What To Expect
Rising Son Cruises
Your Bermuda sailing adventure leaves from King’s Wharf in the parish of Sandys, on Bermuda’s northwest tip. After boarding your catamaran — the Rising Son II — set sail into the Great Sound. Sail for about an hour as you head toward a secluded swimming spot; during your time on the boat, just relax and enjoy the views. Lounge on one of the trampolines, soak up the sun on the upper deck or enjoy the shade in the cockpit. When you reach the swimming site, the crew will throw the anchor overboard and give you a quick safety briefing and snorkeling instructions. Then put on your provided mask, fins and snorkel and jump into the water! Snorkel above the nearby reef, checking out the local marine life, or if you prefer not to snorkel, you can use the boat’s kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore the bay, nearby beach and sandbar. You have 1.5 hours of playtime here, after which you’ll climb back on the catamaran for a refreshing ‘rum swizzle’ cocktail. During the cruise back to the wharf, get ready for another evening in paradise with additional drinks from the onboard bar (own expense). Tropical music on board will put you in the island spirit!

5.00These were a great bunch of young guys who were really fun but very knowledgeable! We didn’t end up snorkeling but just floated around in the lagoon area. They served us rum swizzles while we out there! Drinks were weak but we weren’t there for that anyway. We didn’t take advantage but they also had a kayak and a paddle board for people to try. Great time in Bermuda! Thanks!
Awesome Time!

5.00Had a great time out on the water with Brandon and Khalil as our crew and your guides. Saw lots of fish and coral. Enjoyed well made rum swizzles and good music on our way back to the harbour.

5.00We arrived on a Norweigan cruise ship and instead of paying the ships price I went through Trip Advisor instead. It was $30/pp less and Rising Sun is on the next pier from Norweigan. The Captain and the 2 other ship mates were very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe. I have a deaf daughter so I made sure they knew that she couldn't hear them yelling if there was an emergency. One of the workers had a deaf niece so he understood my fear and made it his job to keep an eye out for her. It was reassuring! It was a great day!!
Fun time

5.00BIG FUN! Beautiful boat and terrific crew. The owner "Squid" is hilarious and we smiled and laughed during the whole trip. We also felt extremely safe. The trip is about 3 hours and a highlight of our vacation. Generous drinks and good vibes all around.
A party on the water!

5.00What a fantastic time on a really fun boat, the crew were brilliant, a lovely little cove for snorkelling or kayaking and added bonus seeing the international sailing GP from the water! Drinks were plentiful and the music was great - an amazing atmosphere and the best afternoon for our last day in Bermuda - thoroughly recommend to anyone!
Best time on the island
