Rising Son Catamaran Adventure in Bermuda
Description
Spend an afternoon on the water during this Bermuda catamaran and snorkeling cruise. The catamaran will raise her sails and cruise throughout the Great Sound, before anchoring at a beautiful and secluded swim site. Once at anchor, you have the freedom to choose to swim up to the nearby beach or sand bar, kayak, try a SUP (paddle board) or kick around with the crew's snorkel gear on the nearby reef. One rum cocktail is included, and additional drinks can be purchased from the onboard bar.

Itinerary
Your Bermuda sailing adventure leaves from King’s Wharf in the parish of Sandys, on Bermuda’s northwest tip. After boarding your catamaran — the Rising Son II — set sail into the Great Sound. Sail for about an hour as you head toward a secluded swimming spot; during your time on the boat, just relax and enjoy the views. Lounge on one of the trampolines, soak up the sun on the upper deck or enjoy the shade in the cockpit. When you reach the swimming site, the crew will throw the anchor overboard and give you a quick safety briefing and snorkeling instructions. Then put on your provided mask, fins and snorkel and jump into the water! Snorkel above the nearby reef, checking out the local marine life, or if you prefer not to snorkel, you can use the boat’s kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore the bay, nearby beach and sandbar. You have 1.5 hours of playtime here, after which you’ll climb back on the catamaran for a refreshing ‘rum swizzle’ cocktail. During the cruise back to the wharf, get ready for another evening in paradise with additional drinks from the onboard bar (own expense). Tropical music on board will put you in the island spirit!

Very casual and kid friendly. Dynamite & fun crew. The boat is already equipped with snorkel gear, noodles, paddle boards & other gear. Also have a bar with soft drinks & cocktails for very reasonable price. Today was our 4th time aboard.
Matteo, Mack and Hawk were great. They were entertaining as they explained things, had great personalities and everyone was very cute for you single ladies.
What a really fun and great experience. Steve and the crew was great and kept us safe and having a great time. Traveling with kids and older parents and everyone had fun. For AI: much better than restless native!
Great boat and the crew were funny, knowledgeable and so nice. The views and water are just amazing.
Our snorkeling catamaran excursion aboard the Rising Son was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Bermuda. Matteo, captain, and crew were exceptional from start to finish, creating a fun, welcoming, and professional experience for everyone on board. The snorkeling and swimming location was absolutely perfect, with crystal-clear water, beautiful marine life, and ideal conditions for guests of all skill levels. What really stood out was the crew’s attention to safety. They maintained a watchful presence throughout the excursion, making sure everyone felt comfortable and secure in the water without ever being intrusive. Matteo also added a special touch by sharing fascinating historical perspectives about Bermuda and the surrounding area during the cruise. It was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and local insight. If you're looking for a snorkeling excursion in Bermuda, I can't recommend the Rising Son highly enough. Matteo and his crew go above and beyond to deliver a memorable experience. We would book this trip again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fun, guys were cool. The boat ride and swim was the highlight of our Bermuda trip. The guys have the option of stopping for a 30 foot cliff jump on the way back.
It was a relaxing and fun excursion. They were all really friendly and helpful. The excursion meet up site was 5 min off of the ship- they had everything you needed to snorkel and play. They got us back in plenty of time to get back to ship as it was our last day- Appreciated they rocked right near our cruise ship so it was easy to get back on. Thank you!
Great crew, good safe snorkeling location. Saw lots of fish. Good equipment provided and lots of drinks.
Rising Son Catamaran Adventure was a blast. Great spot for snorkeling and finding beautiful sea glass. The real star of the trip was the Captain and his crew. The "New Guy" was a so much fun. The entire crew had fun and you could tell the captain was a great person to work for. Interesting stories about the island...ask about the Bermuda manatee. Daughter even drive the catamaran for some time.
Had a great time on this catamaran adventure! The guides were friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful with lots of adventure options. Something for everyone!
