Private Island Hopping: Prickly Pear & Sandy Island by Catamaran

Sail aboard a private catamaran to two of Anguilla's most spectacular uninhabited cays — Sandy Island and Prickly Pear — where powdery white sand meets impossible shades of turquoise. Snorkel pristine reefs, sip chilled rum punch, and feel utterly alone in paradise.

What to expect

Your captain departs Road Bay and skims across glassy Caribbean waters to Sandy Island, a postcard-perfect ribbon of sand ringed by healthy coral. After snorkelling and swimming there, you sail on to Prickly Pear's twin beaches, where lunch and fresh lobster can be arranged. The return leg often catches a perfect trade-wind breeze, making the sail itself a bucket-list moment.

Good to know

Sandy Island is about 15 minutes from Road Bay by boat — ideal for tight port schedules. Pre-book a private charter to guarantee departure times that work around your all-aboard. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and cash for the lobster lunch add-on at Prickly Pear.
