The Sea Venture is a sailing trimaran, and we never take more than 16 guests. Big party catamarans often carry a hundred or more. On ours there's room to stretch out, and the crew has time for everyone.

Two hours on the water with one snorkel stop and an open bar. We time it so you sail back in as the sun goes down, which means the start time moves with the seasons: 5:00 pm from mid-February to early September, 4:30 pm the rest of the year.
Tonight the sun sets at 6:17 pm, so today's sail leaves at 4:30 pm.

They graze on the seagrass along this coast. We can't promise one, but the crew knows where they like to feed and will point you to them.
First stop, a few meters deep
A calm, shallow bay a short sail north of Palm Beach. The water is clear, and schools of striped sergeant majors swim right up to your mask.
Second stop
A rocky reef along the shore, just down the coast from Boca Catalina. Clear water over the reef and plenty of fish to see.
Help put the sails up, or let Danny pour you a rum punch. The bar opens when you step on board.
