What To Expect
Departing from Port Zante Marina, a short walk from the St. Kitts cruise terminal, spend a full day sailing between St. Kitts and Nevis aboard the 65-foot catamaran Swaliga. This experience is timed to ensure a relaxed return to port. Settle into a comfortable spot on deck and enjoy open-air views as you cruise along the coastline toward your first stop. Drop anchor at a sheltered snorkel site where you can swim in clear Caribbean water and explore the reef with provided gear. Back on board, the crew serves a freshly prepared lunch before you continue toward Nevis for beach time and island views. Throughout the day, the professional crew focuses on safety, comfort, and timing, so you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and make the most of your time on both islands. This full-day experience is a strong fit for couples, families, and small groups who want sailing, snorkeling, and beach time in one trip. In rare operational circumstances, a comparable catamaran may be used and guests are notified in advance.

5.00We did a six hour cruise with Aquamax Adventures on 06/25/2026. We had a blast! The Captain Phil and crew were amazing! We made two stops. The first stop was for snorkeling. Beautiful clear water filled with tropical fish. The second stop was at Pinney’s Beach on Nevis home of the famous “Killer Bee” Rum Punch. It is recommended to have only one and two at the max. Someone in our party had three and it didn’t work out well🤪. The crew kept us entertained and the lunch was yummy! We highly recommend Aquamax Adventures!
Outstanding day on the water.

5.00Awesome day with captain Phil and his outstanding crew. They emphasized safety but I guarantee we had more fun than anyone else out on water yesterday. Food and drink was tasty and plentiful. Our best day of week on the island. Thanks to captain and crew. Ps book on their website directly. Cheers, Size 14

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked a private power catamaran with Aquamax Adventures in St. Kitts and Nevis and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The crew was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind, making sure we were comfortable and having a great time throughout the day. We snorkeled near a shipwreck, which was such a unique and exciting experience, and then visited a beautiful reef where we saw starfish up close. We also stopped at a beach with a fun restaurant called Rainbow, where we enjoyed great food and a relaxed atmosphere. The entire trip was well-paced, and we still had plenty of time afterward to explore and shop in the large port area. Everything was organized perfectly, and the crew made the day feel effortless and enjoyable. We highly recommend Aquamax Adventures for anyone visiting St. Kitts and Nevis and would absolutely book with them again!
Fantastic sailing trip

1.00Our experience with AquaMax Adventures was incredibly disappointing. Before booking, I specifically called in February (for an excursion in May) because I was concerned about the excursion timing and our cruise ship’s all-aboard deadline. I explained my concerns about whether the catamaran excursion would allow enough time for us to return safely to the ship. Phil personally assured me that it would not be a problem, so we booked based on that reassurance. The excursion didn't take place - and we were notified when my group of 11 arrived at the port, and the way it was handled was far worse than the cancellation itself. We received no updates, no advance notification, and no communication regarding potential issues. When we arrived, we tried to compromise, asking if they kept our money if they could simply shorten the tour - we just wanted to snorkel! The staff was unwilling to compromise, and we later learned that the captain had already left on another charter - literally 'jumping ship' on our situation, and leaving two female employees at the dock to deal with frustrated customers. Where was Phil? Apparently in England, and still hasn't answered or returned my phone calls. What was most frustrating was the complete absence of customer service afterward. There was no apology for the inconvenience, no acknowledgment of the disruption to our vacation plans, and no proactive effort to communicate with customers who had spent their time and money booking this experience. Excursions can be cancelled for legitimate reasons, and most travelers understand that. What is difficult to understand is the lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer care. Based on our experience, I recommend continuing your search for a reliable company who communicates with their customers, and one who doesn't throw their staff to the wolves in difficult situations. Needless to say, I was less than amused and not impressed.
Awesome trip! Staff was...

Don’t even THINK about booking with them

1.00We booked in February of 2026 for a late May trip while in port on the Royal Caribbean Star of the Seas. Because we would be on a non-ship booked excursion, we HAD to be back to board on time. Because of this, we called Phil and explained what ship we would arrive on and the requirement to be back in time. Would that be guaranteed to work? He said it would, no problems. The Celebrity Beyond docked next to us. Upon arriving at the pier we were told by Phil’s representative that they could not guarantee that we would be back in time because she had just found out at 4am that there were other ships in for the day and she didn’t know where all of her paid guests were coming from and she could not shorten the excursion for us because other guests might be planning on coming back later. The bottom line is that these people in our experience can not be trusted and buyer beware! If you want to book with them only to find out the morning of your trip with them that your trip is cancelled and your plans made months ahead of time for the day are ruined and everyone in your party is hurt and mad and upset and now you have no plans for the day - go ahead. We would tell you NOT to book with them. So would the other 50 or so clients on their list for that day! It was so bad that the captain for the day, seeing what was happening, left and got another boat to captain for the day. He had obviously seen this scenario before. Do what you will, but don’t say you weren’t warned!! No wonder RC and Celebrity don’t book tours through them either. No any of the other two cruise lines in for the day.

1.00DO NOT book this tour if with a cruise. Confirmed with Phil 4 months in advance over the phone that we would be back to the ship on time only to find a lady greeting us with a BS story about how our ship itinerary had changed, it had Not changed, and Phil was in England and blah blah blah, only to cancel our entire excursion. There was absolutely no customer service or solutions involved other to send the groups away (who were all from the same ship and just wanted to go out on the catamaran to snorkel for a bit… which wasn’t even an option when the captain, who apparently is Phil’s son, ended up leaving to take some other guy to Nevis. The whole thing was very disappointing and ended with children in tears. Just avoid them. Would leave 0 stars but that’s not an option so I suppose 1 star for the credit card refund which we would have done on our own anyway. 👎
Mut do if you want to see Nevis and St. Kitts-best beaches

5.00This was one of the best trips we have taken on a catamaran, and we have done at least six trips on other islands. The crew was so much fun, the food was delicious, the stops were awesome and the rum punch will knock you out. They played music which was suitable for all on our tour. They helped with everything and it was just like being on a Ritz Carlton with the service :)
