The Experience

You're picked up from your hotel or the nearest beach, and within minutes you're standing on a boat with a Seabob F5 S jet in your hands — a personal watercraft that changes what snorkeling actually covers. The tour runs 2.5 hours, three times daily at 8:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 3:45 pm, and the first stop is the Antilla shipwreck itself, sitting intact on the seafloor after 80 years. Visibility is usually excellent, and the wreck is wrapped in coral growth and fish — angelfish, parrotfish, squid — all of it visible without the exhaustion of a long swim.

From there you move to Boca Catalina, a shallow reef where the water is clear enough to spot butterflyfish and octopus without strain. The Seabob lets you cover reef areas that would take hours on fins alone, so you're not fighting fatigue — you're gliding. After Boca Catalina comes Tres Trapi, a small sandy cove tucked under limestone overhang where hundreds of red cushion starfish sit on the white sand floor. This is also where the sea turtles hang out, and swimming alongside them is the moment most people talk about afterward.

The tour wraps at Arashi Beach Shack, a casual spot where you can sit, dry off, and process what you just saw. Beverages are included throughout, snorkel masks and all gear are provided, and your guide is trained on the Seabob and the reef itself — so you're not figuring out the jet or the route on your own. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off means no transport logistics to arrange.

What’s included

Your tour includes hotel or port pickup and drop-off, a 2.5-hour guided experience on the Seabob F5 S jet, snorkel mask and full snorkeling gear, bottled water throughout, access to bathroom facilities, and a professionally trained guide who navigates the four stops: the Antilla shipwreck, Boca Catalina reef, Tres Trapi cove, and Arashi Beach Shack.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to see the Antilla wreck and multiple reef zones in one morning or afternoon without arranging your own boat, gear, or navigation — the Seabob and the guide's route are what make covering four stops in 2.5 hours possible instead of a half-day affair.
