El Tigre Catamaran Sailing Cruises, Bridgetown, Caribbean After hotel pickup, head to the marina in Bridgetown to board your catamaran, El Tigre, a 60-foot-long (18-meter) and 24-foot-wide (7-meter) schooner that’s big enough to carry 50 passengers but is limited to 36 per cruise to provide more space. The boat offers both shady and uncovered areas so you can choose to sit wherever you’ll be more comfortable.
Pull out of the marina and head along the west coast of Barbados, enjoying the sea breeze on your face and admiring the picturesque coastline. While you sail, just relax, sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of juice, rum punch or beer, and enjoy a slice of coconut bread.
Barbados, Barbados, Caribbean Make your way to your first snorkeling spot, where you should be able to see sea turtles. Spend 45 minutes snorkeling, and then hop back on board the boat to sail to your second snorkeling location, a shipwreck that has become a habitat for many tropical fish. You have another 45 minutes to snorkel here.
If you choose the 3-hour option, you’ll then be dropped off at a west coast beach, where your cruise ends. Your transportation will be waiting for you at this beach to return to your hotel.
If you select the 5-hour option, continue along the west coast to a third location, where you’ll stop to enjoy lunch onboard the boat. Then hop in the water to cool off, swimming up to the nearby beach, if you wish, for a stroll along the sand. Back on board, enjoy a cocktail and listen to soca — a style of Caribbean calypso music — while the boat returns you to the marina in Bridgetown, where your cruise ends.
Unlimited drinks (soda, beer and rum punch) are provided on both cruise options.

We had a brilliant time on our 3-hour experience. The staff were all great fun and very helpful, especially when in the water searching for wildlife for us to view. The snorkels/fins provided were of good quality, and the boat was very clean and well equipped. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

Amazing experience at a great price! 3 hours on the water snorkeling and sailing is a beautiful memory I will never forget. We saw turtles, beautiful fish, stingrays, and two ship wrecks. The staff is very attentive and friendly I am so glad we chose this activity! The transportation service is definitely a plus. Highly recommended !

We have sailed many times with El Tigre and always had a wonderful time. From pick-up at your hotel in the morning, throughout the cruise, and then drop-off back at the hotel in the afternoon - El Tigre crew makes it look effortless, when they are taking excellent care of you. We felt safe with 2 littles along (3 and 8 years old), the teens had a blast jumping into the ocean and swimming with the turtles, and the moms enjoyed on the hammock. A few years ago, we tried a different catamaran just to compare. Never again! El Tigre is where it's at - no need to try anyone else :)
