The catamaran slips out of the marina and the Caribbean stretches in a single bright sheet—salt on your lips, wind in the rigging, and sunlight flickering off low reef tops. You ride the swell toward Punta Sam Reef, trade the murmur of the party deck for a short plunge into warm water teeming with parrotfish and cuttle-edged coral, then climb back aboard to a chilled drink and the smell of grilled buffet on the beach club beyond.

Snorkeling is limited to swimmers, children 10+ with guardian supervision, and guests under 59 only—confirm if you plan to join.
Plan for a long day
This is a 9‑hour excursion—bring a lightweight cover-up, motion remedy if prone to seasickness, and a towel.
Swimsuit & quick-dry clothing
Wear under a cover-up so you can move between deck and beach club comfortably.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and prevents sunburn during long exposure on deck and in shallow water.
Mask/snorkel (optional)
Many tours provide basic gear, but a well-fitting personal mask improves comfort and visibility.
Light windbreaker or cover-up
Evenings and open water breezes can be cool—handy for the sunset leg back to port.
