- We were on a 7 day Southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas when we stopped in the port of Basseterre, St. Kitts. We purchased this shore excursion onboard for $119 US. The name of the tour was "Catamaran Fan-Ta-Sea to Nevis". Nevis is the neighboring island to St. Kitts. They took us through the shopping area of the port to another dock to board the catamaran.
We sailed first to the southern tip of St. Kitts to snorkel around the rusted wreck of a small ship.The water was very clear but there wasn't a whole lot to see. There were some very large schools of very small fish. We re-boarded the Catamaran and sailed on to Nevis.
On Nevis they put out a lunch for us on the beach. We had about an hour to walk around or swim. We went down the beach a short distance to the Four Seasons Resort. The beach was OK. The sand there is grey because it is volcanic I think. There are a lot of shell on the beach.
We left Nevis and headed back to the ship. We laid on the netting above the ocean at the front of the catamaran for most of the tour. On the way back we both dozed off only to be awakened when the waves started to break over the bough.
This was one of our favorite tours ever. Many times on "sailing" tours, they don't use the sails. We went on one in Mykonos, Greece that didn't. When I asked the captain if he was going to hoist the sails he said "maybe next time", Ha Ha Ha. Port Monkeys highly recommend this tour.
By the way, you could possibly purchase this tour privately onshore from Blue Water Safaris for less money.
We have today booked the train ride and cateran excursion when we visit St Kitts in 3 weeks time...can’t wait! 🥳🤹♀️👍

You're Welcome! Thanks for your comments and we hope you are a subscriber.
I worked on the build of that boat, sailed it and in 1998 there were tons of fish to see and tons of coral there,,, not so much today,,, sad for that.
Thanks for building it. We had a blast! Please subscribe to our channel.
We went on this in 2019. I thought it was a great time. Got pretty wrecked off the rum punch 😂
This was one of our favorite shore excursions we ever went on. We drank enough rum punch to put us to sleep on the way back. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Hi! Wondering why you rated this as one of your favorite ever excursions. Had you been on catamaran/snorkeling excursions prior to this. With not much to see in the water, which is what I would want on this excursion, I wouldn't rank this very high. Please elaborate. I will be there in Feb. 2023.and am seeking a very good snorkeling excursion where we will see something beautiful. Thank you!
Yes, we have been on catamaran and snorkeling excursions before. We really enjoyed this because it was a nice day, smooth sailing, and the water was clear. We feel when snorkeling in the Caribbean there is not much to see, so the bar is pretty low. We have snorkeled in Hawaii and Moorea, where there is a lot to see. Plus, we have been on several ‘sailing’ tours where they don’t use the sails. So by comparison, this was great! Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
I'm looking into this excursion for my next cruise. I have a snorkel do you know if it was allowed for people to use their own?
We brought our own equipment, but in the end you use theirs. I’m sure they allow it. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
Looks like a nice relaxing day! Are there bathrooms on the sailboat? And where did your wife purchase her straw hat and is it foldable? We are going on a cruise there in 3 weeks!
I think there is a bathroom in the cabin. We got our hats at Costco. This was on of the best tours we have been on. Thanks for your comments and we hope you are a subscriber.
Free.
If you mean the catamaran, no. It was $119. Thank you for your comments. Please subscribe to our channel.
Do you have to use their gear or can you bring your own?
We are pretty sure you could bring your own. We sometimes do. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.
What month of the year did you go on this?
We went at the end of October. Thanks for your comments and we hope you are a subscriber.
How deep the water is in this area?
Thanks for your comments. I would say the boat anchored in about 12 feet of water. The shipwreck was partially onshore. Most of the time we were in about 6-8 feet of water. Please subscribe to our channel.
Not a good excursion
Not sure why you say that, this was one of our favorite excursions. Thanks for your comments and we hope you subscribe to our channel.
