Spend seven hours sailing from Port Zante to Nevis aboard a custom-built catamaran. You will snorkel at a sea-access cove, cross the Narrows, enjoy lunch and drinks on the beach, and return with music and dancing. English-speaking crew, including Elvis, help first-time snorkelers.

“This was genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve ever booked through GYG. Communication from start to finish – right up to departure – was fantastic and really reassuring. The meeting point was just a few minutes from the cruise port, making it very easy to find. The catamaran itself was modern, spacious, and well laid out. With around 50 people onboard I initially worried it might feel overcrowded, but there was plenty of room once underway. The crew were absolute diamonds – some of the friendliest, most genuine people we’ve met – constantly checking in and keeping drinks topped up. Highly recommend the “Ting”… especially with a sting 😉…”

Super-clean catamaran, fabulous crew, nice snorkel location (reef suffering from global warming, but still plenty of fish, stingrays and turtles). Lunch and drinks were extremely good — GF and Vegetarian options were ample and delicious (even though I require neither). Nice size group — not at all over-crowded, and super-convenient location just a 10 min. walk from the cruise pier. Just have to land again on the crew — truly fantastic!”
