Set sail on a private catamaran from Basseterre to the shimmering twin bays of Frigate Bay and a hidden cove accessible only by sea — snorkeling, paddleboarding, and a champagne sunset on board.
What to expect
Departing from the marina steps from the cruise pier, your catamaran slips past the green shoulders of Timothy Hill before rounding into the glittering South Frigate Bay, where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet in a dramatic collision of color. Snorkeling gear, paddleboards and kayaks are all on deck; expert guides point out hawksbill sea turtles that frequent the bay with remarkable regularity. A freshly prepared spread of local fruits, lobster bites and rum punch is laid out on deck as you drift toward a hidden cove marked on no tourist map. The return sail at golden hour — with the twin peaks of St. Kitts and Nevis silhouetted against an amber sky — is one of the Caribbean's great visual moments.
Good to know
Blue Water Safaris departs from the Port Zante marina — no transfer required. Book the private charter configuration for the most exclusive experience. Half-day tours return well before standard all-aboard times; confirm your specific sailing departure with the operator.
