What To Expect

Set sail from the Careenage in Bridgetown aboard an authentic sailing catamaran for a laid-back yet thrilling three-hour adventure. Slip into the crystal-clear waters of Carlisle Bay to snorkel alongside graceful sea turtles, discover colorful coral, and explore historic shipwrecks alive with tropical fish. After your snorkeling experience, sit back and enjoy a relaxing sail across Carlisle Bay before returning to the Bridgetown dock. Prefer to keep the beach day going? Guests are welcome to stay on Carlisle Bay beach after the tour instead of using the return transport. (This option requires guest to make their own arrangements for return transport.) Carlisle Bay is famous for its very soft white sand and is lined with restaurants and beach bars. Chairs and umbrellas are available for rent (not included). All snorkeling and safety gear—including life jackets—is provided, along with unlimited drinks, spacious deck areas and shaded seating. To keep the experience intimate and relaxing, we limit each cruise to just 12 guests.

Absolutely fantastic day out with captain Chris, a great guy who made us feel welcome and was so helpful all day. Nothing was too much trouble, really knowledgeable and great to spend the day with. His food and drink was amazing, so tasty and he even found us turtles and big fish to snorkel around. Highly recommend this company, from pick up to drop off everybody was polite and courteous. We will definitely be using them next year. Smaller cruises are so much better and far less stressful on board. This is the best cruise we’ve had anywhere around the world for a boat day trip out.
Plenty of Fish, Great Captain

Great Trip! Last min booking only 4 of us on board so plenty room! Took us snorkelling and it was so good they get all the fish to swim at you plus you see turtles! Few drinks and sailing up and down the coast was a great couple hours off the cruise!
Great time, would recommend!

Loved Loved Our small group experience!! Christopher was a fantastic captain and was very engaging and knowledgeable about Barbados! The Small Cats hold 10 people and we were lucky enough to be alone with our group of 5 which made the experience so enjoyable!! Loved the fact that life jackets were available but not required so we were able to dive down to explore the wrecks! Saw really big tarpon, 1 big Ray, batfish on the bottom and tropical fish!! Drinks are available on the boat… both rum punch and water and soft drinks!! All in all a very very nice morning!! Well worth the price!!!
Turtles and Shipwrecks!

Loved this! We boarded a small catamaran with another couple and our captain Christopher. Short ride to where we got into the water and saw sea turtles. The highlight of this stop was seeing the turtles come up to the surface for air and then dive down right in front of our eyes. Next, we stopped at two shipwrecks. We saw so many fish it was like swimming in an aquarium. Divers were below us from another tour group that released a wall of bubble that was fun to swim through. Christopher opened the sails, served drinks and sailed us back to shore. He pointed out fun facts throughout the trip. The tour company picked up/dropped us off at the cruise terminal. I enjoyed that the driver pointed out spots along the way.
Highlight of our Time in Barbados!

We spent an amazing afternoon with Christopher yesterday! He absolutely blew our ocean-loving, underwater sea creature-obsessed son’s mind by giving us a family adventure we will never forget. We swam with sea turtles and giant tarpon and hundreds of colourful fish and even a ray. Swimming at the ship wreck was also amazing but became very crowded with other tours. It was fine but really highlighted how great it was to be on a small cat tour with just the four of us (ages 8 to 82) and a lovely couple from England. Would definitely recommend and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Christopher, for your care and attention and skill. You gave us a memory our family will love forever!
10/10!

Great experience! We were running late and the captain was very patient and calm with us. We were the only four on the boat and the captain did a great job explaining things along the coast as we sailed. My MIL had never snorkeled and he guided her the entire time in the water. He was also a fantastic bartender, making sure our drinks were fresh and full. 10/10 for Christopher!
