The experience
The catamaran leaves Port Zante Marina, adjacent to the cruise pier, and sails down the southeast peninsula of St Kitts. After a leisurely passage, the crew anchors in Shitten Bay, a secluded cove named for the 17th-century English word for the acacia trees on shore. You put on supplied snorkel gear and enter the water to explore massive boulders and the marine life around them: snappers, damsels, trumpet fish, angelfish, and several species of parrot fish. The crew stays attentive in the water, and the snorkel portion is the focus before any alcohol service begins.
Once back aboard, you settle into the open bar (rum punch, other Caribbean drinks, whatever you choose), as the boat sails toward Nevis. Pinney's Beach, on the sister island, is where the afternoon unfolds: swim in the shallows, walk the sand, or venture to the Four Seasons Resort boutique or Sunshine's beach bar, famous for its Killer Bee cocktail. The crew keeps the vibe going with music and fresh drinks, and lunch is served during the day. The sail back to St Kitts happens in real Caribbean party mode, with the crew ensuring everyone has a beverage and the tunes keep playing.
Seven hours total. Bring a swimsuit, towel, and sun protection. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Infants ride on a lap. The crew speaks English throughout. Hotel pickup and drop-off can be added at checkout if you're not staying near the port.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks English, so commentary and safety instructions are clear for anyone who doesn't speak another language. The crew stays in the water with you during the snorkel, which suits anyone new to snorkeling or wanting reassurance in the open ocean.
