Starwind Snorkel

Cruise the crystalline waters of Grenada in a catamaran, stopping at popular Flamingo Bay to snorkel and at Grand Anse Bay to enjoy the gorgeous beach.

After departing from the pier on the sleek 60-foot catamaran Starwind, you will cruise through St. George’s horseshoe-shaped harbor while enjoying the sights from just off shore. This perspective offers an excellent view of the extinct volcanic crater that serves as a backdrop for the capital city, which the French founded in 1650.

As you cruise beyond the harbor, the catamaran will turn north, where you might see the National Cricket Stadium and natural land formations such as Moliniere Point. Flamingo Bay lies just beyond and is ideal for snorkeling because the waters are typically calm and clear.

The reef provides a natural habitat for an abundance of marine species, and it’s a never-ending, always-changing spectacle. You may spot yellowtail snapper among the elkhorn coral, banded jaw fish darting about, and even rare long-snout seahorses. The brilliant colors and odd shapes of the creatures below the surface are wonders to behold.

After approximately one hour, you will cruise south to Grand Anse Bay, which is rimmed with one of the island’s most beautiful stretches of sand. Although you’re free to stay aboard, it’s hard to resist the beach, where you might stroll along the shore, bask in the sun or simply relax in the shade of a palm tree. Following a forty-five minute visit here, you will cruise back to the pier.
