The Partnership
Official catamaran of Apes Hill Beach Club.
When the new Beach Club opened in Speightstown in late 2025, we were the catamaran they invited to the dock. Every Friday since, we've hosted the Members' Catamaran Experience — five hours, two snorkel stops, the same boat, slightly more rum.
The partnership runs the other way too. Members get a dedicated rate. Non-members are welcome on every other day of the week. Departure is from the Apes Hill dock — no transfer, no Bridgetown traffic, no fifty-person tour bus.
The Itinerary
A day on board
Every day looks a little different — the bay we anchor in, the order of the snorkel stops, the catch of the morning. This is the shape of a typical Lunch Cruise, give or take an hour.
- 01
10:00
Speightstown departure
We meet you at the dock at Apes Hill Beach Club, get the safety brief out of the way, and push off into the channel. Coffee and pastries on board.
- 02
11:00
Folkestone — turtles
First snorkel stop is in the marine park. Sea turtles year-round, often six or eight at a time, sometimes a stingray on the bottom.
- 03
12:30
Carlisle Bay — the wrecks
Three shipwrecks within a hundred metres of one another, all in fifteen feet of water. Tropical fish, bigger fish, the occasional reef squid.
- 04
13:30
Lunch on the back deck
We anchor in the bay and the chef cooks. Flying fish, plantain, peas-and-rice, pepper-pot stew if it's running that day. Rum punch.
- 05
14:30
Holetown — the long swim
Optional last swim or snorkel. Paddleboards and kayaks come out for anyone who wants them.
- 06
15:00
Return to port
We follow the coast back north as the sun lowers. Tea on board for anyone who wants it. Back at the dock just before three.
The Kitchen
Cooked fresh. On board. By people from here.
We don't do buffets. The chef cooks lunch on the back deck while you snorkel — the smell will reach you on the way back to the boat. Almost everything comes from the inland markets we know personally.
— On arrival
Coconut water and fresh fruit
Straight from the husk, plus mango, papaya, and pineapple from the inland markets
Coffee and pastries
Sweet bread, currant rolls, conkies if it's the right season
— Lunch
Flying fish, lightly seared
The Bajan national fish, caught off the south coast at dawn
Pepper-pot stew
Slow-braised pork in cassareep, the dish that's been simmering in some form since the seventeenth century
Macaroni pie
Comfort food, no apologies. Sharp cheddar, a hint of mustard, baked until the top blisters
Breadfruit and rice peas
Local sides, cooked the way Julius's grandmother cooks them
— Open bar
Mount Gay rum punch
House recipe. Ice cold. Easy on the bitters
Banks beer, sparkling, prosecco
All on ice from the moment you step on board
Soft drinks for the kids and the drivers
Coconut water, ting, ginger beer, fresh juices
The Captain
Meet Julius.
Julius has been on the water off Barbados for most of his life. He runs Breezy Days hands-on — answers the WhatsApp himself, greets every guest at the dock, hands you the rum punch. He's also why we cook lunch on the back deck instead of buying it ready-made.
You'll likely build the day with him over a couple of messages — what time you want to leave, dietary preferences, the shape of your group. He plans for what you actually want, not what fits the schedule.

The Reviews
What guests say.
“Booked for our anniversary, ended up making a friend in Julius. Two snorkel stops, the lunch was extraordinary, and our youngest fell asleep on the way back which never happens.”
“If you're staying on the west coast, do not, I repeat, do not get on a fifty-person boat from Bridgetown. The Platinum Coast is what you came for and these are the people to show it to you.”
