Sail from Montego Bay to Negril for snorkeling, beach time at Seven Mile, and the famous Rick’s Cafe sunset with DJs and an open bar. This four-hour cruise balances reef exploration and a lively cliffside finale — plan for IDs, reef-safe sunscreen, and possible bus transfer if seas are rough.

The catamaran slips from Montego Bay harbor under a sun that presses the sea into a sheet of molten turquoise. Laughter and a playlist from the on-board DJ push the boat forward, while the coast slides by — low scrub, past small fishing villages, and the wide sweep of Seven Mile Beach where powdery white sand invites a quick shore stop.
