Itinerary

Depart from your Barbados hotel in a climate-controlled vehicle and travel to the Bridgetown marina, where your personal catamaran awaits you.

Meet your skipper and step aboard El Tigre, the 60-foot-long (18-meter), 24-foot-wide (7-meter) vessel that you cruise around Barbados’ west coast on.

Unwind on deck and soak up the sun and sea views as your skipper guides you out onto the open waters of the Caribbean Sea. Sip a coffee or juice and munch on a slice of coconut bread as you admire the pretty coastline. Unlimited soda, rum punch, and beer are also available.

Stop first at a popular snorkeling site, where sea turtles often gather. Pull on a provided snorkel mask and dive off the catamaran to swim alongside them.

After roughly 45 minutes, continue to the second snorkeling spot to swim over a shipwreck teeming with tropical fish.

Continue along the west coast and anchor off a beach. Here, enjoy lunch on board, then swim to the pristine sands for a stroll along the beach.

Back on El Tigre, dry off, enjoy a cocktail, and listen to some soca, a form of Caribbean calypso music, while you cruise back to Bridgetown.

Your tour concludes with hotel drop-off.
