Your Day on the Water: What to Expect
Seamless Beach Pickup at Little Ffryes
Boarding doesn’t get more convenient. Guests staying at Cocobay can be picked up from the beach area near the resort (Cocobay/Little Ffryes). Wadadli Cats also operates pickups from other listed hotels or at Deep Water Harbour and Jolly Harbour Marina, so if you’re exploring beyond the resort, you still have flexible meeting options.
Choose Your Cruise Style
Wadadli Cats offers multiple routes that showcase Antigua’s iconic seascapes. You’ll choose from experiences designed for snorkeling, beach time, and big-view sailing:
- Circumnavigation: A relaxing full-day loop around the entire island, giving you a sweeping view of Antigua’s coastlines and cays.
- Cades Reef: Guided snorkeling at one of the island’s best-known reefs—expect clear water, lively fish life, and easy access from the catamaran.
- Beach Stops (often Green Island): Time to swim, stroll, and soak up a classic Caribbean beach scene on a tranquil offshore islet.
Many sailings cruise through Antigua’s North Sound, an area known for calm waters and scattered islands—ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Onboard Vibe and Amenities
Step aboard a large catamaran built for comfort and stability. The crew sets the tone with great music and friendly energy, and you’ll find it easy to settle into island time. Practical touches—including a restroom on board—make the day feel carefree.
Midday, you’ll enjoy a Caribbean-style buffet served on deck, along with alcoholic beverages for those celebratory island sips. Between beach stops, reef visits, and open-water vistas, there’s plenty of time to lounge, chat, and simply watch the coastline drift by.
Snorkeling Made Easy
If you’re new to snorkeling, this is the perfect setting: guided sessions at prime reef locations help you find the best spots safely and confidently.
