Sosua Catamaran Party Cruise: Snorkeling, BBQ & Open‑Bar Adventure
Select participants and date
You step off the shaded stretch of Sosua Beach into a swell of sound — reggaetón pulsing, crew calling, laughter folding into the wind. The catamaran rocks gently as it casts off, sails catching a brisk Caribbean breeze that seems to dare you to relax. Within minutes white sand drops away and the coastline becomes a low ribbon; the water opens and the reef calls.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect yourself and the coral by using only reef‑safe sunscreen; apply 20 minutes before going in the water.
Wear water shoes
A lightweight pair makes boarding easier and protects feet on rocky entry points at some snorkel stops.
Secure valuables
Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag — the bow is great for photos but also for spray.
Mind your alcohol intake
Enjoy the open bar but pace yourself before snorkeling and while climbing the ladder back on board.
