You’ll feel the hush of Pine Cay’s deserted beach under your feet before drifting toward Grace Bay Beach for one of those sunsets that makes you forget your phone exists. Drinks and snacks are always within reach, and there’s an easy warmth from the local crew that sticks with you long after you’re back on land.
I didn’t know what to expect when we climbed onto the Big Ben catamaran in Turks & Caicos — I just remember feeling sort of weightless, like I’d left all my usual worries at the dock. The crew grinned at us as we kicked off our shoes. There was this salty breeze that made my hair stick up and the sun was still high but soft, not harsh. We set out toward Pine Cay first, passing these little patches of turquoise that almost looked fake (they’re not, by the way). Someone handed me a cold drink before I even thought to ask. I’m not sure what it was — rum maybe? It tasted sweet and sharp at once.
Pine Cay itself felt like a secret. We hopped off for a bit, toes sinking into sand that’s somehow both cool and warm at once. Our guide — I think his name was Marcus? — told us how locals come here when they want real quiet. He laughed when I tried to repeat “Pine Cay” with his accent (I definitely didn’t nail it). There wasn’t much talking; just the sound of water lapping and someone opening another bottle somewhere behind me. Honestly, I could’ve stayed there for hours but apparently Grace Bay Beach is where you want to be for sunset on a private catamaran tour in Turks & Caicos.
The ride over was slow in that perfect way where you don’t really care about time. The sky started changing — pinks and golds sneaking in around us while we drifted closer to Grace Bay. Snacks came out (simple stuff, nothing fancy but somehow exactly what you want after salty air), and everyone kind of settled into their own quiet spot on deck. When the sun finally dropped below the horizon, it felt like everything paused for a second. Not dramatic or anything — just… peaceful. I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy back home.
