Charter a private crewed catamaran to secluded coves invisible from the main beaches, snorkeling reef walls in near-empty water before a champagne sunset sail back.
What to expect
You board a private catamaran with just your own party and crew, cruising past Pinel Island and Tintamarre to quiet snorkel sites. Lunch and drinks are served aboard as the boat repositions to calmer, clearer water in the afternoon. The day closes with an unhurried sail back into Simpson Bay as the sky turns orange.

Good to know
Charters run 9am–3pm typically; confirm pickup dock near the cruise pier and build in a 90-minute buffer before all-aboard. Book several weeks ahead in high season.
