Bolador Tours is a family owned Barbadian business offering personalised cruises. The 57 ft catamaran is unique as it was designed and built by a Barbadian as a performance catamaran.
Its layout is spacious with lots of seating along with two large netted areas for relaxation and sun bathing.
We limit the number of guests aboard which allows the Captain and crew to interact with everyone allowing them to share interesting facts about the island.
The tour includes:
Swimming with the turtles
Snorkelling over the shipwrecks
Bajan-styled buffet lunch
Open Bar
The tour balances adventure with relaxation, offering time to simply sail, relax on board, and enjoy island life.
Crew members are available to assist with gear, provide safety guidance along with information about the area and marine life.
The aim is to make the guests' day with us the most memorable day of their holiday!
Come join us!

What To Expect
Our driver will collect you from your designated spot and provide transport to our dock located in our capital, Bridgetown. Upon arrival, the check in process will be completed and you will be guided to board the catamaran. Our Captain and crew will welcome you aboard and before the tour commences a safety briefing and a run through of the features of the boat will be provided. Our adventure begins as we depart our dock and make our way to the Marine Park for the first and second stops which will each last for approximately 45 minutes. Our crew will accompany you as we explore the abundance of marine life underwater. The highlight of these two stops will be swimming with the turtles, seeing tropical fish, sting rays, corals, sea sponges, sea fans and snorkeling over the shipwrecks.
Barbados
Our journey continues as we sail along the coast towards our lunch stop, while you continue to soak up the island vibes by relaxing, listening to Caribbean music while keeping hydrated with our open bar options (sodas, juices, water, beer, rums including our famous rum punch made from an old family recipe). After we anchor in a bay, you have the opportunity to continue to socalise with other guests, relax or enjoy a swim, while our crew prepares to serve our freshly prepared Bajan-buffet styled meal. The duration of this stop is approximately one hour, after which our tour comes to an end as we return to our dock to meet your transport.

5.00Bolador Tours never disappoints . We spent another amazing day out on the water on their boat Imagine. We love this boat as it caters to small groups. As usual the crew were amazing, drinks flowed and lunch was delicious. Our snorkel stops were not rushed and safety was a priority. Husband and wife team of Sharon and Geoff are amazing. If you are looking for a small group, laid back day on the water, Bolador Tours is your go to. Thanks Bolador Tours for another amazing day.

5.00Absolutely 5 star experience all round. Small group, lots of space on board, excellent captain, and spotlessly clean toilet !! Also must mention the food - this was excellent, it was a help yourself buffet, with very good choice and enough for seconds. Three stops to snorkel, swim and view shipwrecks. Not our first tour with Bolador, and it wont be our last. Thank you so much for an enjoyable 5 hours. Dave & Deb Cooper UK

Wow - What A Brilliant Day on a Catamaran

5.00Wow, what a fantastic day!!! Me, my husband and our two friends booked this trip last minute as a last tour before we head home to England, and we are so glad we did. From being picked up from the hotel to going on the Catamaran and being dropped back off it was great. The whole catamaran experience was fantastic with brilliant crew and the whole day planned out to a tee. We saw turtles, flying fish, and such beautiful fish on the shipwreck and the coral reef. Lunch was excellent with plenty of choice. Cannot fault this trip what so ever. Thank you so so much for a fantastic day to you all. Lee & Vicky xx
Our last day, Our best day

5.00Absolutely fantastic, attentive, welcoming. The crew are definitely a team that work together. They are funny and the best at what they do, they are very reassuring when it comes the sea. The food we had for lunch was very nice and I much to choose from. Your glass is always full. I 100% recommend this team. Very well worth your money and your time.
