Take a fun and relaxing catamaran cruise along the west coast of Barbados! On board a spacious schooner, sail to two or three different snorkeling spots, where you’ll see a shipwreck and swim in the clear Caribbean with sea turtles and colorful fish. A light breakfast snack and unlimited beverages are provided. Choose between two options — a 3-hour cruise that’s great for families with small children, or a 5-hour cruise that includes lunch.
After hotel pickup, head to the marina in Bridgetown to board your catamaran, El Tigre, a 60-foot-long (18-meter) and 24-foot-wide (7-meter) schooner that’s big enough to carry 50 passengers but is limited to 36 per cruise to provide more space. The boat offers both shady and uncovered areas so you can choose to sit wherever you’ll be more comfortable. Pull out of the marina and head along the west coast of Barbados, enjoying the sea breeze on your face and admiring the picturesque coastline. While you sail, just relax, sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of juice, rum punch or beer, and enjoy a slice of coconut bread.
Make your way to your first snorkeling spot, where you should be able to see sea turtles. Spend 45 minutes snorkeling, and then hop back on board the boat to sail to your second snorkeling location, a shipwreck that has become a habitat for many tropical fish. You have another 45 minutes to snorkel here. If you choose the 3-hour option, you’ll then be dropped off at a west coast beach, where your cruise ends. Your transportation will be waiting for you at this beach to return to your hotel. If you select the 5-hour option, continue along the west coast to a third location, where you’ll stop to enjoy lunch onboard the boat. Then hop in the water to cool off, swimming up to the nearby beach, if you wish, for a stroll along the sand. Back on board, enjoy a cocktail and listen to soca — a style of Caribbean calypso music — while the boat returns you to the marina in Bridgetown, where your cruise ends. Unlimited drinks (soda, beer and rum punch) are provided on both cruise options.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
We had a lovely day on El Tigre. The staff was very friendly, boat was clean, drinks were endlessly poured and lunch was fantastic. Highlight of the trip was swimming near the sea turtles as the guides fed them near our party. We also enjoyed seeing the shipwrecks and all the different colorful fish. We loved the entire experience
What can I say...an amazing day!! Crew were fabulous. Swims were awesome and the food and drink superb. The whole experience was really worth it, especially the shipwreck swims and the Turtle who made everyone's day!! Thank you for a great experience!
A fantastic cruise, staff are amazing, friendly, super helpful and lots of fun, Maureen is a star and makes the the trip a delight, the crew know the best places to snorkle and swim, cannot recommend thus catamaran enough, will do it again during our visit next year.
Clean and spacious vessel, friendly and attentive staff, beautiful scenery and a steady supply of drinks. What's not to love?
Awesome adventure and crew!!! Had a great day snorkeling at some wrecks and reefs. Tasty lunch included along with a yummy snack of banana bread.
Lovely tour. Process was easy from pick up onward. Had up close and personal time with the sea turtles, plus many tropical fish over the ship wrecks. The boat itself was clean and well maintained. There was no shortage of drinks. Unfortunately Mr got sick and we jumped off at the beach before lunch but it looks scrumptious. The staff were excellent and very kind, had a sea-do bring us to shore where we easily got a taxi and back to the ship. I do highly recommend the tour.
