The experience
Nessebar's harbor is where your day begins. A driver picks you up from your resort and brings you to the catamaran, which departs with a welcome drink and a safety briefing before the two-and-a-half-hour crossing to Saint Anastasia Island. The boat's bar stays open the whole time, stocked with coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, and wine. You help yourself as the Black Sea passes around you.
Once you reach the island, you have two hours to move at your own pace. Swim in the secluded beach's clear water, walk the island's natural landscape, or simply sit and let the quiet settle in. The museum on the island is included in your ticket. It holds pirate treasures and other artifacts that trace the island's history. There's no schedule pushing you. You decide how to spend the time.
Lunch arrives on board during the return sail to Nessebar, so you eat with a view instead of against a clock. The catamaran docks back at the harbor by late afternoon, and your driver is waiting to take you back to your resort. The whole day runs about seven and a half hours from pickup to drop-off.
