Step-by-step itinerary

Luxury coastal cruise and sunset

• Embark on Barbados coastline cruise
• Snorkel and swim at stops
• Enjoy drinks and gourmet tapas
• Toast sunset with champagne

The Experience

The boat leaves in the evening and heads out along the Barbados coastline. You'll have designated stops where you can dive in with snorkeling gear and explore the water at your own pace, then swim or float between those moments. The upper-level deck gives you a vantage point for the whole experience — both when you're on board and when the sun starts dropping toward the horizon.

The bar runs throughout the cruise: vodka, whisky, rum, rum punch, red and white wine, and soft drinks are all unlimited. Gourmet tapas come out in platters, and when the sunset hits, champagne appears for a proper toast. The boat has a restroom on board, and the crew keeps the group small — never more than 15 people — so the whole thing stays unhurried and personal.

Bring your own towel and sunscreen; the snorkeling equipment is supplied. The minimum age is 18. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need them to reach the departure point.
