Join us for a fun-filled day at sea as we set sail on a private catamaran tour around beautiful Antigua! We'll cruise the coastline, stop to swim and snorkel, and enjoy drinks, snacks, and music along the way. This includes a Circumnavigation of the entire island. Ashley and Dexter have done this tour in the past and loved it! There’s no better boat than the “Spirit of Antigua” for this 60-mile trip. Your day includes snorkeling, exciting open ocean sailing along the north coast, as well as lunch at Green Island. In the afternoon you take a leisurely sail past English Harbour before returning to your departure point. Expect an easy pickup from the Royalton and a day-long trip filled with sunshine and good vibes. What to bring: Swimsuit, cover-up, towel, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and your best island energy! We can’t wait to celebrate on the water with you.
