The guide speaks English and the boat carries water toys for all skill levels. Children from age 3 are welcome with an adult. Air-conditioned cabin and toilet facilities are available on board.

The experience

The yacht departs with a complimentary rum punch in hand as you cruise past islands along the North West Coast and into the Gulf of Paria. The three-hour window catches the sunset, and the boat makes stops at secluded bays where you get in the water: kayak, paddleboard, bodyboard or float, depending on what appeals. These bays are only reachable by boat, so the swimming happens in places you would not find on your own.

Water toys are on board: standup paddleboards, kayaks, body boards and floats. You choose what to use at each stop. No experience is required. The yacht has an air-conditioned cabin if you want a break from the sun, and toilet facilities are available. Bottled water and snacks come with the cruise, along with the rum punch at the start. Optional local music plays during the sail.
