Why people love it

A standout slice of Barbados

Intimate small-group catamaran sails on the west coast — swim with turtles, snorkel a shipwreck, freshly prepared Bajan lunch and a premium open bar, with never more than 14 guests aboard.

What to expect

The experience, end to end

Calabaza is a boutique catamaran operator running small-group sailing experiences along the calm Caribbean west coast of Barbados, with a hard cap of 14 guests per shared cruise.

The signature Luxury Sail, Snorkel & Lunch trip pairs swimming with sea turtles and snorkelling over a shipwreck and reef with a freshly prepared Bajan lunch, dessert, snacks and a premium open bar (rum punch included).

A shorter Golden Hour Sunset cruise serves canapés and drinks against the Caribbean sunset, and the boat is also available for fully private charters tailored around celebrations, families or special occasions.

Complimentary transport is included between Oistins and Speightstown, and snorkel gear and flotation devices are provided — guests just bring a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen.

Children aged 4+ are welcome on shared cruises; under-4s are only permitted on private charters.
