What you'll see
Take a relaxing cruise along the picturesque shores of Seven Mile Beach and enjoy some of the best snorkeling on Grand Cayman on this two-stop ex-USS Kittiwake and Reef Sail.
Visit the famous wreck of the ex-USS Kittiwake, a 251-foot submarine rescue vessel sunk off Cayman's shores in January 2011. Resting in just 60-foot-deep water and reaching to within 15-feet of the surface, this exciting wreck will give you plenty to explore as you swim through this window into the past.
The second stop will be to a shallow coral reef where one can admire an array of marine life in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Snorkel equipment is provided. Dry snacks are included and a fully-licensed cash bar is available on board (alcoholic drinks available after in-water activity). Guests may board the catamaran at The Westin or Grand Cayman Beach Suites along Seven Mile Beach.
