Board a sleek luxury catamaran, sail to Antigua's most vibrant coral gardens for a guided snorkel, then anchor in a turquoise cove for a freshly grilled lobster lunch with rum punch flowing freely. The quintessential Antigua bucket-list afternoon.
What to expect
You step aboard at the Heritage Quay dock and settle into the nets as the sails are raised and Antigua's coastline begins to glide past. The marine guide briefs you on the reef ecosystem before anchoring over the coral gardens, where parrotfish, sergeant majors, and the occasional turtle drift beneath you. After snorkelling, the crew grills lobster tails and fresh catch on the boat's barbecue, plating them with rice, salad, and roasted vegetables. The sail back to harbour, rum punch in hand and the trade wind in your hair, is the stuff of Caribbean daydreams.
Good to know
Departures typically at 9 am and 1 pm; the half-day format works well for cruise schedules. Book the lobster option in advance — it sells out first. Bring a dry bag for your phone and camera. Snorkel gear is provided, but bringing your own mask ensures the perfect fit.
