A visit to Jamaica would not be complete without an excursion to the Caribbean Sea. There is nothing like taking a catamaran ride into the crystal clear waters of the ocean. So be sure to take some time away from your Caribbean all-inclusive resort to see the wonders this water has to offer.
All companies that organize catamaran cruises ensure that all crew members are certified in water safety and CPR/First Aid training. The chances of everything going as planned are very good, but you never know. It always helps to be more prepared than not prepared at all. Most catamarans average around 64 feet with a capacity of 132 passengers. If you booked a catamaran excursion when you made your reservation at one of the resorts in Negril Jamaica, your package will probably already include a round-trip transfer from your resort to the pier.
One of the most popular cruises is the sunset cruise. Before the sun sets, you’ll cruise along the Negril beach and rocky cliffs at the lighthouse before stopping at a local cafe. You will then have time to swim, use the catamaran’s waterslide or watch the daring divers. As sunset approaches, local music and food will take over. You will be able to move to the rhythm of Reggae music while enjoying an open bar and open buffet. Be sure to bring your camera to capture all these amazing picturesque moments!
There is also a popular cruise that takes you to a plantation. This is a great trip that you can do with the whole family. As you cruise around Seven-Mile Beach, Bloody Bay, and Orange Bay, you’ll be able to enjoy island views from your comfortable seat on the catamaran. Before disembarking, there will also be another chance to get off the boat and swim in the water. Orange Bay has a great area for spectacular snorkeling. Once you’re done on the water, there will be tropical fruits and Jamaican punch waiting for you on shore. You will then hop on a saddled horse for a ride along the beach to the plantation. At the plantation, you’ll enjoy a tasty lunch served buffet-style including chicken, fish, vegetables, rice, and more! Once your belly is full, your catamaran will take you back to the dock where you can head back to your relaxing Jamaican resort.
