The Experience

The usual boat tour here runs on a fixed schedule with thirty other people. This charter flips that: you book the boat for your group alone, and the day becomes what you want it to be. The operator uses their snorkel cruises, conch experiences and beach stops as a starting point, but you tell them what matters — whether that's a morning at Grace Bay, an afternoon hunting for rays and turtles, a long lunch on a sandbar, or a mix of all three. The guide is local and speaks English, and the boat holds up to 12 people, so the whole group fits without splitting up.

Hotel pickup and drop-off bookend the day, and the boat comes stocked: open bar throughout, lunch, snacks, and all the snorkeling equipment you need. Eight hours on the water means you're not rushing between stops or watching the clock for a departure time. The group sets the rhythm. If someone wants to stay longer at one beach or skip a planned stop, the guide adjusts. If the water is calm and the snorkeling is good, you stay. If the wind picks up or the group is tired, you head back early.

One practical note: the price shown is for the group up to 12 people, not per person. If you're bringing more than 8, each additional person is $99 — call ahead so the operator can confirm the boat and crew are set up for your exact headcount.

Top questions

What's included in the full-day private charter?

The charter includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a local English-speaking guide, lunch, snacks, an open bar for the full eight hours, and all snorkeling equipment. Gratuities are not included.

How many people can fit on the boat?

The boat holds up to 12 people, and the price shown covers that full capacity as one group. Additional guests beyond 8 are $99 per person.

Can we customize the stops and activities?

Yes — that's the point of the private charter. The operator uses snorkeling, conch cruises and beach stops as a foundation, but you decide what your group wants to do, and the guide shapes the day around those interests. Use the comments section when you book to tell them what matters to you.

What is Grace Bay Beach like?

Grace Bay is a long, calm stretch of sand on the north shore of Providenciales, known for clear shallow water and soft sand. It's the base for this charter and often a stop on the day, though your group decides how much time to spend there.

How long is the charter, and what time does it start?

The charter runs for eight hours. Hotel pickup is included, so the operator will collect you from your accommodation and return you at the end of the day; confirm your hotel and preferred start time when you book.

Is this suitable for families with young children?

Yes — infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and the tour is suitable for all fitness levels. Let the operator know about any dietary needs when you book so lunch can be arranged accordingly.
