Snorkeling in Negril: Catamaran Cruise with Reef & Rick's CafeA full-day catamaran snorkeling cruise from Jamaica's North Coast to Negril includes bus pickup, time on 7 Mile Beach for lunch, an afternoon reef cruise with snorkel gear, drinks and live music, a stop at Rick's Cafe for sunset, and return transport. The catamaran departs in the afternoon after beach time; boarding requires wading into the water, so expect to get wet. Family-friendly departures run Mondays and Wednesdays; adults-only cruises sail Tuesday through Sunday.Is it for me?Book the Monday or Wednesday family-friendly departure if you're traveling with children; choose a Tuesday-Sunday adults-only cruise if you want the party atmosphere without kids. Either way, the fixed itinerary—bus, beach time, reef snorkeling, Rick's Cafe sunset, and return transport—means the whole day holds together without you arranging stops or timing.
