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.
