| Sailing
& Cruises |
The dazzling waters of the Caribbean Sea,
along with the gentle south-easterly trade
winds, have been beckoning would-be sailors
for centuries.
With over 70 miles of pollution
free coastline and warm, azure blue waters,
Barbados offers excellent conditions for sailing and
a huge crewed fleet from which to choose.
The
variety of cruises on
offer is wide and the call is yours, from the
sleek luxurious mega-catamarans to the smaller
more intimate mono-hulls and the wild “party-your-face-off” fun
cruises. Whether it’s a lunchtime snorkeling cruise
and a swim with the sea turtles or
a champagne cruise at sunset, there are few
experiences that will linger in the memory
of holiday makers like an exhilarating cruise
along the picturesque coastline of the island.

| Watersports |
Watersports including
water-skiing, jet ski rides, banana boat rides
are readily available and operators will be
pleased to pick you up at Reeds Beach.
The pristine waters off-shore possess treasures
that only a diving mask
and a scuba tank
can reveal.
So take the plunge, the scuba courses
offered are designed to get you diving the
same day! If you prefer to stay dry, you can
explore the ocean floor in a real submarine,
or enjoy the thrill of hooking the big one
that didn’t get away. |
