Set sail from Bávaro for a 3-hour VIP catamaran that mixes guided snorkeling, a natural pool stop with a floating bar, unlimited drinks, and lively music. Perfect for families or adults-only parties, the cruise balances relaxed swims with customizable private-tour options.

The catamaran slips from the marina and the shoreline of Bávaro slides aft: white-sand resorts shrink, palm crowns sway, and the Caribbean water opens into a wide, turquoise stage. Guests feel the steady push of the sea as music and laughter fill the deck, then the boat eases into a shallow natural pool where a floating bar rocks gently and the day slows to a warm, salty tempo.
