Set off from La Parguera for a compact, private snorkeling day charter that concentrates good water time into a focused three‑hour outing—exploring vibrant coral gardens, drifting over shallow reef, and stretching out on serene sand bars under the direction of a licensed captain. The trip is outfitted with full snorkel kit, safety gear, a two‑person kayak and on‑deck orientation so the emphasis stays on the water and what’s under it.

THE UNDERWATER

Clear Caribbean Reefs and Snorkel Time

The core of the charter is time in La Parguera’s clear water over coral reef—guided snorkel stops designed to put you on top of the healthiest-looking patches and marine life the operator targets for private groups.

THE CREW

Licensed Captain and Private Charter Ease

This is a private day-boat experience with a certified, licensed captain who directs the route, provides snorkel orientation, and positions the boat for easy water entry and exit for your group.

THE KIT

All‑Included Snorkel Gear, Kayak and Comfort Items

The charter supplies masks, snorkels and fins, life jackets, a floating mattress and a two‑person kayak so the group does not need to bring specialized equipment to enjoy the water.

What the day feels like

What the Three Hours Feel Like

The rhythm is pragmatic and marine‑first: quick boarding with a short orientation, then successive stops for snorkeling over reef pockets, an opportunity to relax on sand bars, and light paddling in the kayak. The captain handles navigation and safety while providing basic snorkel instruction, leaving the group to move at a deliberate, relaxed pace between water time and shore‑like rests.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this private charter suits—and who should rethink

1
Small Private GroupsIdeal for groups of friends or family traveling together who can meet the operator’s minimum booking size and prefer a private boat experience.
2
Celebration or Team OutingsWell suited to small celebrations or workplace teams that want a single private boat for a shared marine experience within the 4–16 participant range.
3
Not for Solo Travelers Seeking Private BookingsNot a match for single travelers seeking an individual booking unless they join others to meet the minimum group requirement.
4
Groups Needing a Private, Short Water DayA compact three‑hour window that works well for groups who want concentrated time on the water rather than a full‑day commitment—bookings must respect the operator’s minimum and maximum group sizes.
