4.St. Kitts and Nevis Catamaran Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 42 reviews · 7 hours · from $120

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 😉…”

Seemed like they wanted to get you to the beach and be done. On the positive side...the driver/guide was friendly and informative and the lunch at the beach had several choices and was good.”
