Step aboard the catamaran and look up at the Black River mountain range and the mythical Morne Mountain, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the calm blue waters of the West, complete relaxation awaits.  Depart from The Morne Anglers Club at 9:15 AM and head to Tamarin Bay. Here, you can try to spot the dolphins. Then, take a leisurely sail in direction of Crystal Rock and stop on the way for some snorkeling and swimming next to the coral reef. Once you arrive at Crystal Rock, you may have another swim while the crew is preparing a delicious BBQ. After lunch, you will be able to spend 40 minutes discovering Ilot Benitier.

    Super nice crew, food and boat; and also some nice places to visit. The sail was great and I really enjoyed being onboard. The crew was super friendly and served a lot of drinks as soon as requested. The service was really great. I do not appreciate the dolphin sceance where many boats are circling and following them around at the same time, but at least no one from this boat where desperately jumping in the water to them as soon as possible. The visit (transfer) to the paradise island was not amazing (a lot of souvenir shops) and in my opinion too long, but the water around was stunning and definitely worth the visit.

    It was a wonderful experience. We saw Dolphins very close to our catamaran. Glad we were not allowed to jump but enjoy the view of the wild dolphins from the boat without disturbing them too much. We also did snorkelling and saw the Crystal Rock and visited the island of Ile Le Benetiers. The crew were very friendly and very helpful. The food was awesome, although it said BBQ, it was very vegetarian and vegan friendly and really tasty. The hospitality was great and overall it was a very pleasant experience. Totally worth it!

    It is indeed one of the best cruises I have been to in my life. How 6 hours went so fast we didnt even get to know. The ship crew was so friendly abd the barbeque lunch was beyond delicious. The dolphin spotting activity was beautiful and complemented by a wonderful snorkelling experience. Would love to go again.
