Detailed itinerary
1
Your Bermuda sailing adventure leaves from King’s Wharf in the parish of Sandys, on Bermuda’s northwest tip. After boarding your catamaran — the Rising Son II — set sail into the Great Sound.
Sail for about an hour as you head toward a secluded swimming spot; during your time on the boat, just relax and enjoy the views. Lounge on one of the trampolines, soak up the sun on the upper deck or enjoy the shade in the cockpit.
When you reach the swimming site, the crew will throw the anchor overboard and give you a quick safety briefing and snorkeling instructions. Then put on your provided mask, fins and snorkel and jump into the water!
Snorkel above the nearby reef, checking out the local marine life, or if you prefer not to snorkel, you can use the boat’s kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore the bay, nearby beach and sandbar.
You have 1.5 hours of playtime here, after which you’ll climb back on the catamaran for a refreshing ‘rum swizzle’ cocktail. During the cruise back to the wharf, get ready for another evening in paradise with additional drinks from the onboard bar (own expense). Tropical music on board will put you in the island spirit!
