A visit to Jamaica just wouldn’t be complete without an excursion out to the Caribbean Sea. There is nothing quite like taking a catamaran ride out into the wide open, crystal blue waters of the ocean. So make sure that you take some time out from your Caribbean all inclusive resort to see the wonders that this water has to offer.
All of the businesses that run the catamaran cruises make sure that all of the members of the crew are certified in water safety and first aid/CPR training. The odds are very good that everything will go as planned, but you will never know. It always helps to be more prepared than not prepared at all. Most catamarans average about 64 feet with a capacity of 132 passengers. If you booked a catamaran excursion when you made your reservation at one of the resorts in Negril Jamaica your package will probably already include a round trip transfer from your resort to the dock.
One of the most popular cruises is the sunset cruise. Before the sun sets, you will cruise along Negril Beach and rocky cliffs at the lighthouse before stopping off at a local cafe. You will then have time to swim, use the water slide off the catamaran or watch the daring cliff divers. As it gets closer to sunset the local music and food will takeover. You can move to the rhythm of Reggae music as you enjoy an open bar and an all you can eat buffet. Make sure to bring your camera to capture all of these amazing picturesque moments!
There is also a popular cruise that takes you to a plantation. This is a great trip that you can take with the whole family. As you cruise along Seven-Mile Beach, Bloody Bay and Orange Bay, you will be able to take in the sights of the island from your comfortable seat of the catamaran. Before going ashore there will also be another opportunity to get off the boat and swim in the water. Orange Bay has a great area for some spectacular snorkeling. Once you have finished in the water, there will be tropical fruits and Jamaican punch that await you onshore. You will then hop on a saddled horse that will take you on a ride along the beach up to the plantation. At the plantation you will be treated to a tasty lunch served buffet style that features, chicken, fish, vegetables, rice and more! After you have your belly full, your catamaran will then return you to the dock where you can make your way back to your relaxing Jamaica resort.
