Description

Your own boat rather than a share of somebody else’s. Two reef moorings off Giftun, a guide who gets in the water with you, and a lunch cooked on board while the skipper repositions to the afternoon anchorage.

Ten guests maximum and the timings are yours: stay longer on a reef you like, or head for the shallow anchorage early if there are children aboard.

Highlights

  • Private charter, not a shared marina boat
  • Two reef moorings with an in-water guide
  • Grilled lunch cooked and served on board
  • A shallow sandy anchorage suitable for beginners and children
  • Mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit included

Itinerary

Marina and briefing

Hotel pickup for 8:30. Gear fitting on the dock, a short reef and safety briefing, and out through the channel by 9:00.

Northern reef wall

Around ninety minutes at the Giftun wall. Your guide leads a route for those who want one and stays close to anyone less confident.

Lunch under way

Grilled fish, rice, salads and fresh bread on the shaded aft deck while the boat repositions.

Shallow anchorage

A sandy-bottomed spot for easy swimming straight off the ladder, then a slow return to the marina for about 15:30.
