Sunset cruise by cruise
Chill Out Sunset Cruise
The Chill Out Sunset Cruise begins with a swim with sea turtles, followed by a snorkel stop over a shipwreck with tropical fish. You then sail along the coastline as the sun sets, and as night falls a dinner is served with wine and dessert, under the stars and the twinkling lights of the island. It caters for up to 46 guests.
Standard Classic Sunset Cruise
The Standard Classic Sunset Cruise runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays and lasts three hours. You snorkel over shipwrecks and swim with sea turtles, then sail along the west coast as the crew serves canapés and Prosecco and the sky changes colour. Unlimited drinks, snorkel and safety gear and plenty of shade are included, for up to 26 guests.
Premium Sunset Cruise
The Premium Sunset Cruise is a four-hour cruise for up to 14 guests. There are two snorkel stops, where you can swim with turtles and explore a reef or a shipwreck, plus light bites and snacks and a premium open bar as you cruise along the coastline.
