 St. Maarten/St. Martin

PRIVATE DAY SAIL AND SNORKEL TO PRICKLY PEAR
$108 Per Person

Prickly Pear is pure paradise, lying a short distance off the coast of Anguilla. Completely deserted except for the two little restaurants that provide lunch to visitors, nobody lives on Prickly Pear and restaurant staff travel over each day to be of service. This destination is all about relaxation. Palm trees bask in the sun, sugar birds dart through the restaurant and besides the three reefs for snorkeling, a walk around the island reveals great bird life. Simply gorgeous, Prickly Pear is a great choice for families with kids as the boat anchors for the day in one spot, with a nice long beach and shallow waters close in. Lunch is also a choice of BBQ chicken, fish or ribs and the day is spent languidly snorkeling, swimming or sunbathing.

Our boat is a large and spacious 60' sail catamaran, built on St. Croix. She was the first new breed of day charter cats to arrive in St. Maarten in 1996. The boats are very roomy with proper seating, a walk up bar and two toilet facilities. There are two nets up front which guests prize as prime positions to sunbathe while sailing, and an angled ladder that is lowered in the front for effortless access to the water when snorkeling.

The bar is well stocked with beers, rum punch, sodas and wine.

Drinks, French baguette, Gouda cheese and apples are served while sailing. All snorkel gear is included on board, as well as snorkel belts which ensure safety. Snorkel lessons are available if required. Once at a destination, snorkellers and swimmers can swim to shore or straight to the reefs to snorkel, while bags and non swimmers can ride in the dinghy to the beach with the crew. All guests should bring along bathing suits. These trips do not have island tours or shopping as part of their itinerary.
