Select participants and date
The motor pings and the hull parts a band of glassy water as Providenciales slides away behind you—white-sand roofs shrinking, palms bowing in the trade winds. On a two-hour private charter from Grace Bay, the sea takes the lead: it dares you to step off the swim ladder and into shallow rooms of turquoise where coral gardens and a grounded shipwreck wait within a short cruise.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral and avoid it being washed off during snorkeling.
Wear water shoes
Shallow cays and rocky snorkel entries can be sharp—light water shoes protect feet when boarding and exploring.
Confirm pickup time and location
Operators typically pick up from Grace Bay hotels—arrive 10–15 minutes early at the confirmed pickup spot.
Use the captain’s advice on currents
Captains watch conditions and will advise when to skip a site if currents make snorkeling unsafe.
