Barbados is spread out over 60 magnificent and possibly the most beautiful beaches in this hemisphere. Being at a beach, resort, or within a few mile radius is like biting into a side of a truffle and never getting a chance to taste the filling. Your Barbados vacation may be somewhat limited by time, money and situation. But, there is absolutely no excuse you can make for passing up the affordable and excellent cruises on offer within the island. This is an opportunity for the family to see Barbados from coast to coast and perhaps the next visit will be at the resort you just stopped by.
There are several cruises that the family and companions can surely enjoy themselves without having to seriously ruin their bank accounts. For a more intimate ride through the turquoise waters of Barbados, rent Cool Running. It is a 58 footer custom built for 36 people to provide a less crowded environment and a more personalized experience.
Daily cruises are also available that will take the family out to the pristine waters of the West Coast. These are from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sail while the cool breeze caresses your face and hair. Take a dip and swim with the island’s turtles. You can also go sunbathing or take a walk on the deck. Snorkeling equipment is also provided, so the kids are sure to love this ride. Dive and explore a shallow wreck where you can feed the fish. To complete the family vacation in Barbados there is a lunch with wine and dessert.
For a trip to a more romantic hideaway, charter Sunset Cruises. The cruise begins by swimming and snorkeling with the turtles and exploring shipwrecks. Hold hands as you watch the sun turn red-orange and form a purple reflection as it kisses the horizon. As the day says its goodbyes, look forward to a sumptuous dinner to be served alongside rum or wine and dessert. Before the cruise ends, gaze up at the night sky with sheets of twinkling stars. A truly relaxing and calming moment for hearts stressed and strained by urban life.
If you want a more precious and personal tour, aboard Small Cats Catarman Sailing which only allows a maximum of 12 people for a full cruise along Barbados. The ship sails from the incredible Colony Club Beach to the stunning Platinum Coast or the West Coast. There is ample space for those who want to bathe in the sun and a canopy for those who want less exposure.
Seeing more of the beautiful island will leave you wishing for more and will surely return each year until you complete a coast-to-coast indulgence during a Barbados holiday. Plus, as you’ll see with the kids, they enjoyed their vacation more when they chartered a cruise, swam with the turtles, explored, and were amazed at the crazy shipwrecks and the majestic underwater scene while snorkeling. All activities packed to ensure that the day is made the most of and that the family is left with the memory of a great visit to the Caribbean island.
