The Experience

The Casador is a heavy, stable motor sailing yacht built to handle smaller groups without the rush of larger tours. You start in Spanish waters, where the boat moves slowly past the houses and landscape along the coast before reaching the snorkeling zone. The operator gives you a choice of where to enter the water—different reefs and depths to suit what you want to see—and provides snorkeling equipment, inflatable loungers and water toys to use during the stop.

Once you've finished in the water, the boat heads to Fuik Bay, where the crew prepares a barbecue on deck: chicken skewers, Angus burgers, red snapper salad and fresh fruit, all cooked to order. The open bar runs throughout the day with beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks and Caribbean rum punch. After lunch, the sails come out for the return to Spanish waters—a relaxed finish in water calm enough that seasickness is not a concern. The whole tour runs 4 hours, and the crew will adjust the stops or timing if you ask.

A live guide speaks English, Spanish or Dutch. Bring your own beach towel, sunscreen, camera and hat; scuba equipment can be rented separately if you want to go deeper than snorkeling allows.
