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:

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. Equipment is provided, so you can travel light and focus on the experience. Expect vibrant coral gardens and fish encounters typical of Antigua’s warm Caribbean waters.

Practical Takeaways for the Perfect Catamaran Day

A few small preparations go a long way toward a seamless sail:

  1. Plan your morning fuel. Enjoy breakfast at Rafters from 7:30 AM–9:30 AM before you head out. Since lunch is included on board, you’ll be set for the day.
  2. Pack personal care items. The tour invites you to bring your own essentials—think reef-safe sunscreen, hat, sunglasses with a retainer, and a light cover-up. A towel and a waterproof phone pouch are handy, too.
  3. Dress for easy movement. Quick-dry swimwear and light footwear make beach stops and ladder entries more comfortable.
  4. Snorkel with confidence. All snorkeling equipment is provided, and guided sessions help you get the most from each reef stop.
  5. Expect a relaxed pace. The experience is designed for low-hassle enjoyment—music, coastline views, and friendly company come standard.
  6. Leave time post-sail. After returning to Little Ffryes, ease back into resort life with a sunset dip or a laid-back cocktail before dinner.
