Our group of 9 (family and friends) were on an NCL cruise which stopped in Tortola for the day (Aug 13). Rather than take one of the cruise ship arranged excursions we decided to find a sailing/snorkeling trip on our own. After much Internet searching and several phone calls we decided on Patouche. Best decision and the highlight of our... more

We were in Tortola for our honeymoon and could not find a charter answering their phone or at their Marinas. This time of year (early august) It is Holiday and everything shuts down. We finally called Patouche charters on Saturday and told us we could go to Cooper Island on Sunday. We met Joe and Julie who own the company... more

During our recent honeymoon in the BVI, we went out for a full-day sail with Patouche, and had an incredible experience. Our captain and his crew (his brother) were an ideal mix of knowledgable/serious and laid back, friendly. The snorkeling was amazing, and they went out of their way to give us every opportunity to swim, explore, etc. On top... more

Just wanted to post something thanking the good people of Patouche Charters. We had a blast cruising with them to the Baths of Virgin Gorda and Norman Island... From start to finish the crew, captained by Joe, was polite and professional. Joe even mentioned so many great points of interest I never found while researching our trip on the internet!... more

We recently returned from a fantastic vacation in Tortola, BVI. My family and I (six in total) went out on a day boat charter with a company called Patouche. I absolutely cannot say enough about this company. They were incredible, from Julie's patient answers to all our telephone questions, to the wonderful service on the boat provided by Joe and... more

Had such a good time we signed up for a 2nd cruise for the next day! Joe and Julie are the best as are their staff. My wife is claustrophobic and doesn't like anything on her face. She got some TLC from Clive one of the crew on our first snorkel stop. He made sure her gear fit and took... more

We just returned from a week on Virgin Gorda in the BVI and were fortunate to spend two of those days with the awesome people at Patouche. We spent a day on Anegada and another experiencing the most amazing snorkeling at the Indians, the Caves as well as a trip to a shipwreck site and some relaxing at the Soggy... more

I recently visited a friend who is living on her boat in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. She arranged a snorkeling day trip by Patouche. They have an office at the HR Penn Marina in Road Town on Tortola Island. This is the marina where you board for the trip. Joe and his crew, who are all expert snorkelers and boaters... more

Readers: We just have to write and tell you about our experience with Patouche Charters in Tortola. When planning our trip to Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, I was surfing the interenet and came across Patouche Charters. Not knowing a thing about them, I took a chance chartering with them based on their website and my personal conversations with... more
