Cruising along the west coast of Barbados on a 60-foot catamaran is an experience worth trying. With two or three stops for snorkeling, one at a shipwreck and the other at a place famous for sea turtles, this tour provides a close encounter with marine life. The tour is available for either three or five hours and includes unlimited drinks and a light breakfast, while the five-hour tour also features lunch.
The El Tigre Catamaran Sailing Cruises is a 60-foot long and 24-foot wide schooner, which can accommodate up to 50 passengers, but the tour is limited to only 36 guests to provide more space and comfort. Upon arrival, guests can choose to sit in one of the shaded areas or lie out in the sun while enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of juice, rum punch, or beer, along with a slice of coconut bread.
After leaving the marina, the cruise heads down the west coast of Barbados, offering guests a chance to admire the picturesque coastline and the sea breeze on their face. The first snorkeling spot allows for an opportunity to see sea turtles, while the second spot offers the chance to explore a shipwreck that has become a habitat for many tropical fish.
Guests on the five-hour tour continue to a third location where they stop to enjoy lunch before returning to the starting point. The three-hour tour ends at a west coast beach, where the transportation is waiting to take guests back to their hotel.
Overall, the tour provides an opportunity to see the stunning west coast of Barbados from a different perspective while snorkeling and enjoying a leisurely catamaran cruise. With positive reviews from past guests praising the crew’s hospitality and the beauty of the marine life on display, this tour is a must-try for anyone visiting Barbados.
