The catamaran eases away from the dock and the coastline of Ocho Rios stretches open—limestone cliffs give way to relics of reef and sand, while warm trade winds push the deck’s music and laughter toward the horizon.
This is a four-hour private charter aboard a 55ft power catamaran, tailored for groups of 1–20 with an open bar, Bluetooth sound system, snorkeling gear and guided beach stops. Ocho Rios grew from a fishing settlement into a cruise and resort hub; its coves sit on fractured limestone and coral platforms carved by coastal currents over millennia. Local culture is present in the crew’s banter, reggae on the bow, and roadside stalls you might glimpse while beach hopping.
Expect clear, shallow reefs teeming with parrotfish and occasional green turtles where currents slow; the water usually sits in the mid-70s to low-80s°F (24–28°C). Stops are flexible—snorkel over coral gardens, glide on inflatables, and step onto quieter sandbars or small public beaches like those near Oracabessa.
Practical guidance: book with ship details if arriving by cruise, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and stagger alcohol with hydration if you plan to snorkel. Seas can be choppy; those prone to motion sickness should medicate beforehand. Leave only footprints—do not touch coral or remove shells. The crew provides life jackets and snorkeling equipment and will advise on currents and safe swim zones.
Timing matters: morning charters often mean calmer seas and clearer water for snorkeling; late-afternoon sails bring softer light for photos. Plan for sun protection, a waterproof bag, and a relaxed itinerary—this is both a social escape and a hands-on marine outing.
Bookings accommodate up to 20 guests on this 55ft catamaran—ideal for groups, families, or corporate outings.
Yes; masks, snorkels and basic guidance are provided by the crew for reef swims included in the charter.
Yes—cruise passengers must supply ship name, dock and cabin/boarding times at booking to coordinate embarkation and reboarding.
