The catamaran is anchored right up to the beach, where our guests step off the boat into shallow water and spend about 2 hours walking on the beach, beachcombing, and swimming in the crystal clear waters. Snorkeling instruction is offered at this time for our adventurous guests. Onboard, we serve a Lunch Buffet of fresh fruits, fresh-baked breads, sliced deli meats, cheeses, tuna or crab salad, gourmet pasta salad, coleslaw and chips. Sodas, water, juices, Piña Coladas, our famous Tropical Rum Punch and beer are always available along with chips. Cash bar for beer and mixed drinks available.
