But what if you want to do something a little different? Luckily, Barbados also offers many different catamaran cruise options! Let’s take a look at some of the top Barbados catamaran cruises and tours.
In this article:
Planning your trip to Barbados?
These are some of my favorite resources for booking Barbados travel.
✈️ Flights: I’ve had the best luck finding Barbados flight deals on Skyscanner . (Use airport code BGI for Bridgetown.)
🚗 Rental Cars: DiscoverCars has easy car hire pickup from the airport or town.
🏨 Hotels : Booking has good hotel and resort deals around the island.
🏠 Vacation Rentals : Check out VRBO for rentals and beach houses.
🌴 Guided Tours & Activities: Get Your Guide and Viator are my go-to’s.
Why Take a Barbados Catamaran Cruise?
Barbados has some of the best Catamaran cruises available. How could it not with its crystal clear waters and abundant sea life?
Taking a Barbados catamaran cruise is not only a great way to explore the area, get closer to nature, and see the island from a new perspective. Some Barbados catamaran cruises offer a luxurious experience that will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and pampered. Some experiences focus on snorkeling and adventurous water activities.

What to Look for in a Barbados Catamaran Cruise
When looking at Barbados catamaran trips, consider what activities you want to be included in your package. Some catamaran outings offer tours, some offer snorkeling, and some offer multi-course meals with bottomless drinks.
Ensuring your expectations line up with the planned activities on the catamaran trip will make sure you have the best experience possible.
Another tip is to check the catamaran departure and return time for your selected trip. Make sure it aligns with any other activities you have planned. For example, if you want to be back at your hotel by lunchtime, make sure the catamaran trip itinerary matches your desired timeline.
Types of Barbados Catamaran Cruises
There are three main types of catamaran cruises in Barbados – private tours, sunset cruises, lunch and snorkel cruises.
- Private Catamaran Tours. These are great for people who are seeking a more exclusive event. The catamaran is reserved just for the individual’s group, making this a perfect option for hosting a special event like a wedding, a date night (think proposal!), and even a honeymoon activity. Private tours are customized to your requested length of time and preferred activities.
- Sunset Cruises. Sunset cruises are exactly what they sound like. These catamaran cruises typically begin in the late afternoon and continue into the evening. Unlike private tours, sunset tours have established start and end times as well as pre-planned activities and meals. Most sunset cruises will include activities like snorkeling and dinner. This option is perfect for travelers who want to experience a Barbados sunset on the open water.
- Lunch and Snorkel Cruises. These catamaran snorkel cruises offer tasty lunches and snorkeling at some of the best spots around the island. Swim among sunken ships while admiring diverse marine life and even sea turtles! Cruise-goers will also enjoy sipping drinks and relaxing on the boat while sailing up the West Coast of the island. These cruises also have set start and end times and pre-determined activities. Perfect for travelers who want relaxation and those who want a bit of adventure.
Let’s take a look at the top catamaran cruises available in Barbados. All of the cruises listed below have great reviews on TripAdvisor and knowledgeable captains.

FAQ: Taking a Catamaran Cruise in Barbados
How much is a catamaran cruise in barbados.
Catamaran cruises in Barbados typically cost between $75 and $150 USD per person for a half-day, non-private charter. Usually, this includes several hours of exploring, snorkel equipment, drinks, snacks, and a meal.
How long is a Barbados catamaran cruise?
Catamaran boat trips typically last anywhere from a few hours to a half day, depending on the offer you book. When you make your reservation, your captain will tell you when to meet the boat and what time you can expect to return.
What do you wear on a catamaran cruise in Barbados?
Most Barbados catamaran cruises are casual and involve lots of swimming, so I recommend wearing a bathing suit with an easy coverup or tee shirt for when you want sun protection. A hat is nice to have for keeping the sun off your face, and you’ll definitely want to bring sunscreen and sunglasses. It’s also a good idea to bring a quick-drying towel so you can dry off between snorkel sessions. On your feet, a pair of flip-flops is fine since you’ll take off your shoes before you get on board.

I live in Barbados and have always gone on the very big catamarans. No more. I am a convert to this particular boat. The staff were amazing. Due to the fact that it is not one of the very large boats my friends and I did not have to deal with loads of other people on the boat. It was heaven. It felt like a private charter even though it was not. I highly recommend this boat.
Nick, Luca and Akim made our day out w Calypso cruises the highlight of our vacation. Whether swimming w the turtles, seeing the shipwrecks or just relaxing on the boat the calypso crew attends to every detail. It is pure fun from start to finish. And of course the pick up and drop off by Sean makes the day even easier. It is a much smaller group than some of the other boats running at the same time and everyone is just so friendly. It’s Barbados at its finest.

As always Nick delivers the best catamaran cruise trip on the island. This is absolutely a must-do when you visit Barbados and Nick and his team on Calypso Cruises offer a magical day. Their attentive service, fabulous food and drink and stops to swim the majestic turtles and snorkle over reefs and wrecks will give you lif time memories.
Mel Early | Oct 2018
Had the best day with Nick and James. From start to finish it was all i wished for and more. Nothing was too much trouble and the knowledge and information given to us was second to none. We were lucky there was only myself and my husband and American couple on board so it felt more like a private charter. Weve been on catamarans all over the Caribbean and parts of Europe and i have to say this made the rest look like amateurs. Loved ever second of it. Thanks Nick and James for a truely memorable day xx

About Silver Moon Catamaran Cruises
Blithe, pristine simplicity. This is the atmosphere Nick and Nicky Parker create on board their luxury catamaran cruises .
The owners of the immaculate Silver Moon family of catamarans are seasoned voyagers of the Barbados sea. Native to Barbados, they’ve been sailing its coastline on their luxury catamarans since 1984. After testing the waters on ships big and small, they started Silver Moon Barbados in 2002 with just one luxury catamaran and the promise of intimacy, community, and respite.
While Nick will often be your captain, Nicky manages the office and reservations. Their gorgeous family of catamarans —Silver Moon & Silver Moon 3 – sail the coast of Barbados with friendly groups of just 12 passengers. The cruise experience is so sublime, it becomes an annual tradition for many who’ve sailed.
Jump seaside into crystal blue Barbados waters; enjoy a cocktail on deck beneath the sun; or chat with our engaging local staff. Silver Moon Catamaran Cruises have something for everyone to enjoy.

“This was our third trip on Silver Moon and it has become an essential part of our trip to the island. I love the intimate setting, the first rate bajan lunch and the attention from all the crew. Tony is extremely attentive in the water and makes sure that every passenger gets some time close up with the turtles. The highest praise must go to Stacey – she’s fun, relaxed, professional, and an excellent captain.”
“After being in the sun all day, cold refreshing peppermint face towels were offered. That last bit just did it for me! 🙂 Quite impressed indeed!”
Holetown, Barbados , Trip Advisor Review
“I would give this ten stars if I could!! Our day on the Silver Moon was one of the best days out we’ve ever had.”
Edinburgh, UK , Trip Advisor Review
“The people on the tour were a great group of people that come every year and do a tour with Silver Moon. They love it that much and I don’t blame them! We loved the small intimate 12 person group… you won’t go wrong doing this unless you don’t like to have fun in the sun.”

“I would highly recommend this trip, the guys on the boat couldn’t do enough for everyone, they were constantly going round getting drinks and checking we were ok. We went to 2 different locations and swam with turtles and over ship wrecks, it was more than I could imagine! The lunch on board was delicious, a lovely buffet of salad, fish and chicken. The music was infectious and from young to old we all had a great time! An excellent day out!” – Diane, Barbados ( see more reviews )

Barbados Sunset Catamaran Excursion with Calypso Cruises
Our last day of our Caribbean cruise on P&O Arvia arrived as we docked back where we started in Barbados.
We had a full day and night in port before leaving the next morning so decided to make the most of being able to be out later in the evening and booked a sunset catamaran tour – an independent excursion rather than a P&O one – with a local company, Calypso Cruises.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_1537-1024x768.jpg)
We were met at the port exit by the Calypso Tours driver, who took us a short 10-minute or so drive to a local marina, where the Calypso Cruises catamaran is moored.
What we liked about this excursion was that it promised to limit numbers to no more than 14 people on the boat, unlike some of the other catamaran tours around Barbados, which you see full of people crammed on board – maybe 50+ people or so.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sunset-cruise-barbados-1024x768.jpg)
As it happened, there was actually only seven people on the catamaran in total – us four and three others – so it felt virtually as if we had the whole boat to ourselves, which was a real unexpected bonus.
We were given a brief introduction by the captain Nick to the other two crew members and an explanation of what to expect on the cruise.
And what to expect was mainly being supplied with large amounts of alcohol and food, along with the opportunity to hopefully snorkel with some turtles and to enjoy a perfect, uninterrupted view of the famous Barbados sunset as we cruised along the serene Caribbean coastline.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_1565-1024x768.jpg)
Nick, the captain, is a real character – friendly, welcoming, full of jokes and clearly keen to make sure everyone enjoys themselves as much as possible on his catamaran.
The two crew members – Akeem and Oisin (sorry if that’s the wrong spelling) – were equally friendly and eager to make us as comfortable and well-furnished with drink and food as they could.
We were able to stretch out on the front netting of the catamaran completely by ourselves, enjoying a drink on the way to our first stop in Carlisle Bay.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catamaran-1024x780.jpg)
Here we dropped the anchor and were able to get snorkelling gear on (all of which was supplied), as it’s a frequent hangout of turtles.
Apparently the turtles like coming here as they’re supplied with a regular source of easy food by the tourists, which has tamed many of the turtles enough that they’ll swim right up to you and even take food right out of your hand.
It didn’t take long before we spotted one on the seabed and soon it was swimming up towards us to come up for air.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_1024/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/GPTempDownload-9-1024x896.jpg)
It wasn’t quite as confident as those who come right up to you, but it didn’t seem phased about us and other snorkellers as it glided gracefully past us, close enough for us to get some good photos and video footage.
The next day we saw on one of the P&O Arvia Facebook groups an awesome video someone else had posted of a turtle swimming with them at the same place – and being fed directly by hand – so it does happen, but we had to leave for the rest of the sunset cruise before we got the chance to encounter any more.
Back on the boat, we headed leisurely up the west coast of Barbados, passing by the beautiful P&O Arvia in port and cruising past the beaches with the sun setting beside us.
We were lucky, as during the morning we’d been hit by a rare bout of heavy rain and cloud, which we thought was going to turn our final excursion of the cruise into a complete washout.
In fact we very nearly cancelled, as we thought the weather would ruin the experience, but we were glad we didn’t as we’d now been swimming with turtles and were being treated to a stunning sunset in incredibly calm waters.
![sunset tours barbados](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_768/https://www.footstepstravelblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_1536-768x1024.jpg)
The crew entertained us with interesting and funny stories about the region, their lives here – and kept a constant flow of drink and food coming throughout.
Eventually it was time to head back, and with the sun having set and the sky now dark, we cruised serenely back to the marina to be met by the driver who took us back for our last night aboard Arvia.
The Sunset Catamaran Tour with Calypso Cruises in Barbados provided a brilliant end to our holiday and we enjoyed every minute.
If you’re looking to do a sunset boat excursion in Barbados, then look no further than Calypso Cruises.
Their setup of keeping the numbers on board to just a small group made the whole experience much more enjoyable than other options we considered and we highly recommend them.
