How much to admit to the boatyard

We will b there n may and was wondering what is the cost for the boatyard

Thanks

The cost is $15 which includes admission and use of the facilities, including water toys, a chair and umbrella (if available), one welcome drink, and a ride back to the port. I'll be spending the day there next week. Looks gorgeous from all the pics!!

$12 for younger children. My kids are 12 and 16 and they paid the $15. Each wrist band had a tab for free drink.

We loved this outing......safe/clean/variety of activities/happy hours.......easy to get to from the ship .....a lovely day.....thank you fellow Cruise Critic members for the information.....would never have done without the suggestions!!!

Great place to relax on a gorgeous beach with clean facilities and fun water toys! We had an awesome day at the Boatyard!

Did any of you arrange to swim with the turtles while at the Boatyard? If so, how much did it cost? Also, do I understand correctly that the return transportation to the ship is included in the $15.00 entrance fee? Thanks in advance :)

QTPieRye: This website has some great info for you:

We paid $15pp to swim with the turtles & snorkel over 2 shipwrecks with Neville.

Wondering if you can use a credit card or if it is cash only? Thanks!

The cost to swim with the turtles with Neville was $20pp not $15 (the Boatyard was $15). It was definitely worth it!

Sorry, I don't know about credit cards at the Boatyard--we used cash....

Is there a locker to lock stuff up if you go out with the turtles?

I'm confused because I've seen a couple different posts saying the Boatyard is $15 pp but then their website says $50?

I saw that, too, but I believe that's for private parties -- it says for "permanent residents only."

The $15 entrance fee seems pretty good, since it includes a drink and a ride back to the ship. We paid $3 to get into Paradise Beach in Cozumel, but only included chairs, an umbrella, and use of the inflatables.

Is the ride back to the ship at only certain times, or can you get a ride back whenever you want to go (or do they wait to fill up a bus/van)?

I think paradise in Cozumel charges $3 to get in and then you have to buy food (at least like $10 a person) and the water stuff was an extra cost. The cab fee is high to get out there too. I've been a few times but I don't think I'll be going back because the costs add up for a family of 4.

The water inflatables were included in the $3 entrance fee. We were watching people playing on them, and we didn't see anyone wearing special wristbands. Extra charge for snorkeling, jet skis, etc. it wasn't bad for us, but it was just two adults and we had lunch, a bottle of water, a beer and a Miami Vice. I think your taxi should have been the same as ours 1-4 people, $20.00. We loved it there.

Bea aware that the info you quoted is for Cozumel, not Boatyard! But I can tell you from being there this past August 2015 was that it was a $5 per person (+tip) taxi ride to Boatyard and $15 entrance fee. The put on a wristband with a tear-off tab for your free drink (you choose from about 4-5 different cocktails, local beer, soda or juice). Entrance fee includes said drink plus one chair per person, an umbrella to share between two chairs and use of their facilities (showers, bathrooms, lockers, water activities) and your return trip to the port (don't forget to tip your driver). Get there early if you're in a cruise ship, especially those days with multiple ships in port since everything is strictly first come, first served and even with one ship in port it tends to get crowded as the morning progresses.

The following increase in the admission price will take place as of November 1st - as posted on their website:

CRUISE PASSENGERS - $20US ($40BDS) - Includes use of onsite amenities listed above plus ONE free welcome drink and transport back to the cruise terminal.

Thanks! I thought the discussion had been about The Boatyard, but then I saw a comment about Paradise Beach in Coz. We had just been there in September.

Good to know about The Boatyard. We'll be in Barbados in April.

There are lockers in the area on your way to the restrooms.

Never used one so don't know about the cost of renting one.

The Boatyard sounds great. Thank you for the info.

Different price for cruise passangers and visitors from hotels?

I was at boatyard Dec. 2014 and the price was about 20$. If I remember correctly, it included the chair and food/drink up to 20$. Is that correct or am I imagining things?

thanks

I emailed them because I wanted to know what the actual price was and this is the response I got so this is accurate..

We've gone to the Boatyard a couple of times. The last time after reading here on CC we gave the bartenders our backpacks w/ our valuables to store well above the bar while we were renting jet skis.
