Cruise from Basseterre on a half-day catamaran with a snorkel stop at Shitten's Bay, lunch on board, and an open bar. Bluewater, Aqua, and Leeward sit as rates on the same product.
Meet at Port Zante or your listed pickup, then cruise along the Frigate Bay coast toward the south-east peninsula while the crew brief kit and the snorkel stop. Shoes come off on boarding. At Shitten's Bay the crew issue mask, fins, and snorkel. First-timers stay close to the hull, and stronger swimmers range a little further under instruction. Time in the sea is limited so lunch still fits the four-hour window, and you can skip the water if you prefer shade.
Lunch is served on the catamaran rather than on a Nevis beach, then you lounge with the open bar on the return to Basseterre. Drink water as well as bar drinks, and reapply sunscreen after you snorkel. You will be back with time left in the afternoon for other plans, which is why this ticket exists beside the seven-hour boat day.
You leave the Basseterre side and snorkel at Shitten's Bay, which you cannot drive to. Return is to the same marina area, so cruise guests can walk back to the berth if land transfer was not on their rate. The cove is the same named stop used on the longer boat day, reached only by water.
This is not the Nevis-start sail listed on some website pages. Pickup and dock details follow the live voucher, so do not wait at Frigate Bay beach unless that voucher says so. Confirm you are on the half-day rate so you are not mixed with the seven-hour group at the same dock.
You need to be happy on a moving deck. Snorkelling is optional. Infants sit on laps. Non-swimmers should stay on board at the water stop and use the shade and the bar instead of getting in.
Bring medication you need for four hours of sun and salt, plus swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen. The crew help with kit but will not force anyone in. Flag food allergies when you book, because this is a shared galley on a short run.
Kit, lunch, and the bar are on one shorter ticket, with the same named cove as the full-day boat. First-timers can stay next to the hull, so you do not need your own gear.
It fits a cruise afternoon or a hotel day when you do not want seven hours on the water. You still get a snorkel stop, a meal, and the open bar, without stacking a full-day sail onto a packed itinerary.
Meet at Port Zante or your listed pickup. The catamaran runs the coast from the Frigate Bay side toward the south-east peninsula while the crew brief kit and the snorkel stop.
Shoes come off on boarding. Confirm you are on the half-day rate so you are not mixed with the seven-hour group.
At Shitten's Bay the crew issue mask, fins, and snorkel. First-timers stay close to the hull. Stronger swimmers range a little further under instruction.
Do not touch coral. Skip the water if you prefer shade. Time in the sea is limited so lunch still fits the four-hour window.
Lunch is served on the catamaran. The open bar runs while you sit in shade on the return to Basseterre.
Drink water as well as bar drinks. You will be back with time left in the afternoon for other plans.
Plan for about four hours. You cruise from the Frigate Bay coast toward the south-east peninsula, snorkel at Shitten's Bay, then eat lunch on the catamaran with the open bar running.
It is the shorter water day. If you want Nevis beach time and a longer sail, book the full-day catamaran instead of stacking both on one morning.
Yes. Mask, fins, and snorkel are provided. The stop is Shitten's Bay, the same cove used on the longer boat day, reached only by water.
You can stay on deck if you do not want to get in. First-timers can remain close to the hull with a crew member nearby.
Lunch is served on the catamaran. The menu varies with the boat. The open bar is included on this product for the lounge stretch after you snorkel.
Flag allergies when you book. This is a shared galley, not a private chef service, so do not expect a custom plated menu.
Pickup is listed as available on this product. Confirm your hotel or ship name so the team can say whether your rate includes the van to Port Zante.
If you are already at the marina, you can go straight to the boat. Do not assume every rate includes land transfer.
Some website pages mention a Nevis-start sail. This listing leaves the Basseterre / Port Zante side and snorkels at Shitten's Bay, then returns to the same marina area.
Pickup and dock details follow the live voucher. Do not wait at Frigate Bay beach unless the voucher says so, because the cove itself is boat-access only.
There is no numeric minimum age. Infants sit on laps. Children who snorkel should be confident in the sea with crew nearby.
Strollers work on the dock, not on wet decks. Ask the crew about jackets on the day rather than assuming they are automatic.
This is the half-day ticket: snorkel, lunch, bar, and a shorter run. The full-day product adds more time on the water and, on some boats, a Nevis beach stop.
Do not book both for the same morning. Choose one water day so you are not double-charged for similar kit.
The boat stays along the coast. Decks still move and can be wet. Take seasickness tablets before boarding if you usually need them.
Shade is available. Sun on the water is stronger than it feels in the breeze, so reapply sunscreen after you snorkel.
Wind, lightning, or poor visibility can cancel the snorkel stop or the whole outing. The crew will not put people in unsafe water.
If the date cannot run, follow the checkout terms. Keep a spare afternoon in port if the forecast is poor.
Bring swimwear, cover-up, towel, sunscreen, and a dry pouch for phone and cards. Shoes come off when you board.
Leave spare clothes you care about at the hotel. Salt spray reaches the whole deck, including seats that look dry.
