The first sight that registers is the water — a hard, bright blue that seems to push toward the horizon, inviting and impatient. You step onto Island Vibez and feel the boat answer, a low, confident hum; the bimini casts a calm shade as the captain trims the motor and points the bow toward a string of islets and limestone cliffs. Salt airs thread through conversation, and the sea begins to tell you where the day will go: caves to explore, a wreck to circle, cliffs that dare you to jump.

Adventure Tips
Bring your own snorkel set
Masks and snorkels fit better when they’re yours — fog less and seal better, especially around a wreck and coral heads.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and protect your skin; apply at least 15 minutes before entering the water to avoid streaks in photos.
Wear water shoes
Rocky landings and coral near the shore make sturdy water shoes useful for beach exits and cave entries.
Confirm pickup point
If arriving by cruise ship, select '4 Camber Road' for Dockyard pickup and look for the tan bimini marked 'Bermudaful Charters.'
