Your own boat in Bermuda: three hours sailing, swimming and snorkeling without the crowds

You get a private boat for up to fifteen people with pickup at the cruise terminal, three hours of sailing to hidden coves, and access to snorkeling gear, SUP boards and kayaks. Swimming and cliff jumping are optional. Catering can be arranged separately, and you control the music and the pace—what keeps this different from a group tour is that it's yours alone.

The Experience

The catamaran cuts through turquoise water, salt spray catching the light, and you're standing at the bow watching the coastline drop away. This is a private charter—your boat, your pace, your playlist on the Bluetooth system—and it holds up to fifteen people, which means you're not jammed onto a tour boat with forty strangers. The pickup happens at the cruise ship terminal in Dockyard or Hamilton Harbor, so if you're in port or staying nearby, you're on the water within minutes instead of waiting for a shuttle to round up other groups.

The three-hour private catamaran charter in Bermuda moves at Island Time, which is to say it doesn't move much at all unless you want it to. Your captain sails to a hidden cove—the kind of place the big tour boats don't reach—and then the choice is yours: jump in for a swim, strap on a snorkel and watch the reef life move below you, or take out the SUP and paddle into the shallows. The boat carries all the gear: snorkeling equipment, crystal kayaks, stand-up paddleboards. There's a restroom on board, a gas grill if you've arranged catering in advance, and a large cooler. If you want to bring your own food or have the crew arrange something, that's a separate conversation—but the idea is you're not eating a sad sandwich from a plastic box.

Cliff jumping is there if you want it, though it's optional and takes more nerve than the swimming does. The boat has a cash bar for drinks, or you can bring your own music and let the afternoon dissolve into whatever rhythm feels right. Because it's private, you can linger at one spot instead of moving to the next photo stop, or you can ask the captain to take you somewhere else entirely. The catamaran itself holds up to twenty-five people, so even if you book for fewer, there's room to spread out and not feel crowded.

What’s included

Your three-hour private catamaran charter includes pickup at the cruise ship terminal in Dockyard or Hamilton Harbor, use of snorkeling equipment, SUP boards and crystal kayaks, a Bluetooth audio system for your music, onboard restroom, ice and a gas grill. Catering and beverages beyond the cash bar are available by prior arrangement and billed separately.
