Sail west from Montego Bay to Negril on a reggae-fueled catamaran—snorkel coral gardens, enjoy a buffet and open bar, and stop near Rick’s Cafe for cliff-side views. A lively half-day at sea that mixes reef time with music and local flavor.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slides from Montego Bay’s harbor with a low reggae pulse and the sea opening like an invitation. Salt air pushes against the hull, and the coastline unfolds — sandy shoals, rumpled reefs, and the distant silhouette of Negril’s seven-mile shore. Onboard, laughter and the hiss of the open bar mix with the impatient splashes of swimmers first to the rail.
