Happy, slightly sunburnt sailors

Saw three turtles and a ray in the first ten minutes. The crew knew every reef by heart. Best morning of the whole trip.
Priya & MarcusReef Snorkel Run
The sunset cruise was the proposal spot. She said yes, the whole boat cheered, and the captain broke out extra rum punch.

Took the kids island hopping and they still talk about the beach-shack lunch. Easy booking, zero hidden fees, real value.

Good to know

Questions before you cast off

Do I need to know how to swim?

Nope. Every guest gets a buoyancy vest, and there's always a crew member in the water on snorkel stops. Plenty of guests just float and watch the reef go by.

What if the weather turns?

If we cancel for weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule — your call. We only sail when it's safe and genuinely fun.

Are the trips kid-friendly?

Absolutely — under-5s ride free, and the Three-Island Hop is a family favourite. Child-size gear is on board and the crew keeps a close eye out.

What should I bring?

Swimmers, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen and a hat. We supply everything else, including dry-bags for phones and cameras.

Salt & Spray

Small-group snorkel runs and sunset cruises out of Palmetto Cove since 2017. Locally crewed, coast-guard certified, reliably sunny.
