The 30-meter luxury sailing catamaran offers the excitement of big ship sailing combined with the ultimate in comfort. Relax in the luxurious air-conditioned lounge with fully licensed bar, or soak up the sun under the sails on the expansive deck.

On arrival a shuttle will take you from the boat to the island, or you can dive straight in and swim to the beach!

The crew were very friendly and helpful. We loved the seafood buffet lunch. The snorkelling was amazing and we saw turtles, sharks and many beautiful fish. We would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful day out to the inner reef. Chose this option with my family as having been to the outer reef a few times previously wanted to ensure an easy enjoyable trip. Good points- Less distance to travel (do take the sea sickness tablets as soon as boarding, none of us were sick) & an island to stand on in case anyone was unwell & needed time to recover. Boat was clean & comfortable, staff very helpful. We went at Easter & thought would be busy but was an actually only about a third full so lots of opportunity to move around the boat. Stinger suits provided & snorkel gear. Would be helpful if they’d advised to put on suit when travelling across to the island save then trying to put on on the sand. Good snorkelling on the reef, we were lucky the tide was in so able to access the reef, good snorkelling saw lots of fish, clams. Coral & a distant turtle. Would have liked to have done the guided snorkel tour however it moves off very quickly after first transfer to the island & didn’t allow enough time for us to get our suits on & snorkels (trying to sort out the children). Which was a real shame as my eldest son (12yrs) particularly wanted to do it. Food was lovely, lots of choice & plenty of it.
