Spend a full day on a catamaran from Anses d’Arlet exploring reefs by snorkel, guided baptism dive, or paddle — finish ashore with a barbecue in the village. Flexible activities, certified instructors, and optional private charters make this a balanced sea day for families and adventure seekers.

The catamaran slips away from the shoreline with the late-morning sun burning a path across the water. Salt air threads through the rigging, and the hull rocks a steady welcome as turquoise reefs pull into view between Pointe Burgos and Pointe Lézarde. Fish flash in quick, bright bursts; the ocean seems to dare you toward the surface and below.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect the reef and your skin — apply before boarding and reapply after swimming to avoid sunburn on the boat.
Secure a snug mask
The operator provides snorkel gear, but if you use your own mask, a good fit prevents fogging and leakage during dives.
Hydrate and eat light
A light breakfast and regular water keep energy up — motion on a catamaran and ocean sun can dehydrate you quickly.
Declare medical conditions for dives
