How the day runs
We leave at four and head north along the coast as the light turns. Canapés come out at five — local tuna, grilled pineapple, plantain crisps. The sun goes into the water at six and we make our way back along the gold-lit shoreline. It's the charter we'd run for ourselves on a Friday night.

The Itinerary
A sunset charter, hour by hour.
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 Charter, give or take an hour.

Return along the coastline

Canapés & Bar
Small plates while the light goes.
Three hours doesn't need a sit-down lunch. We do canapés that travel between hands and the bow nets — built to be eaten standing up, with a glass in the other hand.
