Experience Details*
Set sail for a one-of-a-kind, enchanting voyage by the dramatic leeward coast of St Vincent.
Step aboard the elegant Scaramouche, a traditional West Indian wooden schooner that appeared in the blockbuster ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. With the wind in the sails (and your hair!) you’ll glide by the captivating coastline while listening to the sounds of the on-board steel band.
Sing along and dance with the friendly crew, who will punctuate their performances to regale you with stories about the ship and its movie role in particular.
At Mount Wynne Beach, slip ashore and relax in the shade of the palms that hang over the soft sand. Swim in the clear waters and, if you fancy a closer look at the subaquatic world, don some snorkel gear and dive deeper.
The party really gets started on the return sailing. As music fills the air, the Captain’s famous rum punch will flow freely. What better way to toast your day?

Essential information
Children and pregnant women may not participate. Please remember your swimwear, sunscreen and a towel. Depending on sea swells, an alternative anchorage may be used. There is limited walking on this tour, however guests must be able to negotiate boarding the schooner, which may involve stepping from the quayside to the schooner. Please refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages prior to any swimming activities. Guests must refer to the ‘Beach / Water Related’ paragraphs under the Guide to Symbols in this brochure.
ACTIVITY EXCURSIONS, You and all those in your party should be aware that, in undertaking activity excursions, you will be involved in a degree of physical exertion and/or activity such as hiking, biking, snorkelling, kayaking, diving etc. By booking the excursion you confirm that you and all those in your party are in good physical and mental condition, with no history of conditions such as seizures, dizziness, fainting, heart condition, respiratory problems or back/neck problems (by way of example only). You should also ensure that no one in your party is taking medicine that carries a warning about impairment of physical or mental abilities. If you are pregnant this type of excursion may not be appropriate for you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit and well enough to take part in the activities booked and you are reminded to take care for your own safety. Because of the risks associated with activity excursions, you may be asked by the excursion provider to sign a document which may affect or limit the excursion provider’s liability. Comfortable flat walking shoes are recommended.
BEACH/WATER RELATED EXCURSIONS, For any excursion involving water, passengers are reminded to exercise particular care. Alcohol and eating a full meal should be avoided before swimming. If buoyancy aids are provided for an activity they must be worn at all times. You should bear in mind that the sea is unpredictable. Lifeguards are unlikely to be present and there may not be a flag system to indicate whether or not it is safe to go in the water. In addition, beach activities may not be supervised or accompanied and so you should take care to satisfy yourself as to the safety of the beach and/or the sea at the time of your excursion. Please exercise caution when entering the sea as the seabed and aquatic environment is capable of springing surprises and we have not inspected the beach or seabed for its safety. Children must be supervised by you at all times near water. All activities on the beach, water and in the sea are undertaken at your own risk. You’ll need to take swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and flat shoes that can be worn in the water.
SCUBA DIVING, All passengers wishing to participate in a certified dive tour must hold a PADI open water scuba certification or BSAC Ocean Diver certification. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate divers with either a PADI Junior Open Water or a PADI Scuba Dive rating due to the depth limitations imposed by these qualifications. In line with the recommendations by the sports-diving industry, we strongly recommend that divers undertake a refresher course if they have not been diving within the last six months. You must be aged 15 or over, carry your dive certification card with you and we recommend that you carry your diving log or proof that you’ve recently completed a refresher course. If you are a certified diver, but are unable to meet our requirements we recommend taking the Discover Scuba excursion as an alternative. For Discover Scuba courses you don’t need any scuba experience but you must be 15 or over and be able to swim. You’ll also need to complete a medical/liability consent form before you go - but if you suffer from asthma, diabetes, heart problems or other medical conditions you won’t be able to take part.
