Private Full Day Reef, Beach and Sandbar
Description
For our POWER CATAMARAN PRIVATE CHARTERS choose between a half day or full day adventure aboard our sleek, new flybridge custom power cat.
Power Catamaran private charter prices and length of tours vary, depending on the desired destination. All tours are customisable but below gives a sample tour itinerary.
Board our vessel for your snorkelling and beach adventure and make yourself comfortable as we set out on one of the most fun adventures available in Turks & Caicos. You will be picked up on Grace Bay Beach and then cruise along the North Coast of Providenciales, enjoying the views while relaxing on the Catamaran. We will head out to the Barrier Reef for our snorkel stop. Follow one of our experienced local guides on one of the most beautiful guided snorkel tours as we snorkel and explore the Leeward Reef, one of the healthiest living reefs in the Atlantic. You will see the usual residents like Snappers, Groupers, Sergeant majors, Trigger fish, Barracuda, Needle fish and sometimes Sharks Rays and Turtles. Leeward Reef is part of the Turks and Caicos Barrier reef network which is the third largest barrier reef system in the world.
After snorkelling we cruise back towards the rugged coastline with our next stop being either Little Water Cay or Half Moon Bay to explore pristine beaches and to visit the native Rock Iguanas, learn about their habitat, our efforts to save them and the struggles they face. The location chosen to see the Rock Iguanas is usually dependent on the weather. Both Islands are home to the native Rock Iguanas but Little Water Cay is where the National Trust operate their guided tours whereas at Half Moon Bay our guides will take you ashore and take you on a nature tour. Iguana tours by the National Trust cost $45 per person payable directly to their tour guides at the sites.
Half Moon Bay is an actual sandbar built by Mother Nature over time and its formation has created in a shallow lagoon area at the back, where we sometimes see bonefish, baby sharks, baby turtles, barracuda, mojarra and sometimes flamingoes. Our guides will take you for a walk along the lagoon, tell you about the iguanas, the different marine life found in the lagoon and give you a bit more information about the area, history of the islands etc.
Next you can choose to journey a bit further east and cruise along the North coast and cays and stop at one of the beautiful beaches to relax, swim, chill, hunt for shells and Sand Dollars or just roll around in the waves on the sand bars.
Our boats are equipped with state of the art sound systems which plays continuous music of the captains choice but on a private charter clients are free to connect via bluetooth and play the music of their choice. Soak up the sun while watching for dolphins as you enjoy the open bar as we head back to Grace Bay.
INCLUSIONS:
For all half day private charters we provide a picnic lunch provided by a local chef accompanied by an open bar which includes local and international beers, rum punch, mixed drinks (including our signature cocktail the ‘Dark and Stormy’) and soft drinks and bottled water.
For all Full Day Private Charters we provide a delicious barbecue prepared on the beach that includes ribs, chicken, lobster (in season and subject to availability), burgers and local peas and rice. The open bar is the same as for our private half day charters.

Pickup Location
Complimentary beach pick-up and drop-off by boat is included from select Grace Bay Beach hotels and resorts. If you’re staying at a private villa, Airbnb, or other accommodation not on the Grace Bay strip, we ask that you meet us on the beach in front of the Sibonne Hotel/Bay Bistro Restaurant. There is a public parking lot nearby, and it’s just a short walk down to the water’s edge where the boat will pick you up.
