched up with a snorkeling guide who pointed out fish and other points of interest. On the way back the guys gave us delicious snacks which included sushi rolls and coconut deserts. I'd definitely recommend them for anyone going to Belize.
— JuanStudioCity
Above and beyond!
This locally owned tour operator was a class above! Book now! Martin took my reservations the week before for my family of four and though he hoped others would also sign up, we were the only group for this tour. Thanks so much for keeping our reservations!!! Jody and Ricky were excellent hosts, showing us so many awesome sea creatures. The knowledge was above anything we have seen before. Ricky is a great cook and bartender! Everything about this exceeded our expectations, which really is an understatement.
— Jill F
Wonderful Catamaran In San Pedro
Such a fun day trip with the Lady Leslie. We loved sailing with this family run operation. The boat was immaculate. really comfortable accommodations on the front net, bean bag chairs, or the covered back galley. homemade snacks were delicious, and there was plenty of rum and beer! The crew was OUTSTANDING. highly recommend, great way to see the reef, caye caulker, and all the bets snorkeling spots
— JKope
Lady Leslie Catamaran
Highlight of our trip spending the day with Jody, Ricky and Elon, of lady Leslie catamaran. They were so fun and accommodating. After a great day of snorkeling and swimming with the sharks, the trip back was so relaxing. And the snacks were amazing!
— Kay Fleek
Best day of sailing to Caye Caulker
We had an amazing day of sailing and snorkeling with Jody, Ricky, and Elon! We saw so much marine life, including 3 manatees! The crew was amazing! The served the best conch ceviche, sushi, shrimp and drinks! This boat is top notch and you are missing out of you don’t make this part of your Belize experience.
— Kellikonst
Amazing tour!!!
This was one of the highlights of our time spent in San Pedro! We did a half day tour, snorkeled Hol Chan & swam with the nurse sharks at Shark Ray Alley. It was incredible!! Some of our group gets seasick, but the ride was so smooth. Some of the group scuba dives, and the wildlife we saw snorkeling was great and better than many places we’ve dove on other trips (turtles, rays, barracuda, parrot fish, “large schools, etc). Jody was so helpful & patient. Swimming with nurse sharks was so exciting! Would definitely recommend this company and excursion to anyone visiting San Pedro.
— andrea\_0988
Best crew! Great Experience!
I booked a full day Hol Chan-Shark Ray Alley-Caye Caulker trip for my family of 4 (kids ages 6 and 10) and had a fantastic time! Jody, Ricky, and Elin have the best personalities and top notch service. They were funny, thoughtful, thorough, friendly, personable, and accommodating. Jody pulled our not so enthusiastic 6-year old during the Hol Chan snorkel which allowed us to more fully enjoy the snorkel. He was constantly pointing out and naming fish and coral. I generally prefer to do things on my own, but very much appreciated everything he had to offer on the snorkel. We were uncertain on what to do on Caye Caulker and Elin right away offered to bring us around to some cool spots to feed the Tarpon and spot seahorses. I enjoyed talking to Elin and getting to know him a bit as we walked around. It was only his third day on the boat and he was a natural. Never did anything the guys say or do seem canned or scripted. Everything felt authentic and personable. They do offer basic snorkel gear, but we brought our own. The guys served fresh pico and chips in the morning and sushi, breaded shrimp (breaded and cooked on the boat!), and coconut bars in the afternoon. All of which was so good. Endless drinks served with a smile as well. This was my third catamaran trip that I've been on over the years and by far the best experience. Booking was done strictly through email and very informal . Trust the process and you'll have a great day.

Jody, the Lady Leslie Reef Fishing Leader
Reef fishing with Jody was a great time. Catching was even better! A joyous and happy half day of snapper and mackerel on the hook was ended with fillets that would be frozen and brought home to be enjoyed. A plan for next year was already secured.
— Ref4219
Best trip on the island!
Once again this highlight of my trip was going out on the Lady Leslie. We snorkeled with the manatees and new places along the reef. Jody and Ricky took great care of me as usual, even helping me be able to snorkel with a broken foot. I have been going to Belize for 10 years and every year I can't wait for my trips on the Lady Leslie. 4 trips on the boat this year. Already counting down the months till next years vacation and lots of trips on the catamaran. You won't find a better crew who takes excellent care of you and the food is fabulous. These guys treat you like family. Thanks for a great time. See you next year. Susan

Don't Miss A Sail to Caye Caulker on the Lady Leslie
We had a GREAT day with Martin, Jody, and Ricky. We were joined by another family of 5. The snorkel at Hol Chan Marine Reserve (where I saw my first sea turtle in 30 years of snorkeling and diving), swimming with the sharks at Shark Alley, and having lunch at Caye Caulker was all a lot of fun for our family of 5 adults. On the way they served fresh fruit, and on the way back to Ambergris Caye delicious fresh sushi, rum punch and the island drink, panty rippers. Laying on the front of the catamaran on the trip back to Ambergris Caye was a great end to the perfect day in Belize.
— j p
THE VERY BEST!!!
I’ve been on the Lady Leslie at least 5x .... with visiting Family members and friends, my Husband and self and twice alone! I can’t say enough about the quality of the staff... all Family! From Martin the captain to Ricky and Jody who are terrific at being both all knowledgeable guides in the water (quite kind and patient as well). To the terrific cooking and serving done on the boat. I’m amazed each and every time I take The Hol Chan Caye Caulker trip how much fun and how relaxing it is. Bean bags at the front of the boat to relax... great music, snacks, and super fun staff!

Wherever you go with Lady Leslie, it is First Class.
The Lady Leslie team is very nice and professional. It is a treat to sail with them. They always serve delicious food. Always thumb up!
— Annick R
MUST DO IN BELIZE!
The Lady Leslie came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. Went with a group of 5. Martin, Ricky and Jody were great guides. Provided delicious food and beverages. Trip out to Hol Chan, Shark Alley then Caye Caulker. At Hol Chan, it is a 45 minute swim out to the reef and back. At Shark Alley, it is a quick swim at the back of the boat with just some sharks and rays. At Caye Caulker, a couple hour stop on the island. Tips: -SUNSCREEN! -Bring your own snorkeling gear, if possible. They do provide them as well -Towels -Take the floaty. It is a long swim and can become helpful later. -At Caye Caulker, I would do more exploring than eating. We ate at the restaurant off the pier and didn't have much time to explore. The Leslie does provides snacks on the way back to San Pedro. -I have motion sickness and this trip did not bother me. I did have sea legs for 2 days afterwards.

Best Day Ever....Pure Joy!
My first time in Belize last March, I saw the Lady Leslie from a distance. I knew that the next time I came to Ambergris Caye I needed to go out on the Lady Leslie. After all, it has the BEST NAME ever! Martin, Jody, and Ricky made the whole experience perfect. They quickly responded to my email about availability and made the process super easy. Walking towards the Catamaran, I was beyond excited for this day trip. Snorkeling at Hol Chan, swimming with the sharks at Shark Ray Alley, then a visit to Caye Calker to explore for a few hours. They served us wonderful food and drinks, and I remember looking out at the beauty that surrounded us and just being so happy. I literally had tears of joy at one point because I was finally in my happy place and at peace. I highly recommend you spend time on the Lady Leslie when you are in Belize!
— Inspiredbylll
Fantastic day!
My family of 5 booked with Martin weeks before our trip. Once down in A.C. the wind starting picking up to the point that the day before we were supposed to sail there was a small craft advisory and no boats were on the water. I reached out to Martin about postponing for 2 more days and I received a very prompt response back that my request was no problem. Oh, I can't say enough thanks about letting us delay as our trip out was nothing short of perfect. The winds died down and the sail was outstanding. Jodie, Ricky, and Captain Martin are wonderful hosts. So grateful they shared their little slice of heaven with my family and I. Thank you.
— Eric A
Awesome day trip - Jodi is incredible!!
I went back and forth about booking on this boat or another boat that has great reviews too, but seems to be a party boat. I'm SO beyond thrilled I choose Lady Leslie! The day couldn't have been any more perfect. We were traveling with our 6 year old daughter who hasn't been thrilled about snorkeling up until this trip. There were about 8 people who were going snorkeling and myself, husband and daughter were paired up with Jodi as our snorkeling guide. He was absolutely incredible with our daughter. He brought an inner-tube on a rope so our daughter could just hold on and look at the fish as he pulled her thru the water. This allowed my husband and I to really enjoy the snorkeling as well. We saw so many great fish, puffer fish, spotted eagle rays, tarpon, moray eel, sting rays, etc. Jodi was very knowledge about everything we were seeing and would tell us each fish and coral by name. After about 30 minutes our daughter had enough so Jodi just set her in the inner-tube (above the water) and was able to pull her along for the last 15 minutes while we finished the snorkel tour!! That was huge for us. On other snorkel trips we've done, one of us would have to take her back to the boat and miss the rest of the snorkeling. The boat is so comfortable with bean bag chairs up front and cargo netting with yoga mats for you to lay on. We really enjoyed the boat ride as well. Now let's talk about the food!!! We went to Caye Caulker for 2 hours and ate a nice lunch at The Split (fun place), but if we would have known how much food we were going to be served once back on the boat, we would have just had drinks! On the boat ride back they whipped up fried plantains (cooked on the boat), SUSHI! Yes, sushi! Delicious sushi that I couldn't stop eating. I don't mean like a piece or two. I mean trays and trays of it. Then there was chips and homemade pineapple salsa! Again, each group got their own tray of it! I was stuffed. Then there was dessert! And as much rum punch as you wanted (after the snorkeling). It was a magical day and a group of 6-8 dolphins swam with the boat for a good 15 minutes. It was incredible to see them jump and play just a few feet from the side of the boat! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip. We LOVED visiting Caye Caulker and would even consider staying there next time over San Pedro. We just loved the small islandy feel of it. Book Lady Leslie it will be one of the best days of your trip!! Thanks Lady Leslie and specifically Jodi for such a fantastic day!!

The food is all made while you sail to and from each snorkel spot and its excelllent. They are super patient with beginner snorkelers and great snorkel guides. Everybody on tour was great lots of happy people as you can see!

More great trips on the Lady Leslie
Another trip to Belize and 3 great trips on the Lady Leslie. Once again Martin, the captain and Ricky and Jody treated us like family. As always they take excellent care of all the passengers, making these boat trips one of the best times on the island. The food they serve is delicious. Be it appetizers on the Caye Caulker trip or the whole meal on the Mexico rocks trip.. Ricky is a great cook, The snorkeling is great. Ricky and Jody are great guides making sure we see as much as possible. I have been going on this boat for 9 years and every year its what I look forward to the most. Luv you guys and can't wait till next year to go on more great boat trips. Susan West Berkely Springs, WV

What a fun day!
When in San Pedro, you have to get away from town and out onto the water. The Lady Leslie crew made this a really fun day. There were only about twelve of us on the trip, so the catamaran was not crowded at all. There were also large bean bags for us to loung on while up top. There was also a smaller indoor area with two restrooms available. Our first stop was Hol Chan Marine Reserve where we snorkeled. Jody led our small group of four around the marine reserve and pointed out and told us about many different fish that we were seeing. He was very attentive to us and when one person started getting behind, he went back and helped him. Our next stop was Shark Ray Alley. As the crew fed the sharks, three of us got in to swim with them. Again, Jody was with us and showed us how gentle they could be. He also caught a stingray and let us touch it. We stopped at Caye Caulker where we had lunch on our own. On our way back to San Pedro, we stopped one more time for more snorkeling. This time we didn't see many fish, but it was still al lot of fun. The goggles, fins, and snorkels were included in the price. We were also give life jackets to wear if needed. During the day, we were given comlimentary rum punch, beer, soda, water and some snacks including sushi and delicious coconut rum bars. A catamaran tour is a fun way to spend the day in Belize!
— Mary J
Fun on the High Sea
If your destination in San Pedro and you need a fun day go on a catamaran trip on the Lady Leslie! It is a great snorkel adventure with an awesome crew! They feed you an awesome meal and take you on a snorkel adventure that you will remember forever! Thank you for always being fun Jody, Ricky and Martin!
— Gwen O
Great day trip!
We did the day trip that included snorkeling at Hol-Chan and Shark Ray Alley then on to Caye Caulker and had a wonderful, relaxing day. The Lady Leslie is a family operation: Captain Martin, his son Jody and son in law Ricky. Jody is very personable and we talked about his life growing up on the water. He was our guide for snorkeling and did a great job pointing out wildlife and keeping our group together when it got a little crowded at Hol-Chan. I don't know how he does it in such a small kitchen, but Ricky prepares a number of delicious gourmet snacks for the afternoon trip back. I booked via email with Captain Martin directly and it was a very smooth process. Bring more cash than you might think if you like to shop because the roadside craft vendors on Caye Caulker generally don't take credit cards. A resident of San Pedro was on our tour with a few of her friends and said that of all the catamaran tours offered, the Lady Leslie is hands down the best operation on the Caye and I couldn't agree more!
— Dorothy S
Great day today!
When in San Padro, spending time on the water is a must. We have found that the catamaran tours are a great way to go. We decided to go with the 2 snorkel stops and than off to Ceye Caulker for lunch and a quick stroll around town. Martin and his crew were a blast to have and will be utilizing their services on our next trip to San Pedro.
— Ric R
Excellent!!!!
Hol-Chan, Shark Ray and Caye Caulker Day Trip. PERFECT - and better than all the rest. The Captain - First Rate. The Crew - Amazing. The Boat - wonderful. The Food - I couldn't stop eating ...... three kinds of sushi, fresh-made plantain chips, stunning pineapple-salsa, fresh-made (baked on the boat and served hot) coconut bars - oh my it was sooooo good. There is plenty of beer and rum-punch (after the snorkel times) but they don't push it on you. We saw great fish, we were super-well guided and cared for - Jody is remarkable as lead guide. Have been to San Pedro multiple times and done Hol-Chan/Shark Ray multiple times - thus tour is the BEST on offer, period.
— Diane C
Half Day Tip - Amazing Experience Highly Recommend
We booked the half day tip to Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley one week in advance. We had alot of guests, around 22 in total. We were concerned how the boat would handle this many people but it wasn't an issue at all. The catamaran was large enough everyone had plenty of room and it didn't seem overcrowded at all. Martin and Jody arrived at the dock right on time for pickup. After the short trip over to Hol Chan everyone was excited to get in the water. Martin, Ricky, and Jody led the entire group around for the snorkeling tours. They ensured everyone was safe throughout the entire tour, as some of our guest hadn't snorkeled before. After the Hol Chan tour we went over to Shark Ray Alley, we swam with the sharks another amazing experience. We then sailed along the reef were the booze and food was out of this world! Jody and Ricky in the kitchen made amazing conch fritters, sushi, ceviche, coconut bars were served to everyone. It was one of the best moments of our entire trip. An experience we wont forget. I highly recommend you doing a tour with this company. There knowledge and dedication to each of the guests onboard is outstanding. We'll be back!
— Cody Kirkpatrick
Another Belize Highlight!
Martin isn't the most bubbly of personalities, but he is capable and has staffed his boat to take care of the personal relations so he doesn't have to. lol. But seriously, sailing with the Lady Leslie was an absolute treat. Looking around throughout the day, we seemed to be just ahead of the other service providers (ahead of the crowd) and to be less crowded/more comfortable/getting more personal service. All wins! Jody and Ricky are his family and crew and they are awesome. They had their roles on the boat but were both excellent guides when we were snorkeling through the marine reserve and with the sharks. Ricky took command of my 5 year old (giving a life ring to hold on to so he could just be towed) so the 3 bigger ones (11 year old and two adults) could actually enjoy the outing as well. After lunch on Caye Caulker, Jody generously took our group to go feed tarpoons (such a cool experience -- do it!), look for seahorses and visit the animal rescue. He was an easy going and friendly guide. On the way back, because the winds were calm, we were able to sail back outside of the reef. We were able to see different wildlife (flying fish, turtle, schools of small fish) and seemingly move at a faster pace because of it. I would whole-heartedly recommend a day with Lady Leslie to anyone and would sail with them again, on a return trip. I like that they were respectful of the beautiful natural amenities they tour around and our whole group felt safe (in the water with 5' barracudas and 10' sharks--it defies logic) and cared for. An awesome experience!

Respect and Ridiculous Food
What a fantastic experience. The Lady Leslie is a very nice boat with an outstanding crew. Martin is a relic of Ambergris and a wealth of knowledge on all of the history and ongoings of the island. His crew are family and are wonderful. Jody was so attentive to all of our safety and cocktail needs. He even escorted us throughout Caye Caulker whitch was a classy touch. . Rickey is a fantastic chef and had our non fish eater throwing back conch fritters. We have done many of these day catamaran trips and I can say this is one of the best! Thank you Lady Leslie for an unforgettable day!
— Mrsbailey5
Amazing trip to swim with the sharks1
Never thought I would do this but this company is very respectful of the environment and the sharks. You are not going to feed them or ride them like some other tours. All of the crew were very attentive and safety was a priority. The boat is clean and adequate rest room facilities. Food cooked on board is delicious. One of the best trips I have ever taken.
— rckhrs23
Service went above and beyond the usual
We toured on the Lady Leslie the last week in June, 2018, and forgot one of our bags onboard when we left. The crew responded to our text at 9:30pm that night, and arranged for us to pick it up at their office the next day. We were so happy and surprised when someone was able to drop it by our rental house for us! Thank you for the great service! We also enjoyed our activities, and saw the diving crew give extra help to someone who needed it while we were snorkeling. The food was fantastic, and the rum punch flowed, everyone had fun.

Great Hol Chan, Shark Ray Alley, and Caye Caulker Full Day Tour!
Booked the full day tour with Mr. Leslie via e-mail advance. He was very quick to respond to our questions or concerns. Aboard the Lady Leslie, Mr. Leslie, and his two boys, Ricky and Jody took great care of us! The snacks and drinks were great and their company was even better! They gave us a guided tour of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, we went to Shark Ray Alley to swim with the sharks and rays, and we stopped by Caye Caulker for a nice lunch! We sailed back to San Pedro and just enjoyed the rest of the day! Another great thing about Lady Leslie is that they are very eco-friendly and made sure that the beautiful creatures in the sea were not harassed by our presence. The Lady Leslie was beautiful! It is big, comfortable, and the ride was smooth! Even during a storm (Jody says it hasn't rained like that in about 3 years), the Lady Leslie just pierced right through the waves! It was very spacious and wasn't too crowded. To be honest, that is one of the biggest reasons we chose Lady Leslie. We didn't want to be in a crowded boat with rowdy people. We wanted to relax and be pampered, and Lady Leslie definitely delivered on that front! Thank you for Mr. Leslie, Rick, and Jody for letting us aboard your boat. It was an honor and a pleasure!
— Eric D
Day trip with the Lady Leslie
Great trip. These guys are the best. We have now taken 4-5 trips with this crew, they have never disappointed us. They are all three very attentive to all of their guests. More food than we could eat, all prepared by these guys. Thank you Martin, Jody and Ricky.

Snorkeling and swimming with the dharks
By far the best snorkeling tour on the island. This is a family owned business that takes pride in the service they provide. Martin the dad was the captain and the son Jordy and son-in-law Ricky went above and beyond from the great fresh fruit to the out of this world homemade sushi and conch fritters they served us. The beverages were just as good, They even noticed a manatee in the water and took the extra time to stop and let us get in and snorkel with it. They pay no kickbacks to the hotels or their staff as many of the other tours go. I would not use anyone else. I will be back with my family.

Amazing fun
Went on this amazing all day trip with my girlfriends. This is a family owned business and it was the most fantastic part of our trip to Belize. We went snorkeling at Hol Chan and Jody took us on a guided tour and showed us so many cool fish and rays. We then went to Shark alley and swam with nurse sharks. Caye Caulker for lunch and then they checked this area for us to see a manatee- we were so lucky they went out of their way to take us to that spot and we got to snorkel and see a manatee which was amazing . They also made amazing sushi and drinks ! This was one of the most amazing trips we have been on !

Highlight of our trip
Hands down the best snorkeling tour I have ever.. including the Great Barrier Reef! These guys really are protecting the eco system and their love of hospitality and the ocean is evident in everything they do. Jody was amazing guide .. we touched stingrays. Saw a sea turtle ( as far as we know we were only boat that day that did ). Swam w sharks. Had some amazing sushi and conch fritters and felt safe with this amazing family crew... the catamaran was easy on and easy to jump off and booze was delicious after snorkeling of course

Perfect sail on Lady Leslie!
We just returned from our trip today. They think of EVERYTHING! Jody does a phenomenal job giving instruction and making everyone feel comfortable on the boat and in the water. Ricky was awesome at identifying marine life and looking out for passengers. The customer service is top notch...delicious homemade salsa, sushi, conch fritters and coconut bars.They truly take care of you. It could not have been more perfect.

Sailing on the Lady Leslie is a DREAM
We were in San Pedro On Ambergris Caye for 10 days and sailed twice on the Lady Leslie. The catamaran is Beautiful, is 20’x40’ and is only outdone by the Leslie Family who makes sailing such an exceptional experience. Jody, the two Ricky’s and Captain Martin are the just the Best !!!!! The rates are reasonable and the food and drinks are to die for. Our first trip was an all day affair. First sailing out to the reef and snorkeling. Then over to swim with the sharks, then a few hours on Caye Caulker. And to finish the day a nice long wind driven sail back to San Pedro. Our second trip was a sunset cruise. Perfection. Only a couple of hours but with our exceptional hosts, delicious drinks and great snacks, the trip was well worth it. If you are in San Pedro do not miss sailing on the Lady Leslie. It is an experience not to be missed. Kudos Leslie’s. Christine Crossley Ron Brezicki Carolina Shores, NC
