A turquoise ribbon of sea stretches to the horizon as the boat eases away from Grace Bay — the water so clear you can watch parrotfish graze the reef as the hull parts the surface. Over six hours this guided cruise stitches together the islands’ best shallow-water encounters: a reef drop-off dense with coral and snapper, the sandy approach to Little Water Cay where rock iguanas sun themselves, and a quiet cay for a beach barbecue.
