What To Expect
Spend a full day on the water sailing between St. Kitts and Nevis aboard 65-foot catamaran Swaliga. Departing from Port Zante Marina in St. Kitts, just minutes from the cruise terminal, 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 had a lot of fun and it was nice being on the catamaran. Not too crowded which was great. Lots of drinking which wasn't my thing but my partner enjoyed it. I did like the punch that was made with coconut rum!
Fun catamaran day trip

5.00What a fabulous day out. A perfect way to see Nevis. The staff were so lovely and friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you board the boat. I was on my own but by the end had made lots of new friends. The snorkelling was great and loved going onto Nevis and Jack bringing the open bar to the beach. I also wanted to say thank you to Captain Phil as I had originally been booked in November but a last minute gallbladder operation meant I had to postpone my trip. Philip was super understanding and let me transfer to my new date. All in all highly recommend this trip. You won’t be disappointed.
A Beautiful Day on the Water

5.00The whole day was fabulous. The crew was very experienced and professional but still fun and entertaining. The snorkeling was very enjoyable and one of the crew members led anyone who wanted to follow over to a wreck to see a variety of fish and squid. Lunch was delectable. The whole cruise was just a lot of fun. Highly recommend
Open water fun!

5.00My husband and I had a fabulous time. The staff were fun, lively and very accommodating. The boat was beautiful and everyone easily found their spot. It did not feel crowded at all (it wasn’t). The food was phenomenally delicious and the of course the open bar was a plus for most. Snorkeling was great, we saw octopus, squid and many colorful fish. Great trip! Highly recommend!
Disappointment with St Kitts sailboat
Richard H,Feb 23, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00We booked the beautiful “sailing” catamaran shown in tour advertisement. Upon arrival the tour operator said oh you’re Viator so you’ll stay with this group, not go to the sailboat. The sailboat was overbooked and they put us on a different boat, a “powered” boat with no sail. I mentioned it to the tour operators but at that point what could I do, I didn’t want to make a scene and the captain of the sailboat never spoke to me even though I asked. When I booked the tour there were plenty of openings on the sailboat, so why were we switched, was it because we booked through Viator? The boat they put us on was a less expensive tour so I should at least be refunded the difference. The boat they put us on was “Orange Cat Charters”. They did a good job but they are not a sailboat. We sail at most ports when there is an opportunity a this was the only disappointment of our cruise. Oh and a staff member said the captain sent us a message days earlier, which was true but it didn’t mention overbooked, it only confirmed the meeting location. This was simply bait and switch, and I’ll not recommend this tour without warning about this situation. Thx Richard Henderson
It was a great calm day relaxing on the boat!

5.00My husband and I enjoyed our day on the boat. Captain Mike was great. His love for the island was so nice to hear. He took us to a few spots that were beautiful. The snorkeling area was quiet and intimate for our group. You also had the option to just chill out on a little raft attached to the boat if you didn’t feel like snorkeling. My husband enjoyed snorkeling.
Excursion Not As Advertised

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00Excursion was not as advertised. The tour was on a Power Catamaran and not a Catamaran as pictured in the listing. Seating was uncomfortable causing neck and back discomfort. The Captain stated he was an “add on” as he was helping a friend. Because it was a Power Catamaran we ended up with way too much time (90 minutes) on the beach at Nevis. On a normal catamaran with sails, we would have spent more time in transit, enjoying a much slower paced sail.
Great time with Aquamax catamaran excursion

5.00Follow Google Maps pin drop to the docking area. The guard house is the entry to the harbor shopping area off to the left after you exit the pavilion into the shopping mall from the cruise ships. The crew is friendly and the catamaran is spacious enough. It rained the entire time and we could shelter under the roof. But we embraced the bar and music and had a blast. Snorkeling was easy in and easy out.
