Leave Port Zante on a catamaran for a day with a snorkel stop at Shitten's Bay, lunch (on board or becah in Nevis) and an open bar. You stay with the crew from the marina briefing through the water stop and the run home.
Meet at Port Zante Marina, leave your shoes with the crew, and hear the safety brief before the catamaran leaves the harbour and runs the Caribbean coast. The snorkel stop is Shitten's Bay, where the crew issue mask, fins, and snorkel. First-timers can stay close to the hull and get help putting kit on in the water, and stronger swimmers can range a little further under instruction.
Look for reef fish such as snappers, damsels, and trumpetfish, and leave coral and turtles alone. You can skip the water and stay on deck if you prefer shade. Lunch is served on board or on a Nevis beach, depending on the boat that day, and the open bar runs through the lounge stretch before you sail or motor back along the same coast to Port Zante. Drink water as well as bar drinks, because sun on the water is stronger than it feels in the breeze.
Port Zante Marina sits next to the cruise berth in Basseterre. The snorkel stop is Shitten's Bay on the south-east peninsula, which you reach by sea rather than by road, so there is no self-drive to the cove. The boat stays inshore along the coast rather than making an ocean crossing.
Nevis beach time is not guaranteed on every boat. The live voucher tells you which catamaran you are on and whether lunch is on deck or ashore. Once you are back in Basseterre, the marina is a short walk from the town and the berth.
You need to be happy on a moving deck. Snorkelling is optional, and first-timers are assisted, but nobody is forced in. Infants sit on laps. If you cannot swim, stay on the boat for the water stop and enjoy the shade and the bar instead.
Bring any medication you need for a full day in sun and salt, plus swimwear, a cover-up, towel, and sunscreen. Shoes come off when you board. Tell the team about serious food allergies when you book, because this is a shared galley rather than a private chef service.
Kit, lunch, and the open bar sit on one ticket, with a named snorkel cove rather than a random drift stop and beach stop in Nevis the sister island. First-time snorkelers can stay next to the boat, so you do not need your own gear or a separate lesson.
The same crew stay with you from the marina briefing through the water stop and the run home. You get a full day on the water without stacking a separate snorkel ticket and a separate lunch boat.
Meet at Port Zante Marina, leave shoes with the crew, and hear the safety brief before the catamaran leaves the harbour.
Confirm the boarding time on your voucher so you are not still on the dock when the lines come off.
The crew issue mask, fins, and snorkel at Shitten's Bay. First-timers stay near the boat. Stronger swimmers can range a little further under instruction.
Look for reef fish such as snappers and damsels. Do not touch coral or turtles. Skip the water if you prefer to stay dry.
Lunch is served on board or on a Nevis beach, depending on the boat. The open bar runs through the lounge stretch. Then you sail or motor back along the same coast to Port Zante.
Drink water as well as bar drinks. The sun on the water is stronger than it feels in the breeze.
Plan for about six to seven hours from marina briefing to return. You sail the Caribbean coast, snorkel at Shitten's Bay, then eat lunch on board or on a Nevis beach depending on which boat is running that day.
The open bar runs through the lounge part of the outing. Exact dock times sit on the live booking for your date, so check the voucher the evening before.
Yes. Masks, fins, and snorkels are handed out by the crew at Shitten's Bay. First-time snorkelers can stay near the boat and get help putting kit on in the water.
You can skip the water and stay on deck. There is no pressure to snorkel if you prefer shade and the bar.
Lunch is included. It may be served on the boat or on the beach in Nevis, depending on which catamaran is used that day. The open bar is included on this product.
Tell the team about serious allergies when you book. Do not assume a full custom menu on a shared boat with a set kitchen.
You board at Port Zante Marina in Basseterre. Confirm your pickup or meeting details on the voucher so you arrive at the right door and are not waiting on the wrong pier.
Give your hotel or ship name when you book so the team can match you to the marina briefing. Allow a few extra minutes to leave shoes and hear the safety talk before lines come off.
Shitten's Bay sits on the south-east coast and is reached by boat. The crew describe it as a snorkel stop with reef fish such as snappers, damsels, and trumpetfish.
Sea turtles are protected if you see them. Do not touch coral or chase animals. Water clarity changes with wind and rain.
There is no numeric minimum age on this product. Infants must sit on laps. Strollers can be used on the marina side, not in the water or on wet decks.
Children who snorkel need to be happy in the sea with a crew member nearby. Life jackets are a crew decision on the day.
Lunch may be served on the catamaran or on a Nevis beach, depending on which boat is running. The live voucher is the place to check the plan for your date.
Either way, the open bar runs through the lounge stretch after the snorkel stop. Drink water as well as bar drinks, because sun on the water is strong.
The boat stays inshore along the coast toward the south-east peninsula. You are not crossing an ocean passage. Still, catamarans move and decks can be wet.
If you are prone to seasickness, take what you normally use before boarding. Shade is available, but sun on the water is strong.
Strong wind, lightning, or poor snorkel visibility can delay or cancel the day. The crew will not run a snorkel stop they consider unsafe.
If your date cannot run, follow the terms at checkout. Keep a spare day in port if the forecast is poor.
Bring swimwear, a cover-up, towel, sunscreen, and any medication you need for seven hours on the water. Shoes come off when you board.
Leave large bags you do not want on a wet deck at the hotel. A small dry pouch for phone and cards is useful.
