Ocean Cay Catamaran Sailing & Snorkeling

Sailing
3 hours
Easy
Max 20

Sail the warm turquoise waters surrounding Ocean Cay aboard a sleek catamaran, then anchor at a pristine snorkeling spot teeming with tropical fish and healthy coral formations. The crew provides all gear, safety briefings, and beverages so you can focus on the views above and below the waterline. The sailing itself is half the fun — wind in your hair, sun on your skin, and the private island shrinking behind you. Logistically, this is one of the easiest water excursions you'll find on any cruise. Departure is right from the island's marina, no taxi or transfer needed. The excursion is timed to get you back well before the ship's departure, and the crew coordinates directly with MSC. Restrooms are available on the catamaran, and shade is plentiful under the canopy. This excursion suits couples looking for a romantic sail, families with older kids who want snorkeling time, and anyone who loves being on the water without the intensity of a full diving trip. Moderate swimmers do fine here — the snorkeling spots are shallow and calm.
