Smooth Sailing!

Captain JW and Alecia made our trip fun and interesting. They took us to beautiful snorkeling places and beaches and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch on Lovango. The catamaran Sirena is a spacious boat with ample seating in both shady and sunny places. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting a special voyage with an attentive crew on a well equipped boat in the beautiful Virgin Islands!

This is the best half day excursion. What can be better than seeing the islands from the beautiful turquoise Caribbean water?!!! We had the good fortune to have Captain Maddy and First Mate Philip on our boat. They were so fantastic! Professional, fun and very attentive. Thank you both!!

Exciting catamaran day trip!

From start to finish, J.W. and Chloe made this such a great experience. We were traveling with little ones, and they made sure that the babies had a great place to keep cool and safely play while some of the adults enjoyed snorkeling. J.W. took us to the prettiest spot for snorkeling too! If he makes a recommendation, it’s worth listening to!! After snorkeling, he helped us find a great lunch spot and it couldn’t be beat! We would definitely recommend this and would do it again!!

Know before you go

It’s free to access the beach.
Bring plenty of sun protection and a swimsuit if you plan to enjoy the water.
Nearby facilities include restrooms, showers, equipment rental, and a beach bar that serves food and drinks.
The water in front of the beach is fairly rocky; water shoes are a good idea, but be careful not to stand on any coral.
Wild ducks and iguanas can be found sometimes on and around the beach.
